Forum redesign question - post and thanks counts

meher

No

the title, appellation, sobriquet etc along with the stars is good; i don't see the point in post count at all or a case that i'm probably missing something

as for whether all these statistics look aesthetic, it is probably a personal thing, that's why i feel that it should have the option to turn it off if it is all getting overwhelming

... in some cases people have had Pm's saying that they usually post that competition & you are stealing my thanks & post count.

It has also led to people pming other members to ask them why they have not thanked them for posting a competition which is awful.

may be their thanks should be substituted and given hugs instead

Wow! I didn't realise just how the way thanks are used for other purposes in some sections could inflate thanks counts to that degree. Perhaps also some demonstration that there's a use for some special feature in those sections to help people track what they are doing.
