Hi Admin,

 

While I realize that the software company who supplies your Forum software controls all improvements and/or modifications.  However, since, as we have seen recently, they do make modifications which affect all of us -- I would like to suggest a modification you can make to them which will greatly improve the effectiveness of the Forums.

 

On each discussion, we see the label:  11 replies · 0 likes · Last Reply by xxxxxxx

 

In all the time we have used this new software -- I have NEVER seen anyone use the "likes" button.   It is always "0 likes."   So, since no one uses it -- why not replace it with "X reads"?   Since many of us are on the Religion Forum to share the Word of God with all of our Forum Friends -- it would be useful to know, not just how many reply, but, how many actually "read" the posts.   All the "replies" tell us is how many atheists and non-believers post or attempt to hijack the discussion.  It would be good, as we had in the old Forum software, a way to judge how many actually read and/or have an interest in what we are posting.

 

So, changning the "0 likes" to "X reads" will be a tremendous improvement in the Forum software.

 

Thank you and God bless,

 

Bill

Unless it is already there and I just have not found out how to utilize it I would also like to suggest a feature that was available under the old structure.  That feature is the "ignore" feature.  I only used it once on the last forums but there are some people that care not to participate in any discussion but rather only post to flame conversations as a troll.  It would be nice to have the ability to ignore and therefore eliminate their post from view.

The TD (rhymes with VD) doesn't give a **** if you don't like the forum or not.  However, a percentage the profits  of every copy of VD, I mean TD, sold goes to hoopla.

I would have to agree.

I've probably saw 1 like. If possible it would be interesting to me to again see how many reads yours or someone elses post or thread has received.

Thanx,

Skippy
