Positive feedback (whether by +1's, thanks, likes, etc) encourages users to be helpful and polite, and highlites users who go out of their way to help others, so some form of feedback is good for the community in general. It's the negatives that need looking at as they can be out of spite at times. There's always the "Report" button to handle offensive posts.

A thanks button would be great I agree with all that has been said so far really. If it ain't broke then don't fix it if you don't want to. Just something I had noticed That doesn't really seems to be used how it should or much at all really.

The reason i suggested thanks button is that it stands out and it's clear what it's for. The +/- is too hard to find imo. Wether the button says thanks or like I don't care, just as long as it's recognizable.

Some long posts (e.g. Skin Screenshoots ) mean you have to scroll past all the lovely eye candy before you know if a post is recent or not!!

New forum looks great - but I'd have to agree with the location of the Time and Date. Its much easier to work out currency of a post when the date is at the top of the post (see this post http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=32891 as an example)

+1

Date and time at the top would be great! So accustomed to that on pretty much every forum out there.

Thanks a Million for sorting this! (looks much better on top IMHO)

and seriously; congrats on such a smooth transition- New forums look great!!

Kinda OT but still

We could expect similar situation with rating of addons that's planned.

I vote for positive only.

(Did the formating buttons disappear or did I screw up?)

"only a single user rep per user "
This if course the most important but I also vote for either only positiv or remove completly.


Thanks for the plus and for removing the -6 Smile

I am also missing those text format buttons in the quick reply.
Now i have to go to full edit or preview post which is in turn way to crowded IMO for quick editing


RE: New forum - Pros and Cons - vikjon0 - 2012-03-15 08:34

Yes, that is also a con but I meant that I now lost them in full edit as well

no, the editor should be there in the regular reply mode. Which browser are you using? Is it possible for you to turn on a JavaScript console in your browser and see if there is any error message?

Would be nice to get it back in quick reply mode too for posting links and images
