Search function, warnings, likes

[essentialsaltes]

#1 The search function still appears to be wonky. It works very nicely for 'search this thread', but more general searches seem to be missing anything post 2007.

#2 Not that I'll ever need it, um, but adding the Active Warnings count to the profile is a great addition.

#3 Others have alluded to the 'likes'. I think the former choices allowed more flexibility. 'Informative' is particularly useful. There's a new story about a bomb dropping accidentally in Poland. I certainly don't want to Like that, though I suppose I can be angry or sad about it.

I wonder also if the 'Angry' reaction might lead to goading or accusations of goading. The former set had the advantage of all being fairly positive reactions.

I think the 'Reaction score' now only counts literal likes, so that the number is very different (and lower) than it used to be. My fragile ego was so happy when my 'reaction score' surpassed my posting total. And now it's gone! It's called a score, and my score went down. Waaah!

If I were going to pretend this wasn't all about me.... that was also useful as a proxy for judging poster credibility. Do they have a ratio over 1?

Anyway, even if the old set of reactions is not restored, it would be nice if the displayed score was one-time-only brought up to match the 'legacy' score.

#4 Agree with others that showing at least more of the profile info on the standard post view would be better. Oh, looks like it's already been done.

Thank you for all the detailed feedback, let me see what we can do about these. I'm pretty sure we can add "informative" and maybe I'll make a post to decide on the emoji for that one

I'm able to find posts back to 2005

#1-4

#5 Love the idea of the 'is there already a post about this?' when creating new threads.

I find the search function doesn't work at all when I search for a parameter under my member name.

You mean like this?

Just as an example, this search is for 2022 election everywhere. there is one hit from a thread I just created earlier today, and 5 more hits all from 2005 or earlier.

 

[sjastro]

You mean like this?

Exactly.
When I search for the word "The" under my name I get a "No results found" message.

 

[doughtz]

Thanks! Will look into this!

I find myself missing the feedback that existed in addition to like, particularly the prayers.

Otherwise I am liking this upgrade.

Prayer reaction will be an easy add

I remember the last upgrade when everyone wasn’t sure they liked the additional reactions (like, prayer, laugh, friendly). Now I miss having them!

 

[linux.poet]

I miss the "Agree" reaction in particular.

I'm not seeing that anywhere.

I'm not seeing that anywhere.

Under your own profile if you click on Your Account, there will be a warnings heading to click upon.

Emjoys for "winner" and "agree" meant more or less the same thing as "like." But now the previous counts for these reactions have not been considered with the "likes," causing a significant reduction in positive feedback.

The 2nd question is what is "wow" intended to be used for?

I've been a member for over 3 years. How long does it take to not be considered a "new member"?

Where is my newsfeed?

Edit: What is the bookmark for?

I wasn't finding it on my phone, but I found it using a computer.

Hey, some of us are prone to liking posts but that doesn't mean we have no credibility, just that we are extra affable.

 

[linux.poet]

Emjoys for "winner" and "agree" meant more or less the same thing as "like."

I disagree with this. Emotional affinity (like) is not the same as intellectual assent (agree).
