• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Dislike this post??

So, if you 'Dislike' it today, will it show up as a 'Me Too' in a few days?

Sounds like a politician!
 
i don't know about the rest of the people on the forum, but i would never dislike a post unless it is a out right attack on another member, otherwise people could post whatever they want, if i don't enjoy the post i just move on
Right on!
 
It appears to have happened last night about 6:00 my time. Was not able to come onto the SL site. A page with computer programming stuff showed and the header page with a message that the site was not accepting cookies.

This AM, I noticed the "dislike the post" button was back. Several of us mentioned this way back when, and soon the "Me Too" button appeared instead of.

I do hope that previous "Me Toos" do not get changed to "Dislike." I have used the Me Too button a lot, and the change over will surely convey a wrong meaning on my part.

I prefer that we do not have a "dislike" button. Also agree with many of the reasons posted above. Personally, if I dislike a thread or a post, I just say nothing. No reason to start something up over something that is usually trivial.

Waiting to see if the Admin does anything. :bbq::bbq::bbq:
 
I Think

that this happened once before with a software upgrade/update and Lamont had to change it.:yikes:

Don't get your hopes up too high. They all changed. nojoke

In order to check them click on your name, select profile, then look at posts thanks / likes and see how many dislikes appear before today.

Thanks for the information.

I am not going to worry about something over which I have no control. If it causes a "fight," which I doubt will happen, I have a pretty good excuse, since I have never used a dislike button when it actually was available.
 
there is one thing i can see the dislike option doing, lets say your a person like me that posts some stuff that others don't care for. so if you get a dislike than that gives the poster the chance to delete the post so no one else doesn't dislike it. if i get a negative reply to a post and i think the person has a good opinion and reason to not like my post i will delete it.
 
Cuzn...

Post what you like, and hope that it's filling a need. :thumbup:
:lecturef_smilie: But remember...



I would personally only hit that button to express dislike over a personal attack.
I may not like what somebody has to say; it's still their right to say it.
(Until Lamonster bites them... :shocked:)
 
It happened once before a few months back....soon disappeared.

Seems to happen when some techie tweaking is goin' on.
My guess is that there was an update to the forum software supplied by the vendor. The "Dislike" option is probably a default that got reset, probably due to an oversight in the update patches, and Lamont hasn't changed it back yet. This software is used by many forum sites. There are MANY options that the forum administrator has control over. (For example, the option to allow users to delete messages after a few minutes is usually NOT turned on in most forums that use this same software.)
