All,

I do not know if it is just me, but I have the problem that when I reply (quote) to a post, it pops up in the small reply window in the bottom which kinda makes me lose the overview and also when I paste something in said window it automatically puts me in the bottom of my reply so I have to scroll up again to continue writing. Am I the only poor soul having this issue?

Just for information, I am using W7 and Chrome (mostly).

Cheers,
Badeskov

I have the same issue Bade, but I just click the More Reply Options button and it turns into a normally sized reply window.  I do agree that it would be better to not have to do this though.

I have to say:

This new UM is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G !! Great job Saru.

Anyone can view another member's likes on their profile page, however remember it's a person's posts that receive likes rather than the member themselves - it isn't their profile that is being liked but their contributions to the forums.

But contribution is not what people like. People click "like" for many reasons like jokes, humoristic posts,  shared view and so on. Followed thread is maybe sign of someone  contribution, although one can have quality posts but never start a thread. Its democratic but isnt sign of contribution, imo.
Lets put it this way. Saru is smart and ten others are stupid. Someone say lets make a house on water, 9 stupid agrees only Saru say: No its wrong. People votes (in this case likes) and house is built on water. Mob rules. Its okay just saying imo cant be sign of contribution.
One can be amusing and have countless likes but thats not why Im here.

I don't understand how these things AREN'T contributions. There are many ways to contribute to the site.

Well people have the right to make jokes, and people have the right to like other members' jokes if they want to, nothing wrong with that. The "like" button is there for all kind of posts, not just the serious ones, and that's a good thing. Humor has always been a huge part of UM, way for people to know each other better and a way to share feelings toward a certain topic. Nothing wrong with that.

Humor contribute to this forum by making it more enjoyable, making friend, in other words building this community.

Nothing wrong with humor personally I like it just I can join in any other forum and have fun. Im not saying that humor isnt welcome here. But likes imo dont mean anything. There are people with poor social skills and with high IQ and brilliant mind.

[the L]

Its a sign of good social skills. Im sure that some people wich I think are PR in real life here will have countless likes. Anyway, just my thought.

I simply don't understand your objections. What you seem to be saying is that because some people will make more popular posts they will receive more likes. But isn't that the point?

If a member makes posts which a lot of people agree with, or enjoy what is the problem? The alternative is people making posts which just say "I agree" Surely the "like" option is an improvement on that.

Having said that, no one can force you to like the "like" system. My advice would be if you don't like it, simply ignore it.

No mister, I like like button. Im saying that in my opinion it isnt sign of contribution to the site. Its sign of great social skills. One could have great posts and not being noticed by mass.

hello again. I'm sorry to be a nuisance, but there still seems to be a loading problem in that you can reply to a post, and having typed it all out and you click 'Post', those three little squares at the top'll go back and forth, but it won't seem to load, or if it does, it'll be very very slow. is this just a problem with my particular Browser, or is it just slow loading time?

Sounds like you just happened to be posting during a moment when the server was experiencing a high load.

[Colonel Rhuairidh]

Well, i'm afraid it's still not working properly. You click 'Post' it says 'Saving post', but it doesn't do anything else, it just goes round & round in limbo.

[Saru]

When does it do that ? Every time you try to make a post ?

Same here.
