Like vs. Vote

Thank you for that… but it would be useful if there was a “like” capability in the original “Vote” post - right now that can’t be done.

If this “like” feature can not be added to a “Vote” post due to how Discourse works, one work around would be for the OP to immediately make a second post underneath (which of course can be “liked”) explaining its purpose.

Good tip, Jim !
I’ve just “liked” it :wink:

Hello Jim,

I’ll ask if it depends on our moderation or the site system rules. @gpailler could you, please, check?

Thank you

How are we doing with this request?

Thank You.

Note: One issue with “Vote” & “Like” on the same post might be the clarity of purpose with this set-up…

Do readers of the post “Vote” & “Like”?
or
Maybe they just “Like” because that is standard practice (habit) to show appreciation - but miss the “Vote” opportunity.

A note from the “feature request” originator would help with this possible issue.

Hello,

He will check it as soon as he gets back from the holidays.

Actually I looked this topic up just now on the Discourse site, and it appears the Moderator can elect to have both a “Vote” & “Like” capability in the same post.

Hello Svetlana,

Whichever way this goes, it would be great to have a formal announcement to clarify the rules and treatment of votes and/or likes - - so we have a clear understanding of what counts to influence enhancements to DxO applications.

Hello John,

I totally agree with it. Let’s just wait when this feature will be unlocked.

Well, well we need @bsayakhom help here.

Bruno, could you, please, unlock the “like” option?

Thank you

Thank You for your reply Bruno!

For now I’m going to go with “Plan B” which is to create a second post immediately under my “Request Feature” topic that indicates people should “like” the second post if they want to indicate support for the requested feature but do not want to give up a vote for it, or simply are out of votes.

Hello Bruno and Svetlana,
don’t you think the time has come to grant people a few more votes, at least to those that contribute here on a very regular base. Most of the regular contributors have spent all their votes and the voting process has almost come to a hold despite further very clever feature requests. This seems to defeat the purpose of your voting sytem to me. Another possibility could be to disclose which feature requests have already been accepted and to free the corresponding votes. I really feel there has to be done something here.
Thank you.

Hello @roeslewf,

Well, it’s a direct question to @bsayakhom or @CaptainPO. So guys, could you, please, analyze the suggestion and make a decision?

Thank you

Hi everyone !

Thanks @sgospodarenko to point that out, and thanks @roeslewf to bring this topic up !

We’ll indeed look into this very quickly with Bruno, starting by cleaning up the requests log, and see how it may be necessary to grant more vote power to regular contributors, which would seem fair enough.

Stay tuned ! :slight_smile:

Thanks very much. Your quick response is appreciated.

Any news on this? It has been four weeks now and you are announcing PL2 EA already.

@CaptainPO?

Thank you

On it !
I’m cleaning / Closing the suggestion topics that have been backed up, thus releasing votes for everyone that has voted!
Regarding the vote capacities, it has been increased according to users activity (and trust level groups)

Enjoy :wink:

Best regards,

Thank you!
How do we find out how many votes we now have?

Normally, when you vote for a topic, you have a message that tells you how many remaining votes you have.

Best,
Fabrizio

Also, you can go here, in your profile, to see your votes (and thereby count them):
