New Thumbs Up/Down & Quoted You Function

[elcidofaguy]

Dear All,

You may have noticed the new "thumbs up/down and who quoted you" function which has just recently been added to the forum.

Its located in the lower right hand corner and is a quick way to show your appreciation or disagreement on any posts:

In addition you also receive updates when someone gives you a thumbs or quotes you via the "notifications" menu item which is shown below your user name as well as a summary displayed with your details when you make a post on the forum.

We hope you enjoy using this new feature and of course let us know what you think of it...

Cheers,

Sid

Yeah, I logged in today and had a bunch of notifications. Most were thumbs up from people. I am liking this new feature so far. I hope others do as well

Nice to know you like these features :ertery:

Why have a thumbs up/down feature AND a thanks button? You really only need one or the other, right?

A side note to that, I think the thumbs down feature might end up being a bad idea. It could be the kind of thing that starts fights/disagreements or just leaves someone with a bad taste in their mouth.

That's a great point buddy - certainly worth considering... After all FB still to this day hasn't introduced a "Not Like" button of some sorts... Curious to hear of other opinions ;-)

Yeah we can use one of two features but I think we could use both because

"Thumbs up" when someone reads your post and agreeing that your posts are "Ok, good, useful, cool, great..." then they should press it.

"Thanks" when someone got helps from you and they need to say "Thanks for your helps" when they should press on "Thanks" button.

A side note to that, I think the thumbs down feature might end up being a bad idea. It could be the kind of thing that starts fights/disagreements or just leaves someone with a bad taste in their mouth.

You are right in this case

And, with this case, I pressed thumbs up on your post for a good question

I get that. It just seems like overkill, and I doubt most users are going to understand and/or care about the difference.

I am liking this guy D: ...very real.

Ok. It depends on what they want to click "Thanks" or " Thumbs up" but anyhow we still can use both features on the forum.

At first, I was a bit confused by the two. I appreciate the explanations. I think they could both work. Even though I haven't been here that long, I've gotten both.

Nice.

Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it!

That's my motto! :ertery:
