In response to "Quick question: does anyone care about the (replies) number beside each post, or could I move it into the IM? -- nm" by Beryllium

the reason I ask ...

Posted by Beryllium (aka grayman) Sep 14 '12, 10:09

... I could flip it around so the (#) becomes the number of people who "favourite" the post ...

Responses:

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
