Ok, fine.

but I did fix up the display for anon posts and thumbs up / thumbs down..
Please explain with more details, what did you fix. And why?

I have heard: If it is ain't broken, you don't fix it.

It seems after readng »Error with private thumb(s) that you broke it. :(]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18276808 Thu, 03 May 2007 19:14:09 EDT Re: Rescind thumbs up or down http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18255840 Johnny : I think the site must be pretty near perfect if all the feature requesters can think of is the thumbs-up feature. People seem to be fixated on it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18255840 Mon, 30 Apr 2007 01:39:11 EDT Re: Rescind thumbs up or down http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18254873 Mele20 : That's ok with me. I tried using RIP extension on it and it removes the name of the person giving the thumb and it removed the name from a thumb given me too. But if necessary, I would prefer to not see thumbs given to me if that is the only way to not see those thumbs others have given anon posters. I really do not want to see that. It is distracting and prejudical to me. (Besides one can pretty much tell who gave thumbs by the posts in the thread). I realize that some/many/most? may like the feature and that is fine with me. I just want to opt out.

So, what code do I use? RIP removes the Forum titles when removing thumbs. :( I tried to be very careful with RIP too. I would like to see the title of the forum I'm in. :D So, removing it via I See People would be much better (even if it means I can't see thumbs given to me). Didn't we used to be able to see the thumbs given us on a tab on the postlist page? I don't see that now but I thought that used to be there.

Since anons can be given thumbs down it is silly to hide thumbs down and only show thumbs up.

I'm satisfied with the way it works now, it is quite a trivial subject anyway. If you don't want to be "seen" to take sides then don't vote on anon posts.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18251677 Sun, 29 Apr 2007 06:28:45 EDT Re: Rescind thumbs up or down http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18251668 Mele20 : I assume there is a reason for everyone seeing any thumbs given to anons but what is it? This means we all can see thumbs down as well as up given to anon? If so, I don't think that is a good idea. That could lead to bad things such as what happened when we could give thumbs up and down here and everyone saw. One of the finest things about this site is the policy regarding anon posting. I don't think that should be tampered with and letting everyone see any thumbs, good or bad, given to anon posters is not the way to encourage anon posting or encourage anon posters to become members.

So is that why everyone now sees any thumbs given by anyone to an anon poster? I just asked about this in Need Site Help. Are thumbs not private if given to anon posters?

STill would like the ability to rescind the thumbs up....
There's a simple solution-- don't give one unless you're sure you want to.

Posts should stand on their own merit. If you feel someone has made a 'thumb-worthy' one, and give a thumb, what are you going to do-- take it back twenty minutes later when the same person posts again, and you don't agree with that post?
An awful lot of adding & removing thumbs, potentially, if you ask me.

Plus, we'd need a notification, wouldn't we, that the prior thumb had now been rescinded?
Then you get nasty IM's about 'WTF did you pull my thumb??!'
Things could go back & forth like that for a long time! Or get worse! :D

. . . I'm not liking what I'm seeing here! :o

There are certain companies that won't allow their employees to register here, so they post anon. (RR or ATT or somewhere), so those people may be anons, but they still TRY to be helpful, so I disagree with that statement. Some DO care about their reputation. Also, if they're decent human beings they care, whether or not they're registered
