The Wright Stuff Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Posted by Martyn K on 23/10/2017 09:37:28: The problem with posting a thumbs up (as seen at the top of this thread) is that subscribers get a mail saying - Thumbs up - which can be rather infuriating as it adds no value. I think what we are trying to get to is an acknowledgement that a post is helpful - useful for the author and provides encouragement to continue.. Martyn. I'm tending to agree with the mods on this one. Surely the proof of the pudding is the viewing figure, which is prominently displayed and totally objective?

In principle, yes, but I can't believe for one minute that bots and search engines account for any significant proportion in reality. No idea? I would say it gives you a very good idea of how many people are following. What do you want, one part in a thousand precision? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Jones Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Sorry to disagree, I think this is a lot noise about nothing very important. So far as I'm concerned this forum does what it's suppose to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a decision would not be up to the mod team nor would the mod team have to implement it so it really makes no difference to us either way.... I simply see no point in having one & nothing in the thread has come close to convincing me..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
