  • Most people probably don't realise this, but this forum has had two editors for a number of years. One is the xenForo default editor, and the other is a custom editor I made years back I called BBCEd.

    All the settings for which editor you use was lost during the upgrade. You can find the setting under Account Settings > Preferences > Editor.

Add a "like" option!

Old topic!
The last post in this thread is over 60 days old. Posting in this thread will be considered a bump, so please make an attempt to be courteous if you go ahead with it.

If the last post is over 6 months old, it may instead be a better idea to start a new topic. If you aren't sure about what to do, feel free to ask a staff member for help, or try to locate a 'general questions'-type thread if it exists in this (sub-)forum.

A like is equivalent to "some random agrees with your post for no discernible reason". I mean there's no reason, no identifier, and no context, just a number the poster can mistakenly fuel their ego with. Rather than quality posting they will post for easy likes.

Do you really want this place to be the next Facebook or Tumblr?

It isn't enough to say that you agree with a post, it is better to say "why" you agree with a post. I mean you all have opinions don't you? The whole point of forums is to encourage discussion.

Also, I think it would be better if we could just like threads instead of the posts.
We did have that pre xF. As Xemous said, nobody ever used it.

As to your last point: I'm pretty sure avoiding shitposts altogether is a better outcome than deleting and punishing a huge number of shitposts. "Prevention is better than cure", yadda yadda...
The images are little more than an extension of postcounts, which acts no differently. You would need to nix postcounts entirely to make what you suggest a viable option.
