I dunno - that's actually handy: you can tell at a glance if people like it because it's green, you don't have to open it to check a "reactions count"

I've hardwired it to go green for 10 thumbs-up. I will probably add grey for 10 thumbs down. Further, I can move the reaction count summary to be on the subject line when the counts are high enough to warrant that.

Doesn't that just bring back the old problem for which downvoting was removed from the Lounge a long time ago?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I spontaneously like the "Correct" and "Incorrect" ones.
But please change the heart to a rose, there's a slim chance I will declare my never ending love to someone in the forum. 
I'm also not very fond of having a constant smiley on the left side of every post, like as if every post is a joke. I don't have a better suggestion though.

Yeah - I'm still playing with the emojis. Literally any Unicode emoji you think is appropriate can go there. A string is a string...
The smiley on the side? Yeah. I'm using an emoji there but I think a custom image will have to do instead.

Much better thank you very much!
Just some food for thought, should it be possible to mark more than one reaction?
Not all are mutually exclusive.

Yeah, it's possible, but for now we're making it a one-shot wonder.

What about the usual, simple and plain "..." (dot dot dot) to say, here there are more options?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Only I have no idea what it does, or how I might access it ... any hints?

A minor problem, depending on how good our eyesight is. Have a look at the lower right of your post immediately above. The superscript "1" makes the thumbsup look like a rather less desirable emoji.

Here again, why you don't delete/close the whole thread and not only my initial one?
Ok, I think I better leave this forum...

Once you have an answer to a forum message you should not close it. It just leaves everyone wondering what your query was.

ONCE AGAIN! HOW I CAN DELETE AN ANSWERED THREAD??????
DO YOU RECOGNIZE IT CAN'T BE ME WHO DELETED/CLOSED IT?
I give up, better to leave for me.

No need to shout.
Did you delete your original post or did someone else delete it? (I could dig in but it's still too early on a Sunday morning for this  )
cheers

Simple: Do not close messages that have been responded to, it just confuses people.
|
|
|
|
|
Only for you again: IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO CLOSE AN ANSWERED THREAD OTHER THAN STAFF AND WHO EVER STAFF ALLOWS IT.
|
|
|
|
|
Please stop shouting and explain what you mean.
