Post Ratings Discussion

[Markass the Worst]

I just tried to like a post and it took me to a page that had this. Before I clicked "like" I noticed that hovering over it didn't bring up the usual reactions, then clicking took me to this:

I refreshed the page I had been on and could react normally. Very odd.

This happens if the Javascript doesn't load, you middle click / right click -> new tab the reaction, or you navigate to the reaction url manually.

Why was that sticker sperg general thread in general discussion from a few days ago removed?

 

[Azsunyx]

How do you get permissions to use additional ratings outside of the default ones?

 

[Tanuki Mixed Nuts]

I've been unable to react to posts anymore. Every time I try it just brings up this message.

This is me agree reacting to you in a post because I can't do it as an actual react.

gib back stickers



Edit: apparently it happens only with specific stickers for some reason

 

[Patrick Bait-man]

We're finally free from the shackles of "react?reaction_id=?".

 

[Day of the Cope]

When Null said all reactions, he meant all of them! Even for non T&HF!

With the recent revelation that Lunacy and Thunk Provoking are not actually SVGs, I whipped up somewhat faithful, vectorized replicas of them, as attached, since I had an urge to offer a solution to rectify the inconsistency.
Not sure if they'd be used, but I did get some Inkscape practice.

This has bothering me for a while too, lmao. Now that we're modernizing the theme, let's make all reactions consistently use vectors. The raster ones (thunk provoking especially) look rather blurry on mobile.

Spoiler: Just fix the issue above, but if you want to go the extra mile....

@BlueSpark also made a couple revised versions of the other reactions a while back. These were closer to the 2018 XenForo style. I've grown fond of the more saturated color palette, so I wouldn't change all of them. I really like the Feels, Trash can, Autistic, Drink and Deviant improvements though.

We changed the colours a little while back (but to blue and a distinct shade of red) so that they don't look the same. So it should be easier to tell them apart.

So this is the icon set:

So, if everyone's happy with these, I'll forward them to Null. Feel free to make some suggestions if you don't like them, I'll wait for some feedback in this thread before I send them.

I lightened the Drink liquid and the teeth on the Deviant rating so they're better distinguished from the gums and lips:

Also

Posts now show all the reactions to it instead of 3 most used ones. Pre-XF2 old-timers, rejoice!

We should totally bring this back tbh (or if you want to avoid the clutter, raising the limit to the top 5 or something).

1. I agree w/ others that there should be a laughing emoji. I've received 3,225 reactions in my short time here. Dislike has been given twice. If others rarely receive it, too, perhaps we can retire it and replace with a laughing one. There's plenty of negative ones that people use to indicate their dislike.
2. It might be helpful if the tooltip overlay included the points awarded. Not that they matter, but I don't think most people use "Lunacy" how it was intended. Showing -1 might key people in that "Lunacy" is for the Farmer acting like a loon, not for reporting on something looney.
3. Is it possible the TMI warning isn't public facing? I feel it'd be trivial to scan for TMI warnings and doxx folks. TMI as private would be optimal if warning others is a genuine concern.

I hate how often I post an article on A&N regarding the circus of modern life and the flood of lunacy-rates makes me feel like I should have never posted anything at all.

[Twix Eatr]

Care to elaborate on your reasoning for 1 and 3?

 

[Cheesy Beavy]

Dislike has been given twice

Thrice now.

 

[Twix Eatr]

This is why it must go. We could've filled the world with laughter. But now, you're all going to be in a big, big trouble. When null hears about you misusing his reaction feature, party's over, toads!

 

[The Strongest Haaton]

Other than a laughing sticker, I want a "mixed feelings" sticker. Sometimes a post has a really good point but also says something really stupid. Having something that mixes agree and disagree or like and dislike would add a bit of nuance to it.

I'm probably going to be in the minority here and land myself a lot of puzzle pieces for this, but that's whatever. Honestly, out of all the sticker-related features, the one I actually miss the most is the one that hasn't made a full comeback yet, That feature for me would be exact figures for users' "reaction score".

It sounds Leddit and narcissistic on the surface to want that feature back, but here's the thing: when this was still visible, I would find myself falling back on it (a lot more often than I expected I would) as an indicator of "how good is this poster", particularly when looked at as a ratio between score and post count. If, for example, someone had a reaction score of 20,000, but they only had about 2,000 posts at most, then that would usually tell me (albeit only at a first glance!) that "hey, this person is consistently posting stuff that at least 10 people (on average) found good every time, must be a decent poster overall." On the other hand, if for those 2,000 posts they only got about 2,000 score overall, or even less, that just tells me "this person is either just a bog-standard chatter or keeps also being retarded outside of any good posts". To me, it felt like a decent first gauge of "quality over quantity" which a simple "Positive/Negative" just doesn't cover; you still see so many pink-triangle users who have a "Positive" score despite the fact that they're consistently regarded as fucking annoying by most other users.

If either the raw score came back, or it was at least replaced with a direct score-to-post ratio, I'd say that would be pretty nice.

 

[Twix Eatr]

That's tight the boards used to have that. I built something like that to at least view my own.

 

[AnsemSoD1]

I think they make Null sad

 

[Poison]

We should get rid of null.

 

[TV's Adam West]

Null can really sing.
