Reaction score. Where did it go?

[Steve H]

I liked seeing the reaction score. Why is it now gone?

 

[JLeonard]

It still shows on your profile. But I see what you mean....It is gone from your individual post.

Maybe they decided that it wasn’t necessary, or a distraction. Don’t know. If you want an answer, just send a message to bmudd14474 .

Good question. I like seeing the reaction score of members. To me that's more interesting than
how many messages.

 

[tx smoker]

Yep, good question Steve. I kinda liked seeing it also. Had not checked in a long, long time but it's also gone from the Forum Statistics page. Actually a number of things have been removed from the statistics page. Maybe just too much stuff to keep up with?

To much competition for some ?

To much competition for some ?

Never saw it as a competition thing. To me it showed how many people liked and appreciated what I was doing. And I was damned proud of it.

I agree . Same here .

It doesn't really bother me either way, but I do think likes have been cheapened over the years. It used to be you were only allowed to like so many times in a day(I think 10). So the numbers weren't so inflated.

As for the amount of responses goes at least that shows your participation in the forums. So I guess I like that one better.

That should all be hard-coded in the forums program. So it's done automatically.

Me too! I always appreciate what you put up!

I never knew they were limited to x amount per day so as not to inflate the numbers. That's a great idea. When did that go away?

I'm not sure when, but sometime before the forum changed formats.

That is 100% accurate from my perspective. Well stated.

All too true. Ya see some people just hitting the "like" button on everything they read. As much as I enjoyed seeing people's reaction scores, I did take them with a small grain of salt due to this.

I figured as much but was somewhat trying to give a reason for the admins that it was removed

That's a great idea. When did that go away?

It used to be "points" as opposed to "likes" and yes, there was only a limited number of points you could pass out in a day. Don't really know when or why it changed but it has certainly changed. Not that the change is a bad thing in any way, it's just a different format now.

Thanking someone for a like?

What is the proper etiquette for thanking someone when they give you a like? A private message, responding in the

Hard to figure why something that wasn't broke needed to get fixed. RAY

I've noticed reaction scores before but honestly didn't know what they meant or how the scoring process worked. After reading this thread, can I assume it is a ratio of likes to posts?

It's not a ratio, It's the amount of times members have hit the like button on your posts.

If it is used properly. It shows how many times someone has liked your posts. Be it a recipe, info on an item, picture, etc, etc

I guess I'm the forum baffoon that didn't even know this was a thing

Im gonna have to pay attention better - Not the first time I've been told to do so

 

[SmokyMose]

I'm in the habit of giving a "like" to folks who make a nice comment on my posts.
I don't individually thank everyone who "likes" something I did or said. That should be understood and I'm not that chatty.
I'll continue that habit.
I can be wrong (ask my wife), but I'm thinking there's some sort of fragile ego political correctness thing going on....
