I guess or so I am told . sigh but yes the forum has them So you're saying that the on old forum where you could tell at a glance on the forum page (instead of leaving and going to another site to tell), that was a waste of time? Well, congrats. You no longer will waste time by looking on the forum page to see which threads you've posted in. Instead you can leave that page and go somewhere else, which takes more time for me but I'm glad it's faster and not a waste of time for you. And yes, signatures do not work. If you had wanted to check before saying they did you could have gone to signature settings on the preferences page, clicked on that and seen the denial.

Rikkagin.9472 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Can we please have thread show as grey, when read, like the old forum, so I can see at a glance unread threads. I am often not sure when reading the title if I have read a thread, since I don't live on the forums. When a thread has new posts it was immediately obvious.

ArenaNet Staff Gaile Gray.6029 Posted September 19, 2017 Author ArenaNet Staff Share Posted September 19, 2017 During a one-week review, we noticed a consistent piece of advice -- backed by very sound reasoning -- that we have acted on today: * We have removed the "Thumbs Down" option in our Reaction System Please feel free to use the "Thumbs Up" and "Helpful" reactions, as you desire. And of course, you are welcome to share your feedback and opinions in constructive forum posts, as well. Thanks for your feedback on this subject. I'm continuing to collect feedback on a multitude of subjects and will be sharing it with the larger team later this week and into the future, as other thoughts are shared on this subject.

ArenaNet Staff Gaile Gray.6029 Posted September 19, 2017 Author ArenaNet Staff Share Posted September 19, 2017 We will be leaving the remaining reactions in place. They are intended to allow players to express their thoughts on other posts without feeling that they must expound on them. It also allows them to enhance their comments with a suitable reaction. For example: * Read a post and find it useful? You can flag it as "Helpful" and you're good, **_or_** post in response, as you desire. Or both! The reaction system gives you more flexibility. * Like the effort that someone put into their post, but don't really have an opinion about the content? (For example, maybe it's a very detailed essay on a profession about which you're not proficient.) You can click "Thumbs up" to show your support for their effort. * Notice a link to a great piece of art, but don't have anything new to say on the subject? Click "Thumbs up" to recognize the artist without posting a "+1 post." The "Thumbs Down" reaction wasn't of value. The "Thumbs Up" and "Helpful" will remain in place for those who choose to use them. If you do not care to engage in the Reaction System, please feel free to completely ignore it and go about your normal forum business. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Would it be possible to add an 'Insightful' reaction? I believe it's one of the standard ones offered by Vanilla forums but I'm not completely sure. I've frequently come across posts which I find interesting and informative but where the existing reactions don't quite fit. It's not something I could agree or disagree with so thumbs up doesn't seem right, and it's not exactly helpful so much as...well, insightful. For example when some Anet staff talked about ways playing with their kids has influenced things they added to the game, or when players explain the rationale behind some people saying you need ascended armour when others day exotic is fine.

ArenaNet Staff Gaile Gray.6029 Posted September 19, 2017 Author ArenaNet Staff Share Posted September 19, 2017 I actually thought about going with "Insightful" in the early days. But some argued that "Insightful" and "Helpful" would have a lot of cross-over, and a "Thumbs Up" can capture the same emotion, which leaves us with a clearer system. Frankly, I think "Helpful" is the best of all, and believe that having something one posts appraised in that way is a very positive thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can flag it as "Helpful" and you're good, **_or_** post in response, as you desire. Or both! The reaction system gives you more flexibility." It does not give flexibility. It's just pointless. It doesn't mean a post is helpful because it has helpful tag. Read the post and you will know if it's helpful to you or not. >* Like the effort that someone put into their post, but don't really have an opinion about the content? (For example, maybe it's a very detailed essay on a profession about which you're not proficient.) You can click "Thumbs up" to show your support for their effort. What if you disagree but don't want to repeat what have already said? Just write -1 to show my disagreement and move on? >The "Thumbs Down" reaction wasn't of value. It was of value because of the thumbs up. Now the thumbs up is of no value because the thumbs down is gone. Keep both or remove both. I vote to remove both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArenaNet Staff Gaile Gray.6029 Posted September 19, 2017 Author ArenaNet Staff Share Posted September 19, 2017 Everything is subjective. No one can or should make a judgment that's intended to apply, unilaterally, to every single post for each individual. But when I see a thread had 30 "Helpful" nods, I'm going to pay attention. That tells me that *other forum members* have found it helpful, which in turn tells me that *I may find it helpful, too.* Naturally, obviously, one needs to read a thread to appraise it's helpfulness to them. But "Helpful" overall is... helpful to a forum. Which is why it is in place, and why it'll stay around. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Einlanzer.1627 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 There's a reason thumb's up deserves to stay while thumb's down doesn't, and it's very simple: it's easy to agree with an idea without contributing additional thoughts to it, and doing so is a positive action that helps draw attention to the topic. But, common courtesy should suggest that disagreement should be more thoughtful. If you're unable to come up with reasons why you actually disagree with something, the most proper course of action is to just avoid engaging on the topic. If you come up with reasons, post them in a constructive way. Additionally, having only a positive reaction helps to avoid the problem of alliance-forming that we see in polarized camps; i.e. American politics, which tends to entrench people in emotional bubbles and undermines rational discussion on the topic.

(For example, maybe it's a very detailed essay on a profession about which you're not proficient.) You can click "Thumbs up" to show your support for their effort. For these reasons, I found the "Thumbs Down" button of *more* value than the other two. It allowed me to express disagreement with a post without having to expound on it, which IS a very valuable function to have. It allows readers to "vote" on a given concept. There is no benefit to having a "pro" vote without an equal opportunity for a "con" vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
