Whoa - is it my eyes or did something change in the last hour??????

Now all we need is a dark theme and my eyes can recover somewhat hopefully....👁👁

though having the option not to display members' accumulated "Likes received" would remove some of the competitiveness - not that there seems to be much here.

This isn't Instagram.
We don't need to show our photoshopped body parts to get as many likes as we can.

I didn't realise Photoshop was *that* good!

From a "being a forum member" point of view since the earliest days of forums, including being staff on a few, I love logging in one day to find a nice upgrade was done. It's a pleasant surprise, nothing scary or shocking that sends me to the corner biting my fingernails in trepidation.

Or nice surprises during holidays...such as "snow effects" at Christmas time, or stuff like that..nice to just log in and be welcomed by that change.

As for how some new forums have "reputations" and "post counts" and "reaction scores"...take it for what it's worth. Sometimes fun, sometimes...who the flying F cares.

Wow, I'm gone a few weeks and come back to a s*it show it seems. You can't please everyone though. Personally, I like the new layout.

It looks better, thanks.

Another small update came out a few days after the major update and we've updated. Something you'll see is the "Similar Threads" below each thread.
We have a lot of gold nuggets of content, this allows you to easily find them again.

I have also testing "Question Threads" which allow you to upvote answers and "Mark as solution" like StackExchange or similar. Won't apply to most forums here where discussion is the focus, but might apply to help forums like Tech-to-Tech Computer Help.
Check out the test thread here: https://www.technibble.com/forums/threads/testing-question-threads.85739/

Did another test of a new feature "Search Forums".

What it does is it groups together topics of the same subject matter, regardless of what forum it was posted in.

I created a search forum about Backup.

So backup threads could be in O365, Servers, Resellers, or the business of how to sell backups in Business and Legal issues.

The search forum puts them all in one forum. If its about backup, its in there.

Backup

Anything related to backups

How will TEO be aggregated by this feature? The search utility may be accessed by web crawlers, there for placing TEO content (and any forum/s that "used" to be "private") in the open.

It's still a permission based search. You (or Google) wont see results they dont have permission to see.

Left is logged OUT (no rights to see those forums) - Right is logged IN

Managed Services, TEO and Cloud Solutions are excluded from the logged out left.
