I love the up/down vote idea, works so well on many forums and places like Reddit and encourages positive contributions.
Love we're getting new emojis (please allow rolleyes to return)! Love also we're getting notifications upgrades and working search. Embedded media will be good sparingly as well. People will be able to post graphs and such to posts. When will the upgrade happen I wonder? I am hoping it's InvisionPower the forums will be run on as that's very good, fast software. |

Will the posts made in General Discussion (and Chatter!) now go towards our post count, as I'm still annoyed that I lost 2000+ posts when our thread moved

It can all get very petty, very quickly. Positive contributions, you say?

Tiny the emoji is unfortunately quite old and is on his way out. It would be cruel to keep him going.![]() (don't tell me is going too?)

DS mods can I ask two things:
- Will this be before Christmas? - What is the new software you've opted for? I am so excited. |

I disagree with your first sentence, so for that reason I dislike your post, so I'm down voting it.

Regarding username changes for those who have spaces, I am one of those poor souls. Will our usernames be automatically changed to remove spaces or, how will that work? I don't think usernames with 2 characters were allowed before, could my username become "JJ" in the new system? I hope it is soon. Before Christmas would be great but it may be too soon. If not, hopefully soon into the new year. Been waiting for this day for so long! |

Another thought - will existing emojis still show on old posts but with new styles? or will they all be lost?

Don't like the burying posts idea. Open to abuse and it'll disrupt the flow of trying to follow all the sides of a debate in a thread when half the posts have been buried in it.
Quote:
You are assuming that enough people will dislike a post for it to be buried. We're not sure how much the system will be used, if at all, so only time will tell. We don't think you will see a buried post as often as you are expecting. A 'downvote' is countered by an 'upvote' so just because one person dislikes a post does not mean it will buried. The reaction feature will be an ecosystem that is controlled by our forum members.

![]() Why does post count matter? Do you get a gold medal if you go over a certain number? (checks post count... )

Some of my initial thoughts/suggestions
-However positive an idea you think it might be, the reactions addition has got 'disaster' written all over it and should be reconsidered. Burying posts will be open to a lot of abuse. -Please give us an option to have media displayed as links like it is now. Seeing DS clogged up with pics and videos like FB and Twitter is...nope, not keen. -New colour scheme...please make it better than this horrible beige/grey style. A return to the old white/blue would be perfect. -New emotes...not thrilled as I love the current ones, but at the very least can we keep ?

I'm sure that pro religion posts will be buried ASAP by the majority.

I think people underestimate how many positive people lurk on here.
I think the up/down system will actually bring more positivity to the forums, rather than the other way round. A lot of the doom and gloom comes from moaning minnies, whereas positive people are less inclined to write (I think!) |
