Hey, thanks for some updates, appreciated on this forum !
I like the new possibilities to see our posts upvoted and the threads we upvoted. It’s a kind of temporary replacement to keep an eye on some threads.
Only it’s a shame we still have no “view all threads started by this user” in user’s profile and “mark all threads as read” button
But still nice additions

It is a bit misleading. Even in the grey button, it is still “+1”, if someone click on it again, it actualy “down vote” the post,. It shuld be changed to “-1” to make it clear, that clicking on the grey botton remove the “+1” Vote from that post.

It is a 404 error in the member page.

In the Breadcrumb the last link (Posts Upvoted) is going to:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/members/[Memeber]/posts
but this page is a 404

I welcome these adjustments. I think it will cause many to stop and consider what they post, before they post it. Some fine ideas may result!

Still no timestamps anywhere where they are needed.

I still find it one of the most frustrating aspects of this forum that you have to click on each thread individually to learn when it was last updated. (Well, this, and the fact that you can still not “jump to first dev post” from the OP of a thread.)

But anyways, please keep on upgrading the forum.

Still no way to search for something beyond the first page of results?

This is actually somewhat confusing and I hope you can clear something up for me.

When someone posts something, it shows their post as a red +1. Does this mean i ave already +1ed it regardless of if I think it is worthy? And when I click the red +1 it turns grey, does this mean I disapprove and the user should feel ashamed?

Red means you haven’t pushed the button, gray means you have pushed the button. If you push the button while it’s gray, it removes your vote.

As a part time software tester, I have to admit that that’s really counterintuitive Changing it into -1 also wouldn’t be optimal though, as it may be confusing people about the current state.

Under “View highly rated posts by …” is there any system behind the order of my highly rated posts?
Right now it seems a little chaotic for me and it would be great if there could be a chronological order that shows my last highly rated posts at the top. Is there any setting where I can adjust that?

Any improvements coming to the search function? I look for something and it says 348 results, yet I am only shown around about 20, I think. Also, the auto search is very annoying. I would like to be able to type in what I want to search for and then hit “search” rather than it looking on it’s own but not looking for what I want because my button stuck and doubled the letters or I just hit the wrong one and then I have to retype the whole thing. Very annoying.

Edit: My bad. Also, thank you for these very minor improvements. What? You didn’t think I’d want more? haha.

I really totally not understand this message… I went to the forum to seek something and my eye was drawn by this message as it seems to explain something to the users (me?); but I do not understand it at all. What is the +1 system and how is it better now?? completely blanc…
