By popular demand, and because we think it will make the forum even more interactive, we have added a feature called "Post Rating". This allows you to say more than "Like" on a post. We want everyone to keep this on the positive side, but there is a "Dislike" button that rate "neutral" for those occasions when someone posts that they are on the water and you are shovelling snow....or a similar sort of feeling....but please don't over use this or use it if you simply disagree with someone.

We also may add a "Spam" rating, which if you see spam you could click on....but this is still a work in progress.

This addon should continue to make the experience here even more fun.

Rate away!!!!

Below are the currently available post ratings (Aka reactions). We just added "Wow" and "confused".

How to use....just click on the like button for a simple "like" or press and hold on touch devices to open up the list of other options. Non touch devices should open up that list when you hover your mouse over it.

Cool, thanks @Julian. I can see where most of these rating icons could be used but what the hell does the rainbow mean?

You can press each one to read what it is then press undo.

If you are on a device with a mouse, you can point at the icon and it will tell you what it is. But many of us use tablets...so here is a screen shot of the list (Disagree is disabled):image.jpg

@sstegh What is the rainbow? "Optimistic"...probably not one of the top used ones....

You're right, I'm using a tablet and don't have the "hover" option without a mouse. I figured out the General meaning of the others but the rainbow had me stumped, optimistic makes sense. Thanks for the screen shot,

Rainbow = optimistic? Really?

So everytime I see a freakin Prius with a rainbow on its window - I can say - there's an optimistic dude! :)

And for those moments when I'm shoveling 4' of snow off my roof and 1 of our southerners here posts a beautiful picture and boasts about there chilly 70 degree day - I want more than a dislike - I want a big FU. A big respectful FU of course!

Yeah....we covered the big ole double FU in another thread....LOL! Probably not going to offer that one....but if someone has another rating they would like have...post it up!

The rating feature also allows for quick polls within a thread....Thumbs up or thumbs down?

@octavio3311, The rainbow would serve well as an "optimistic" and respectful FU. We just won't tell anybody...

Haha! @Murf'n'surf just gave me the freakin rainbow!!!! That's funny! Well played! :p
And he was 1 of those southerners I could've used the dislike rating for. I would've preferred the FU button.

@Murf'n'surf - I really got a laugh out of that. I'm sitting here in bed and I saw my rainbow and said "that motherf---er". My wife says "who, what happenned"

Lol. Just being optimistic that the sun will return to the North so you guys can have at least 12.5 days of boating weather! In all honesty, I feel for you guys. I've lived in the frozen dead zone and can remember how long winter can get.

Bikinis are coming don't worry!

This winter has been a BITCH. The coldest February in Ct history. And the snow hasn't stopped! Cleaning the driveway is 1 thing - but when you have to shovel 4'-5' off the roof. It F'n SUCKS!
And to make matters worse - 1) I dropped the damn shovel off the roof. And 2) ran out of beer
