Good morning Ernie, The decision for the like button comes from the tippy top, and its for good reasons that affect this business as whole. Quote:
I haven't seen cluttered threads, but I guess we will see how it plays out over time. noted Quote:
I'm not a liberty to explain the matters in detail, but it was decided by the owners to go this route. As time goes on and my admin powers are finalized, I do hope to work with Badger in cleaning things up and making changes that will positively effect RCC as whole | |||||

Thanks for your efforts. Whether the masses view any specific decisions as right, wrong, or otherwise, having somebody involved who genuinely cares and is actively working to improve things will absolutely lead to a better forum.

Just having members doesnt generate income - anyone can hire a click farm and pad their site stats. Any forum owner knows this, its not about stats its about clicks, interaction and time spent on a page. Not how many pages you visit inside 3 minutes. Quote:

Your saying makes sense but when you flip it around the Like button was your moneky bars. Thousands and thousands of monkey bars with people hanging from them. Heres the kicker though ... they werent interacting with each other. Now what makes you want to come back to the park with the most moneky bars around? Just my humble opinion as a forum owner for many years on many sites. Keep doing what you're doing Mike - its appreciated by many even if they cant Like your posts | ||||

Ok Mike, I understand the why, I think a lot of the push back is because (the nature of the beast we are) we don't like to deal with change weather it's for good or bad. It moves us out of our comfort zone. I guess I'll just have to wait and see where this is all going. I get the feeling there are things going on behind the scenes that for some reason are not being shared with us yet! We just need to remember that for the most part change is usually good but that doesn't mean we are going to be happy with it. Being the old geezer I am I don't speak as eloquent as some but I think you get the jest of what I'm trying to say. Ernie Last edited by CODYBOY; 03-19-2019 at 09:21 AM. | |

I'm just honestly surprised this was priority 1 when the home page still talks about AXIALFEST2017!!!!!! FFS. When paying to be a member youd think the home page would have some updates..... Improve something without removing a feature. And silence the detractors..ie me

It was a priority because this place is technically business and while I'm not going to get into the details as to how it was negatively effecting it, it was. The home page is on the list. Again, not all changes will be taking effect immediately. The home page will also require assistance from Badger | |

The reason people say rcc is dead is because of the home page. We don't visit it because it's had the same shit for over two years on it. If it had current vendor links, current topics, events etc I'd go to it and Everytime someone new searched for the site they wouldnt see stuff from 2017. If you don't want the homepage then axe it and redirect to the forum home. The homepage tells anyone who hasn't registered all they need to know about this site..... Mike thanks for taking the reigns to make it better but let's improve features we have. As a site supporter it's hard to justify renewal when features are removed and improvements/updates are not implemented. Removing the like button was premature imo. At least put a notification at the top for thread responses or quoted posts. Removing the like button has made it more difficult to interact in threads because you are not notified any longer. That sucks Last edited by odomandr; 03-20-2019 at 06:48 AM. |

Actually if you go to the top of the page and click on the "thread tool" drop down menu, you’ll be able to subscrib to the thread, then you can get notifications of new posts via email.

| Re: "Like" Button Because my phone and photobucket refuse to do anything but bicker back and forth. They won't communicate so I can never log in and I'll be fawking damned if I'm going to start another photo hosting account somewhere else.

| Re: "Like" Button Ah. I've moved on from Flickr to Imgur and I also don't post photos from mobile because Imgur linking sucks on the mobile website and in their app. You can embed or link full-size photos and that's it. I wish this forum would resize photos automatically - hopefully one day it will - so I didn't have to bother with that. On desktop Imgur happily allows you to choose different size images to embed. It's 2019. It shouldn't be sofa king hard to link to an image.
