What about a donkey?

I miss her anger.

You are both cunts.

Also possibly a 'Like' function or 'Plus 1'

Possibly could also down vote certain comments if they are plain retarded for a sort of self modding? The way Youtube does it

Hey Everyone.

This is a replacement for the "New Forums" thread, it's a place for you guys to chat with myself & Patrick about tech stuff, let us know if something is broke, and ask for changes/new features.

We're happy with constructive feedback - please offer a useful solution (don't just slag us off, as that's no fun for anyone).

If you'd like to check out what's going on with the tech side of things, I've created a public Trello board which we'll attempt to keep up to date. This will include stuff we're currently working on and stuff we're looking to get to next, so please make sure we're not actively working on it before suggesting :)

Thanks all!

The problem with the "thumbs down" type option is it may discourage fairly newer users from posting again, they make a post people disagree with, get several dislikes, then think "screw this YF mob" and doesn't come back. It already kind of happens, I worry a feature like this would only make it worse.

In the active topics list can you show the sub forum that threads are in, then I can skip the trophy manager threads titled 'NZ National team' etc. Currently the only way to tell is threads started by Tegal.

Yeah realise that must be annoying, sorry about that. Those thread were made when subforums were split in the active topics page, so never thought about it being confusing at the time (because it wasnt). 

Maybe we can get Patrick to put (TM) in front of thread titles in the meantime?

Actually agree with this :(

Hate forums that have a +1, but can't be downvoted, also understand it might discourage posters as well. Ugh.

I'm a fan of having only positive votes. Things get negative enough around here without people saying things like "WTF am I being downvoted?", and I think thought-out, coherant replies to posts that one does not agree with should be encouraged, rather than just clicking a downvote button.

At the moment, it's harder to say that you agree with a post than if you disagree, so I think a +1 button would help solve that.

Have updated the Trello with some of the bugs. I've also enabled public voting on there, so if there's something that particularly tickles your fancy (or particularly pisses you off) feel free to chuck some votes onto it.

In terms of the +1 thing: It's a really common suggestion, I'd just prefer that everyone hashed out exactly how we want it to work before we add it.

I think if you have it like YouTube does, but exclude the thumbs down option. It'd maybe encourage some posters who end up getting almost bullied out of a point of view, if they see a few likes above their post. So it may actually help to solve a forum problem, as well as being a nice little feature.

We can always tweak it too, some forums I've used only allow up/down vote if you've reached a certain post threshold... or there's always the possibility of introducing "karma".

Smilies!
