i don t know how, but i always end up at the first unread comment. sometimes 30-40 pages in this thread after it.
Good morning brothers and sisters!
Cloudy with some rain and gusty winds today, starting at 40F and predicted to reach 51F.
I personally miss the like/hate button.
Consider a game of bowling where the view of the pins was obscured once the ball was released. How much of the joy and excitement was lost and how long will the players continue to participate?
I confess that I check like on every post on this thread that isn't disgusting, to encourage others to participate whether I agree or not.
It also keeps track of what I've read, so that I can quickly pick up where I left off when I return to the thread. That feature could be replaced with a simple read button.
I don't know where this thread started, but I've watched this core group move from Canna Cabana to Marijuana Passion, and now to IC Mag. The thing that holds us together is compatible perspectives, respect, and camaraderie developed over time sharing what is going on in our lives.
Part of the respect we've developed is based on well thought out, researched, and presented information, and I miss the love button as a way to express my appreciation without resorting to an effusive post, which they all don't all rate.
Part of what is going on in our lives is non-technical and our online chatter includes horseplay and risible one liner bon mots to engage the child in us all. Not getting laughing face feedback that others also find it humorous, will ostensibly reduce those exchanges.
If us getting points for our non-technical BS exchanges are perturbing those contributors adding "meaningful cannabis related content", could we compromise by returning the like button but having it disconnected from the balance of the forum, so as to not affect the total?
That means that we would not receive credit for the meaningful cannabis related content that we contributed on this thread, but I'm comfortable with that because despite the deeply insightful points shared by "old Heads" here, most of what we do on this thread is socialize and there are technical threads available for those wishing to accrue credit for their contributions.
likes or call it now reaction score, are building up on members profile

problem is not about giving or recieving, the thumbs up, it is not always showing the contribution to the site with content with cannabis, and lot of the veteran members have this problem, they did not post enough over the years to hit the 1000 posts limit, but their comments are very informative, or its content is very useful.
you don t need to be a grower, there are tons of other threads that are not under the Off topic node.
there are some add-ons to customize the reaction score settings, but those are not yet installed.
sorry for the inconvenience.
Why 'likes' have been turned off on non cannabis related forums -
We will reduce the veteran badge requirements soon, and we wanted to prevent the off topic posting fast reaction score collecting - and somehow turn the reaction score towards the contributed cannabis related posts only - and not 4 words game likes for example.it is just turned off at off topics, and now only available in mostly cannabis related forums.
We wanted to make it without disabling the like function, but there i s no way to exclude it from specific threads/subforums.
If we can find a way to do it, it will be turned back soon, but for now it was the only solution to stop adding offtopic likes to reaction score
Who makes the determination that this is a non cannabis related forum? Just because we shuck around a lot, I still get most of my advice in growing from this page from the folks I trust and have known now for years some of them.Why 'likes' have been turned off on non cannabis related forums -
