    Question The new "star" button - a thread to play/test in...

    Is the forum changing? Did it have a beauty appointment ? Or I am just losing my minds?

    These things are new or they always were there ?

    PS. I know its not really a game question and its kind of off topic ... thats why I was wondering ... what if we have an off topic thread on here?
    I know it is one on the S8 general forum, but it might be more handy in this section, just for CS players waiting for collections haha




    Hi all, here's some info about this button SW

Elsa has added it (probably only temporarily) as well as the date change format. We're just testing some new features.

    So, what happens is you click on the star you can add a comment about the post - I tested it on someone here (can't rememember who! sorry!) and left an "I approve". It's adds a green box next to your name. The more other players click on the "I approve" button, the more green boxes you get. If you want to test it, use posts here in this thread . I couldn't find where I can see the comments you can also leave, but maybe that feature is still turned off. Not sure. It's an interesting button, but not sure it has value here. What I was looking at was a Like/Thanks feature which for our forum would be more practical.

    I'll make a new thread so you can practice and have fun in. If the feature is removed, then I can just delete the thread. Don't leave any mean comments though ok even if you use the "I disapprove" button.

    You're right, this is new. The star is some kind of reputation button. However I don't see the green icon on my screen. What happens when you click it?

    I saw the stars yesterday but the green thingy is absent from mine too.

    Also, noticed yesterday the month is now spelled out on the post dates. It used to be the number format before.

    You are probably on the notorious list too 😎
    The new date format is an improvement, regarded with non-American eyes.

    Maybe because I have the forum opened on my computer (Windows)

    I hope we can have avatars too now.

    I can see the green thingy, but cannot click on it. Bummer, it would be fun to see everyone's descriptions. Lol
    The star lets me approve of a post and add comments. S8's version of the "like" button perhaps?

    Excellent suggestion. Avatars would add an extra dimension to the forum.

    Yes, this forum needs that. So many enjoyable posts deserving recognition for saying it as it is, for solving problems, for making us laugh, or for turning despair into (dark) comedy.
