Hey everyone,

So wisdom flags can be added by clicking on that little "plus" in the down-right corner of a post?

Sorry if that's been already answered and thanks for the answer

Yup, Wisdom Flags or Rep. Points can be added to another user's post by clicking on the green '+' next to the 0 (the 0 represents the number of times they got wisdom flags for this post). If the number is more than 0, it means that someone else had already added wisdom flags, but you can add more and make it 2 or three or whatever the person had. Hope this answers your question, and anyone else who has a question about this

Well, thanks for your help, deadmad.

With my newly learned wisdom, I just gave you one Wisdom flag (or Reputation point, whatever we shall call it) for teaching me.

I hope you use it wisely!

Well, thanks Little_asterisk for the wisdom flag! I have now officially have my first wisdom flag

P.S. I think it's wiser to call it wisdom flag rather than reputation points

Ah it's good to see that the thread structure has been changed so that the first post appears on every page. I was hoping that this would happen from a long time. In fact, I had started a thread in the suggestions forum a year ago but it didn't get much response. Now I'm happy that indirectly my dream has come true

agree with you simpleton, it is really a great way to help us in here. less navigation through the forum will help both the forums and the reader. thank you for that opaque and thank you simpleton for suggesting that earlier.

I'm really liking all of the new upgrades (except things like voting + and - on posts, because so many people disregard it that it's worthless).

I don't remember seeing quick-reply before either, so that is a very, very nice upgrade to me, .


Edit : About the first post showing on every page (as the previous posters noted), that threw me off at first. For example, a thread would show "8 pages" but only show one post.

i absolutely HATE the first post being on every page. it's the most ridiculous thing i ever heard of. posts or conversations are supposed to go in chronological order. also, if we want to view another page, we have to see the same post over and over again. whoever had this not so bright idea needs to rethink it because it's the most ridiculous thing i ever saw! yea, sometimes when i am reading the thread, i am curious what the original post was about. but having it on every page is worse than having to click on the first page. come on. it can totally throw people off if there are multiple pages.

For those, like me, who want it changed back, here are the instructions:

• In the top right hand corner, click the little downwards pointing triangle to the right of your username.
  
• Click on "My Settings"
  
• Click on the "Forums" tab
  
• Under the "Notification Preferences" section (a title which has nothing to do with the content of that section...) change the last drop-down box from "Linear+" to "Standard"
  
• Click "Save Changes"

As far as I know, it's always been an option that people could change for themselves, so why it was suddenly changed for all users without warning I have no idea

ahhhh1 that is good to know rvalkass! thank you! now i take back my post since we have this option of putting it back the NORMAL way
i didn't think we had a choice. good deal!

Thanks for the information Rv. I did not know this could be changed but after reading over multiple threads it started to aggravate me too. Once I have read the first post I do not need to read it again, lol.
