concern about what others may think, making someone mad at you, etc. People are almost always more honest, and their statements more reliable, when they are anonymous.

CougarBoard

6/8/13 11:16pm

That's great and all, but now I want to be able to give two thumbs up.

I heard you should create an additional account to give yourself two votes

i want to push the "LOL" button on this. Where is it?

Cougar8Duck

What about a feature where if a post gets a certain number of thumbs down, it

6/8/13 11:27pm

I like the delete idea but not the list... then they would attract unwanted

CrackerJack

6/8/13 11:31pm

No, that would be too easy to abuse

El Jefe

6/8/13 11:42pm

You just earned yourself a big fat thumbs down for that one. Ouch.

CrackerJack

6/8/13 11:43pm

They could just be hidden automatically like the ignore filter

KingDave

6/8/13 11:43pm

Couldn't we just have a star system?

SuperTank

6/8/13 11:28pm

Any way to make it kinda like FB where you can see who gave the thumbs up and

BE-WHY-YOU

Yeah, I may do that

He wants his anonymous name to be anonymous.

Cougar8Duck

6/9/13 11:54am

Okay, done. Just click on them to see who.

El Jefe

6/9/13 12:13am

Cool -- interesting to see who likes and dislikes.

For us technologically challenged, click where?

BYUfan92

6/9/13 10:31am

Next to the subject line, you'll see the total thumbs up/down

El Jefe

6/9/13 10:33am

Ah, got it. Was trying to see that from the main board page not the page

BYUfan92

6/9/13 10:35am

Doesn't work for me.

This is a precursor to voting someone off the board. TNT's days are numbered.

CrackerJack

6/8/13 11:32pm

I like this new feature

dchandle15

6/8/13 11:35pm

Now need to be able to sort by post with most thumbs up in 24 hrs, 1 week, etc

yorksama

6/8/13 11:44pm

Thumbs up for this.

CrackerJack

6/8/13 11:45pm

I think it should be by ratio though.

For those concerned about the number of thumbs up/down on the board right now

El Jefe

6/8/13 11:46pm

Shouldn't this replace POTD?

molodyets

6/8/13 11:51pm

Nope, unless we limit the number of thumbs up/down per day

El Jefe

6/9/13 12:14am

So you have to go into a message to give a thumbs up/down, right?

ataylor

6/8/13 11:51pm

Clicking on the message to thumb it will give Jefe more page views

BYUCoug11

6/9/13 12:05am

i think you should at least have the "appearance" of reading the msg before

ds7

6/9/13 12:06am

Yeah, I've thought of that

El Jefe

6/9/13 12:15am

Finally

IGlowInTheDark

6/8/13 11:51pm

can anybody "vote" or do you have to be a donor?

ds7

6/8/13 11:56pm

That's a fair point

El Jefe

6/9/13 12:16am

No board will ever be "our board."

Shimmy

6/9/13 12:17am

No way to remove a thumbs up/down except to change to the other?

Non-donor troll

6/8/13 11:57pm

Yeah, I may fix that soon

El Jefe

6/9/13 12:16am

Just a note Jefe - when you click on a message, the thumbs down icon is wrong

BYUCoug11

6/9/13 12:07am

I think on the offset this seems good, but over time it will run it's course...

ocmyhome

6/9/13 12:59am

Can we have the the thumbs up/thumbs down shown on "Top 10 Recent..."

Oceanographer

6/9/13 1:02am

My button needs Prozac. It is so depressed...

TexasCoug

6/9/13 11:19am

The only other enhancement I would like is the reorder post feature...

LEDSFW

6/9/13 11:28am

I hate that feature. Please no.

PharmCoug

6/9/13 11:43am

This would defeat the architecture of CB

ocmyhome

6/9/13 2:23pm

Fortunately for you, I agree

El Jefe

6/9/13 2:34pm

Ill throw out a thumbs up here...

ocmyhome

6/9/13 2:55pm

Just wondering - I know you now own some other boards as well

BYUFam1

6/10/13 6:58am

I thought about it, but probably won't

El Jefe

6/10/13 7:37am

I think the current mode should be the default

The Shazad

6/9/13 7:08pm

Why would anyone thumbs down this? Well done Jefe.

Katewot

6/9/13 4:05pm

Why doesn't the total of either update after I push it??

BlueNtheFace

6/9/13 10:03pm

Refresh the page.

MantiCoug

6/9/13 10:09pm

Because I'm lazy :)

Huh?

El Jefe

How do you plan to use this data?

JackJackJack

6/10/13 10:49am

Nope, I have no current plans to use it at all
