Thumbs Up/Down

That's exactly my point. The introduction of a thumbs down graphic is confusing, providing the potential to think 'How the hell did I manage to give him/her a thumb down?'

Even if you are unliking a post, and you want the thumb to symbolise a functionality of a link rather than a current rating of a post, a thumb down graphic is misleading as it suggests you are giving it a thumbs down (dislike) rather than simply returning it to a neutral rating.

The Daily Mail website has it sussed with its hollowed green arrows (and filled in green arrow for when you've rated a post yourself):

But Bozza didn't design this modification, if you think it could be done better go and find the person who made the modification and suggest the changes to him, there is nothing anyone here can do about it.

Surely the thumb down graphic is just a picture stored on NSC's server somewhere?

So you seemingly AGREED with the RIDICULOUS suugestion, that nobody "should EVER wait for an ambulance" and should instead always "drive them to hospital in your car"?

To be honest, I clicked any old post! I wasn't going to wade through all the crap posted on the Daily Mail comments section to find the one in thousand that wasn't foaming at the mouth.

Does the colour really matter FFS I've read through the last 3 pages (on tapatalk ) and there is an in depth debate going on about the colour of the thumbs up / down facility!

Can you consider getting rid of it entirely? Can't see that it adds anything whatsoever to the board.

Bozza has promised a poll on yes/no or yes with some tinkering. Personally I think its a waste of time and best to disable your "Thumbs " notifications until the scheme is abandoned.

I would give you a friendly thumbs down for this comment if I could, but I have been forced to post my disagreement.

And that's exactly the way I prefer it. Granted, I may be in the minority but it's worth a poll isn't it?

I have only just noticed a subtle change to just a " Thumbs up " option on posts , that should make things better.

Most people claim they don't care about thumbs up/down. If that's the case why not just add the thumbs down button back in for those of us that like to vent by pressing a small red button?

I'm getting far too many thumbs up lately. It's bad for my image.

What ever you do don't post of photo of Calde doing Calde type stuff.

There's nothing that bloke can't cure, your bad boy image will take a hammering.
