Cliff Ton 10,464 Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Some time during this morning (Monday 14th) the style and appearance of some aspects of the site have changed. I assume there has been some kind of software update happening in the background. This means there may be glitches and headaches when people try to do something which has changed since the last time they did it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 I am a bit puzzled about the difference between "react" and "like". Separation of these seems to be new and is perhaps a move towards Facebook style. I have used "like" as "react" could be bad? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roger peatman 337 Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 The new update will allow various "reactions" - for example: Like - Thanks - Ha Ha - Confused - depends on the admin to turn them on or off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 This site is still not the quickest tho, update or not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 It doesn't appear to show whether a person is online or not, as I got a little green dot previously. Anything I'm missing ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,464 Posted August 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Initially I can see a Heart symbol if I want to "Like" something - And if someone has "Liked" a post I see this, where the terminology changes to "reacted". At least it gets rid of that stupid expression of "Gave reputation". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 I meant when looking within topic, it doesn't show who's online. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anything I'm missing ! I don't see that either. And another point which will be even more annoying, it doesn't show the number of a post within the thread, which will make it difficult to refer to a previous post without using the Quote feature.
