Message/Post "Rating/Reaction" options.......

[Boudica]

Dear Signs 101 Admin. We users of this most useful forum, would like to have some input on how we are able to interact and engage on this forum. The former style had options we were used to, and I for one wish some of them would come back. Is there any wiggle room for customization? Is there a limit to the "reaction" options, and can they be customized?

Pleeeaaaase?

Tex, don't get excited, that like was because I agree not cuz I like you.

I like the random gallery. It does show some awesome stuff. However, due to the randomness, I guess some of our goofier image postings are included. Just ads to the random roulette of the fun site.

And that ha ha, was because I agree. I don't like either of you... but often agree with you. I'm laughing and crying that I can not rate your post as I'd like to.

There seems to be a lot of non-signs related "crap" media shown, that could be deleted and therefore free up space.
As for "reaction" buttons . . . how about a frowning (smiley) with a big raised eyebrow (big hairy eyeball) for use when questionable or improper information is supplied.

Ditto

Yes, some of do miss the hilarious rating points. I thought it was a good status, for when newbies don't know how to read a post (the brief written response is often misunderstood). so, I feel having appropriate reaction/rating data is useful for the researchers. Too bad Paul took that all away with his new awesome ad-driven forum. Sorry, but this new format kinda sucks. I've been trying to adjust and help others, but the experience of engaging now is becoming not worth it.
oh well, business is busy here. I guess I'll come back not to help others, but ask for help when I need it. Hope I don't get crickets.

Away with all the post ratings.
A simple "like" is good enough. People would go around disliking peoples stuff to prove a point and get on their nerves.

A forum for be for asking questions and helping others. Also providing info for the community.

I like you Pauly, but I disagree. I think the Ratings/Reaction options are very valid.
I don't always have time, or the knowledge or words to respond. I like the option to agree - if I agree. If I don't know enough to agree with a response, I will like the input. I can disagree, rarely do, the newb that I am. I'd like the option to appreciate, or let someone know I get the joke and find it funny. It's an easy way to engage, without having to say something. If you want to disagree... that's ok, but sometimes is an honest question why. If I said something on this forum, that someone I respect disagreed with.. I would want to know why. I might ask them publicly or privately... others do the same.

Boudica would love to be the HEAD OF THE COMITTEE FOR RATINGS AND REACTIONS ON SIGNS101
and what the icons should be. Thanks for adding back informative, but it should not be a bowing (oh thank you) emoji/symbol.
But I doubt there is any room for bringing on new help. (informative)

Angry is the go to until it's fixed.

 

[balstestrat]

I must be blind or stupid because I still don't see how you do those reactions other than agree. Not on mobile at least.

I get where you're coming from. I always use the reacts..
I'm just tired of people disagreeing with people when they have no clue what they're disagreeing about with no reason for the disagreement.

Which is why I'm advocating for All the options we had, and clearly there is room for other options. Like... Sad . Or angry... I'm liking the angry option. That's me.
Any hoo... It's going to get abused, as it was before. No need to take it away from all because of the idiots.

On my phone you kinda press and hold the agree, then the other options should pop up

 

[Vinyl slayer]

Improvements!

 

[ikarasu]

If you long press the agree button on mobile you can select a different one... Including disagree now it seems!

Long press over the 'agree button' - at least that is how it works on my Android/chrome browser phone.
