Forum Update

[Coach]

Hi guys,

I will be updating the forum software today. There will be periods of time where the forum may be down or look differently. I will be working as fast as possible to get us back up and running.

Thanks for your patience.

I have added the ability to give a post a Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down rating. Let me know your thoughts. My only concern is that people will get a lot of thumbs down if they don't share the same opinion as the majority. I personally like hearing different opinions. It is a big reason why I started the site.

So no promises that we will keep it, but I thought I'd try it.

Edit: I have removed the thumbs down option so that we can avoid the issue I described above.

I don't see a problem with the thumbs down option as long as it is anonymous, it doesn't have a post option like rep. Actually, to me, seems a little like a redundant feature since those types of sentiments can currently be expressed through rep with the only difference being that rep is not a public displayed sentiment of a particular post. However, I really don't have a problem with it one way or the other.

BTW I thumbs uped your "Thumbs Up" post.

Any news about having the original (thread starter) post at the top of each page within the thread?

Any chance that can be disabled for those of us that do not want it?!

I will check to see if I can make that happen.

That would be great if you could, myself I find it repetitive and a waste of bandwidth to repeat the post. The update is looking great and the effort is appreciated.

I understand and appreciate your point of view, but I think the bandwidth is minimal and it helps those of us old geezers with bad memories and short attention spans to stay on topic.

How do you give a thumbs up I can only figure out how to give a thumbs down.

That's weird, all I see in posts are options to give thumbs up, except for those posts I've already given thumbs up to.
