What's in the upgrade?

[buddhasummer]

For example, one of these reactions was positive and the other negative (?) but presumably both get added to Reaction Score, that being the case what's the point of having it? Thank you.

Nice update, but the recent posts button is now hidden in the Menu.

I would like to have it more accessable. With a fast click i can see what changed. Thats not possible anymore. Maybe bring the button back to the main menu?

Try the lightning bolt.

When I pressed that on my mobile phone it logged me out.

Must've been an anomaly, works as you said, just tried it again. Thank you.

I may have it all wrong in my head, but, the "Reaction Score" seems all but meaningless now given the reaction could've been positive or negative? In my mind the point of the original "Likes" was to, at least in some part, give an idea to others as to ones standing etc within the community, for me as a "seller" it was important. Happy to be corrected if my understanding is incorrect. Cheers.

The entire expansion of Likes is a horrible idea.

Do you really want people starting to downvote posts? I was on a forum that got destroyed when that was introduced because a group of people starting downvoting every post from another group which led to retaliation and public arguments and then people leaving entirely. The forum owners eventually removed it, but the damage was permanent.

It also takes something very simple and straightforward and makes it confusing and impenetrable.

Above all, why would you "credit" someone with a vote of "disagree" or "confusing"? Is the goal here really to promote argumentative or uninformed posters?

Well said, here, here.

We had abuse of the old "like" system in the past as well which we as moderators took care of, if anyone sees any abuse please report the post and we will take care of it.

On a personal note, I have OFTEN wanted to downvote a post because I disagreed with it, the disagree option will at least allow folks to get a better idea of how the community feels about a specific post. For example, theres a certain deco "expert" who would have gotten about 1000 disagrees from me over the years. Instead of things turning into a bickering match, its now possible to respond, then disagree with the response to your post then leave it at that. Hopefully that will unlit some of the threads.

Its gonna be a learning curve folks, circumstances forced our hand to roll out early due to old database/server issues that couldn't be worked around anymore.

I disagreed. How does that make you feel?

I feel bad when people are unhappy with my posts. If they are in the form of a reply, at least I can respond to them. On several occasions those replies have led me to rethink and revise my posts.

But what do I do with a "disagree" without any context?

If I get enough of them, I can guarantee I won't post as often. Just as the likes I've received have encouraged me to post more.
