Feedback New features and New Issues in Forum version 2.1

[ClarkeM]

I'm a fan however, this irks me a bit. Can we unbold the type of reaction or even delete it altogether and just leave the emoji?

Especially the "with Like" - just feels too busy.

Or another idea, "DemonJim Haha'd your post in the thread..."

Chief is there a way to turn off the avatars displaying for each thread at the https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/ level? I'd prefer to have text only if possible.

 

[Biggy_Boy]

The return of alternative likes?
Don't forget the classic

No I think it is fine.

On mobile when I insert an emoji i get an unnecessary pop up telling me the emoji has been inserted.

Chief can the “jump to new” button be replicated at the bottom of the page please?

Just being lazy and trying to avoid the need to scroll back to the top to find it after following a link back to an old page.

Hi Chief

[thylacine60]

hey, chiefy - text cannot be highlighted - well it can be but you can't format it once it has been - highlight she be dead..............

Hi Chief

Did the GIF issue get fixed?

No - per the other thread, it’s an issue with the third party editor they use.

It’s Froala if you are inclined to investigate more, I won’t have time really.

nevermind, searched the answer on google.....long press to bring up

What a pretty looking thumbs down button.

shame we don't have that

 

[Quivorir]

No I think it is fine.

Reactions:

We can add new reactions, and change their value.

So a thumbs down is possible. And maybe the classic rainbow. Maybe too.

Chief i have a bit of a philosophical issue with the new reaction vs like feature.

on our profiles, and avatar section, how many times we've been "liked" is an ingrained part of BF over the last number of years. Getting points for them, awards, etc.

Now, if people choose any other reaction instead, it doesn't add to our current "like" tally and what's more, if people go back and start changing old likes to reactions instead, our "like" tally drops -- as is happening to me now as someone is doing to me now.

i personally don't care, more important things in life....but, in a philosophical sense, or functional sense, these new reactions are making "likes" and their very ingrained part of BF now redundant.

is there a solution to this growing endemic?
removing the importance of "likes" in our avatar section and profiles?
including any reaction as a "like"?
some other idea?

 

[Exe Gesis]

We can add new reactions

Should add this one....

Do the notifications without the red bar have any significance or just an error?

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

What sort of person would change likes to a " wow " reaction? Stop making things up GG.exe

red bar means NEW notifications that you haven't noticed/clicked to view.

The score can be edited.

That love one seems so out of place, best i change it to a wow

 

[Exe Gesis]

Endemic dead in its tracks. What a genius solution. So simple. And even when "dislike" is added to reactions, it doesn't subtract from your tally, just you will see a tally for how many "dislikes" you got, but all up your overall Reaction Tally still grows Genius

 

[Exe Gesis]

Chief the "Unfurling URL" feature works like a charm....see below, just some random old article from a random site you wouldn't think it would work on. Never have to copy-paste articles again

Ok. No worries
