Is it possible to add a +1 button?

There aren’t that many people on this forum so that threads would be overrun by such comments.

More egregious things regarding clutter and readability are inception quotations, sometimes people continue quoting until there are like 6, or even more quotations in quotations, with pictures… it’s bad enough on PC but terrible on mobile.

Some forums software have limits for how many quotations there can be, and they also automatically delete picture tags in quotations to only leave the picture links.

I think if this feature was added you would see far more upvotes/awards than you see thank-you comments now. I have a feeling that a lot of people want to express thanks but avoid posting to threads they are not initially involved in out of courtesy.

The positive feedback could help members who contribute a lot of useful information to feel appreciated. This should encourage more high-quality posts. Careful implementation of this feature would be key. For example, you could hide the exact count of “likes” or awards to avoid high-score mentality.

Edit: Started writing this before you updated your post. I agree that quotes are a space problem. Quotes should probably link back to the original post after a certain number of “nests”

Thanks, that’s the term I was looking for.

We do have a nesting limit in place, it’s currently at 5. Last time I checked it was working.

Test 0.

Test 1.

Test 2.

Test 3.

Test 4.

Test 5.

Test 6. Looks like it’s working, see the Snip in the middle?

Total agreement with that

Damn, I was caught in the act of exaggeration :blush:
OK, but I think that it’s still too much.

Yes that’s possible.

I attempted to like the first post...

Maybe a comment rating system could be one-sided, like youtube. They show only upvotes.

OK, I can reduce it. Maybe to 3?

Yep, that’s what I’m thinking too. The technical implementation might be very challenging though, that’s why I haven’t definitively committed to implementing it yet.

How about a "x1" button?

That way you don't add one or subtract one--you can only multiply by one.

:smiley: We do have an x0 button though, it’s labelled Report. :innocent:

Is it possible to adjust the amount of padding given to quotes? Even those tiny quotes you nested take up tons of space relative to how much text is actually present.

Sorry for replying to the wrong post. Didn’t want to quote that gigantic nest haha

I don’t really want to become more like Reddit.

Please don’t turn this forum into yet another social media platform

You don’t need to please everyone for your opinion to be valid. It’s a flashlight forum where political discussions are not allowed.
