An update on where things stand.

Sorry Breakage, no hassle intended, just a "wonder if" question. I appreciate it'll be way down the to do lists.

I'm still having trouble with "Reply" options. This is being submitted using the "Quick Reply" window to see how that goes

The original reason for my post got lost in the problem encountered!  I wondered if we can have likes options for posts, icons for various options as on RMWeb?  








Hey, possibly in the future - unfortunately right now, unlike RMWeb you have one single admin trying to make this all work out of pride and determination. YMRC is a community site with no commercial backing and all of the work here is me, I'm doing my best to give you guys all the same features you would get somewhere else but there's no team here, just one guy trying to build a site cause he didn't want to see it die.

And we're all very grateful breakage, thank you very much  :thumbs:

 It's a bitt odd, as in notifications in your profile there is an option 'Your content was liked', which has a tick in it   O_o

I think we should all be grateful the forum is still alive - give it a couple of weeks for Jay to sort things out as best he can, And thanks to Spurno for being our benefactor.

Totally agree, but the guys need to know what differences there are between the new and old software to see if there are issues that can be resolved, and it needs to be logged somewhere.

Not 100% sure how welll it all works right now, but I have just 'liked' this post - you should see at the top of each post a small thumbs up and down - clicking it will 'like' a post (or dislike if you're so inclined) and add a "rating" to the post in question.

I'll leave the feature in place and we'll see how it all displays and what it looks like once it gets a few votes

Alan, are you looking at your own posts? You can only 'like' other people's content.

Try refreshing the page - or going to a different thread ad back - see if that helps

I've logged in as you and I see them, try closing out your browser and reopening - suspect it's just a caching thing.

I think you are doing a fantastic job of bringing YMRC into the 21st century,s digital age.

Steady and slow is the word and a dose of patience is recommended.

We may be on the bottom of the world but we are not upside down.  :mutley
