Forum redesign question - post and thanks counts

Former_MSE_Andrea

Hi everyone

We want to know how important you feel it is to have the post and thanks counts next to every post you make on the forum.

Could you let us know your thoughts in the poll and below?

Thanks!

I've voted yes because I often look at the post count of a member and I like the thanks count too.

I know that it (the thanks count) has been the subject of many a heated debate;) but I hope they can both stay.

The saying goes, if it ain't broke..........why fix it?;)

Yes

I like the post count - it tells me whether the person is a long-standing member or a relative newbie (or AE )

Thanks count? Don't know. I like being able to thank a post, but I wouldn't say that I'm bothered about seeing a person's thanks count below their name.

No

I like the post count as it helps show how many contributions the member has posted throughout their membership.

The Thanks count doesnt bother me at all to be honest. Some great posts get next to nothing in the way of thanks and some not so great posts get copious amounts of thanks so I think the Thanks are irrelevant.

Keep the post count but ditch the thanks.

Keep the Avatar, Join Date, Location and 'Posts' count.

Ditch everything else down the LHS - the 3 lines of alliterative description, medals, badges and 'thanks' count.

Oh, and keep some way of indicating online/offline - but preferably something that actually says that (e.g. a simplified version of the 'hover' info), rather than the red/green button.

agree with keeping the post count, not so fussed about the thanks

Pretty much this.
