ELynah Forum Update

[Jim Hyla]

Is there no way to have the rating not take a new page? I don't need to see my rating register, but it's nice to be able to go back to the main forum page by just hitting backspace once.

Oh, good. This won't lead to civility issues.

I downrated you, but it only decremented the rating -- it doesn't actually show that someone downrated you. I guess I'll still have to be a jerk manually.

Also, why is the "good" button green, and the "bad" button red? =]

Because if the "good" button was red and the "bad" button was crimson, they'd look too much alike?  :-D

Red China didn't like that red lights meant stop when red should mean progress in the glorious people's republic, so they swapped red and green, found it was almost as effective as the one-child policy in limiting population, and then switched back. You could look it up. I did and couldn't find citations, which makes me wonder if this was an early form of urban legend that predates Al Gore's invention.

The thank/flame count is now shown on each user's profile page, the total rating for a thread is shown in the list view, and a link for "Top Users" in the control panel bar now works (after much wrangling of buggy, buggy code). The author didn't bother implementing the "top threads" function despite putting a stub for it, so, time permitting, I'll add that.

[Beeeej]

Is there any way we can personally track down which of our posts received thanks/flames?  I assume the answer is no, but I'm going to ask anyway.

[CowbellGuy]

Not at the moment, but the data's in there so it's just a matter of writing it.

Age, I don't think this is working as designed in Chrome. I just liked RichH's thread starter about 10 times. The rating didn't appear but he's suddenly the #1 rated poster.

[underskill]

what happened to the Iphone version?  It's been going to the regular non-mobile site for the past couple weeks.

[CowbellGuy]

The iPhone version was incomplete and kind of buggy. The author started it but never finished it and since you can't get to lots of features I turned it off. Time permitting, I'd consider trying to finish it, but I don't think it's too terrible just using the full site.

[CowbellGuy]

Just tried in Chrome and it worked fine. Was your connection being slow to load or something? I could disable the button as soon as it's pressed.

[Chris '03]

All is fine otherwise. After playing with it a little more, I think the bug may be limited to the first post in a thread.

I see the -1 button has gone away...

I see the -1 button has gone away...

In this case can we have a Carnellian (red) "+1"?

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

No negative ratings?  Does this constitute grade inflation?
