I am seeing every post from every thread that I follow on my unread content page.  I hope we can get back to the way it has always been, seeing only the most recent post with the ability to go directly to the first unread message.  Thank you.

 

P.S.  Love the speed of the site now.

 

I'm seeing this happening again, just started this morning.

 

Edit: Ignore! ... Just tried again, in a slightly different way - and all is OK. Not sure what happened, was it a browser issue?

Testing some reputation displays on the site right now. Reputation is very important online and I'd like to see if this helps or hurts. Also, we have no feedback system for buyers or sellers in the Classifieds section, so this reputation may be another datapoint to help people.

Worth another shot, Chris!

Btw, on iPhone screens, your long user handle is obscuring your reputation score.

 Chris, can you please share the formula how the reactions given and reactions received will have as result the community reputation?

Thanks

HI Matt, I'm digging into that now. I control some of it, but not everything. Here is the part I control. You can see some reactions give a +1 while the others are neutral. The Dislike is a -1, but that's not enabled due to misuse by sophomoric people.

But then you would have +17855 community reputation with all points added from given and received.

Chris, did we lose the ability to search for users in the latest update? I don’t mean a regular search filtered by user. Rather, a search for a specific username.

Can you give me a quick example so I know exactly what you mean?

@austinpop

You'll find it under "more options" inside the search function

 

 

[austinpop]

Ah found it. On iPhone, it’s here:

I'm not touching you taking the bait and rekindling that old flame, Chris.  

 

In an entirely new category of defamation.  What in the Sam Hill is your thinking behind this member reputation hullabaloo?  Who cares, who needs it, who even thinks this matters when clearly post count is a demonstrative enough metric to gauge many vital items off of.  It's all been downhill in this direction since some, probably well meaning, new member inadvisably gave you your first like in the "Album of the evening."

My earpiece isn’t working. Did you say something?

It seems to be a mystery how someone gets his or her "community reputation" points.

I’ll figure it out. 

[The Computer Audiophile]

I just used a reputation recount behind the scenes on my account a lost some points 😢

 

Still trying to figure out how it’s calculated.

Same for me, went down from 320 to now 287 points. 😭

 

Matt

[The Computer Audiophile]

73+14+60+140=287

 

The 2 and 9 don’t count because they are neutral.

Yes, but this would make sense now when it is all points added from the reactions received.

But why then publish the reactions given when they do not matter?

@The Computer Audiophile is there any chance the “Mark Forum as Read” button can be moved so that it fits within the field of view on an iPhone Max?  It used to be, but with the updated site I have to flip my phone to landscape to see the button.

 

Landscape view shows the button:

 

The button goes missing in portrait view:

OK, I checked it out on an iPhone Max simulation and see that the Mark forum Read moves to the bottom in portrait orientation. The code change involved in changing that and not causing a regression issue is a bit steep. If this is a major issue for people I can certainly start testing it.

 

It never hurts to ask and I I always want people to speak up with what they want. Otherwise I have no idea.

Ah yes, I now see a hyperlink at the bottom. Works for me!

Something else: Do I notice correctly that we can't change our own OP any more ?

Apologies if I missed an announcement about that.

 

Or isn't that supposed to show up here:

 

 

but in another button I can't find, elsewhere ?

Good morning Chris,

 

Maybe you missed my question there ?

Thanks !
