A "Like" Button Would Be Nice

I'm afraid it's you at 873; me at 490; popgun a close third at 276 pages; and MTC on an even 200 pages. It's no wonder we have to be so good at searching!

Somebody thank me for this post so I can see what it looks like on thankee end.

And a forum-related question, somewhere along the way, at the bottom of each post, a grayed line with outward pointing arrows (or triangles) and a white square on the far right started appearing. What is that for?
 
so....the number of posts containing only 'Nice pic', a thumbs-up emoji, or "thanks for sharing" should be reduced, which will make scrolling through a thread quicker and easier. I don't think that the "thanks" button is absolutely necessary, but I see it as harmless and potentially useful.

Anything to be obliging!

Looks to me like it's to do with members' signatures, but you'd have to ask Guth what it's about.

Doesn't do anything when I click on them????
 
Like, I thought that "like" button on other forums was for like those who use southern California valley girl talk, like, you know?

Are you referring to the scroll bar arrows that display when a user has a multi-line signature? (Although, I don't see a white square)

Signature Line Height Display Limits
 
There ya go MTC. If you click on the little + sign in your post it tells you who thanked you.

Doesn't do anything when I click on them???? Are you talking about the scroll bars? One for for up and down and one for back and forth. Nothing happens unless scrolling is needed. Most posts don't need to. Looks like MTC posted as I was typing.
 
MTC, no, the vertical scrool bar is still there, but you sig only moves like, a pixel :)
 
With a multi-line sig too long to display, I see an elevator bar. What I'm seeing, and I see it at the end of every post, is sort of like a horizontal elevator bar, but with no function. You guys don't have that?

Where is the plus sign I am supposed to click on to see who liked a post?
 
The new plug-in was causing some issues behind the scenes so I've disabled it for the time being. Going to have to dig into this a a bit deeper.

We'll now return to our regularly scheduled, no frills programming.

I think the horizontal bar you're seeing is also a scroll bar, but other limitations that Guth placed on posts (probably something like "word wrap") prevents us from typing a long enough single line to require scrolling left and right. Then again, I could be mistaken.

Either way, I will be putting my signature line back to something normal now.
 
Some members were getting a bit too carried away with their signature lines (excessively long) so I went ahead and set a maximum height level for signatures. If your signature exceeds that height, it will "scroll" within a window in the signature area. For members with a short, simple signature it shouldn't come into play. The reason being, on some threads as you scrolled down the page it seemed like half the page or more was consumed by displaying content in signature lines.

(If you're seeing scrolling for everyone's signature, then it probably has something to do with the interaction between your browser and the forum software).
 
I'm only seeing the horizontal scroll bar FRAME all the time. I only see the vertical frame when someone has a too-long signature.
 
I'm not seeing them on my iPhone but I see them on every post on a pc

Boss, it is, of course, entirely up to you; but may I suggest you park the shovel and take the CB for a ride?

Well let's see now, temps are currently in the triple digits here in Portland. I don't enjoy riding all that much when the outdoor thermometer is registering in the 90's, let alone when it's 106℉ (our high temp for today). So I'm going to have to take a rain check on your otherwise normally excellent suggestion. :cool:
