Any opinions on the Rating thing that comes up under threads that have been liked?
It was a bit of a side effect, but it can be removed if the general concensus is that it looks like arse.

Looks much better now. Glad to be on a forum where the admin actually knows how to run the site properly. It helps that you're running phpBB, it's pretty easy to customise. Some things are a bitch though.

I think the rating thing is weird. Might be better if I could work out how it calculates it but I've tried a few things and nothing adds up. In most cases though it just seems to make all threads look like they have a very low rating.

Yeah not too much of a fan of the star system under thread titles, it makes it look messy somehow. As infernalTyrant said, it also makes the threads look like they're crap because they have a low rating, rather than better because they have a higher rating than threads that aren't rated.

Look at your car. Now back to mine. Now back to yours. Now back to mine. Sadly, yours isn't mine. But if you stopped buying dodgy cars and bought an ED, yours could be like mine. Look down. Back up.

i was confused about what you guys were talking about, i pretty much only ever click on new posts, and it doesnt show the ratings on the results.

looks cleaner without it imo.

not that it matters really.

but up the top where you can click on the top list button and it shows i guess mostliked posts?
the stuff on that page just looks kind of raw. like a bulk of writing with no formatting.

also
the list of people that have liked it still annoys me.

had to look a few times earlier before i realised who had actually made the post. beacause it had made a 2nd line of names so all blended together.

Didnt want to start a whole new thread for this so I thought I would tack it on to this thread...

But I was wondering if we could actually have a "jump to your last post" arrow next to threads where you have posted?

Now, I click on "view my posts" then all my posts come up.... At the moment you need to scroll through each page to find your post. It could be a few pages behind by the time you go back to check it if anyone has responded. On AFF, there is a little arrow that takes you to your last post..

Was wondering does boosted have this, if not can it be added?

Cheers.., :drinks2:

Because there is a little orange box that appears before the tread title, it takes you to the first unread post of a thread that you've replied in.
