the reason I ask ... - Beryllium Sep 14, 10:09 23
- Leave it. -- nm - Mobile Spawn Sep 14, 10:22
- I'd leave the favorited number off the page -- nm - prayformojo Sep 14, 10:15
- GIVE US BOTH, DAMMIT! -- nm - ty97 Sep 14, 10:12
- We can favorite posts? -- nm - spamlet Sep 14, 10:11 5
  - I haven't figure out how unfavorite them though. I haven't looked that hard though. -- nm - sycor Sep 14, 10:14 1
    - nevermind. After taking a few seconds to look it's pretty obvious. Derp. -- nm - sycor Sep 14, 10:15
  - It's next to the nsfw button -- nm - nubby Sep 14, 10:12 1
    - I seriously never noticed it until he just said it. - spamlet Sep 14, 10:14
  - *searches for "dislike" button* -- nm - Roger More Sep 14, 10:12
- How many posts (on average per board) would get favourited? -- nm - Roger More Sep 14, 10:10 5
  - I am guessing it would morph into a Facebook Like Button functionality if the number was next to the post. -- nm - ty97 Sep 14, 10:13 4
    - People don't favorite now because...why bother? That would change with this change. -- nm - ty97 Sep 14, 10:14 3
      - If we changed to this system, it would be good to have a "most favourited posts of the day/week/month" etc list - Roger More Sep 14, 10:17
      - Right, right now the only effect is that things get thrown onto the Board Stats page that no one looks at -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 10:17 1
        
        I'm worried about the whole popularily-contest angle of favoriting, though -- nm - prayformojo Sep 14, 10:21
- So then I ask... Does anyone "Favourite" a post? - Mop (198 lbs) Sep 14, 10:10 7
  - Your Stats. (I tend to favourite posts with links I plan to check out later, not actual favourites) -- nm - Roger More Sep 14, 10:11 6
    - I tend to open the post in another tab and it sits around for weeks before I close the tab -- nm - zork Sep 14, 10:21 2
      - I've been doing this a lot lately. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 10:26 1
        
        (With tech articles, not ST posts) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 10:26
    - Generally, I just reply with a keyword I know I'll search for later. That's right, b*tches! - Mop (198 lbs) Sep 14, 10:16 2
      - I just use Instapaper like I do for the rest of the web. -- nm - spamlet Sep 14, 10:18
      - No, you be smokin' hash and then tagging -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 10:17
I rarely notice it. The indenting of the thread is what tells me if there's been a reply. -- nm - Mop on Mac Pro Sep 14, 10:05
I care very much. -- nm - nubby Sep 14, 10:04
I like it. -- nm - Shaun Sep 14, 10:03
*storms Canadian embassy* -- nm - protesters Sep 14, 10:00
I wouldn't miss it - znufrii Sep 14, 10:00 1
- nad maybe some cricket chirps when OAE posts? nm -- nm - groiny Sep 14, 10:01
I like it on the outside -- let's me know if something has changed in a thread very easily. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 14, 09:59
It helps as a quick gauge of new responses in large threads so I like it. - ty97 Sep 14, 09:59
Leave it. I totally dig the daily reminder of how nobody ever responds to a freaking thing that I say here. - prayformojo Sep 14, 09:58 1
- open the box - zork Sep 14, 10:02
I never notice them. -- nm - Krusty Sep 14, 09:58
I don't care -- nm - Luke Skywalker Sep 14, 09:57
JUST FUCKING LEAVE THE SHIT ALONE, MAN!!!!!! - groiny Sep 14, 09:57
I care. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 14, 09:57
