Just noticed that I cannot use the "voting" buttons on the forum. (I am logged on). Is there an issue? Reply to this message | Report message       2

Now I know some love them and some hate them but I can't use them at all at the moment. I am logged in, can post messages but if I try and like or give anyone a frownie it tells me I have to be logged in to do it. I logged out and logged back in and it's made no difference at all. Any suggestions? Pat Reply to this message | Report message       2

The thumb doesn't work for me, either. Don't know about the frownie. Reply to this message | Report message       2

Its broke. That you noticed it reinforces my belief you are the phantom frownie giver. Last edited by: Zero on Sun 11 Nov 18 at 14:32 Reply to this message | Report message       2

On the contrary, I'm the phantom thumbs giver. If I disapprove, I say so as you well know since it's often got me in trouble:) Pat Reply to this message | Report message       2

Alternative to the voting buttons? Replying and putting your name to your opinion. That'd change a few things. Reply to this message | Report message       1

I noticed it when I wanted to thank someone recently. I assumed it was part of a witch-hunt after the expulsion of He-who-must-not-be-named, and that it was a warning to some other suspects. Now I learn that everyone else has had the privilege withdrawn too I feel a bit affronted. :) Reply to this message | Report message       2

It would be good to have the green thumbs back but hopefully not the silly pathetic red faces. Reply to this message | Report message       2

I wanted to give you one of each as a test, the green one works. You can give me a red one if you want, they are meaningless. Last edited by: Old Navy on Mon 12 Nov 18 at 17:28 Reply to this message | Report message       3

Admittedly the Red Faces are the most pathetic, but the green thumbs aren't much better. Reply to this message | Report message       1

I tried to give Mark a green thumb. A dialogue box popped up and said . "A GREEN THUMB FOR NoFM2R?" DON'T BE RIDICULOUS. Reply to this message | Report message       2

Why would anybody bother fixing that? I'm sure we've previously had the explanation that moving them would cost time/effort and so wouldn't be done. yet time/effort can be sued for fixing them? Last edited by: No FM2R on Mon 12 Nov 18 at 17:40 Reply to this message | Report message       1

Thanks for heads up. The mods were in touch a lot because of some of the recent shenanigans so they mentioned it. Should be all fixed now. The problem with the software though is that it runs on an older legacy server (older PHP) and so even though I fix it on a local version I'm running much later stuff and so debugging the particular issues on that machine can be quite difficult. I checked the rating thing is ok - as for offensive faces - well they just get fixed as part of the wash as it were. Reply to this message | Report message       2

I've changed my mind about them. If somebody behaves badly, they deserve boos, not polite correspondence that they can then pick at. Similarly with applause for helpful posts. Feel free to hit me with a frowny if you are offended by this. Reply to this message | Report message       9

I've changed my mind too. I agree with boos, where appropriate, because it is usually obvious what the boos are for. But a "helpful" thumbs up is meaningless. If it doesn't mean you like the post, what's the point of saying it is helpful. I hate your views but I think they are helpful in furthering a debate embracing all opinions? If we have to have a thumbs up, it should mean what commonsense says it means - ie, I agree, I like it. Reply to this message | Report message       2

I've never used a scowly face on anyone, but I've used green thumbs anonymously. I use them exclusively on things that make me laugh, whether it's a good joke or some clever wordplay. I've never used them to agree with an opinion. This is because I'm shallow enough to enjoy getting the odd green thumb if I say something that at least to me, is amusing. It means that there's just one other person out there who thinks as I do on occasion is all. Obviously that makes me a needy person. Grade me, grade me.

>> Grade me, grade me. >> Willingly - here's by green thumb. But as it seems we are all using green thumbs to mean different things: That's a good joke, made me smile I like that opinion I don't like that opinion but it is helpful I don't see why someone's given you a scowl, so have a green thumb to balance it your running total of 19 thumbs may or may not assuage your need :) Reply to this message | Report message
