Little did we know that four features we were forced to remove (by our tech team, swear it!) several weeks ago were among our most popular. So we’re glad to announce that we’ve brought back view counts on our posts (to tell you how popular an item is, even if few people have commented on it), the ability to flag offensive and distasteful comments (so our editors can manually review them), embeddable images within comments (rather than just linking to them on the web), and the ability to @reply directly to a comment (providing a link to the original comment you’re replying to). If you notice any bugs, please let us know. And yes, the view count on most posts will be close to zero, since our system only just began counting views again. Sorry about depriving you of these features for so long, really!

Now if we could get thumb nails on the Morning Goods, that would be super

Thanks!

Good news there, Team Qweerty. I got here after you removed those features, so they’ll be a first for me on this site.
Have noticed on other sites that the “leave a comment on a comment” app does seem to keep the longer discussions more readable. Flagging’s helps when things flame up and boil over. Not that that ever happens here!
Say thanks to the tech squad, okay?

“embeddable images within comments (rather than just linking to them on the web)” How do we do this?

this is good. i think we needed this, sometimes, things do get heated here and actually, kind of scary.

Yeah, Im not buying the tech team excuse, but Im very glad functionality is back on the site, its been weird not having it this long. Good thing Queerty.
Now if we could only bring back the thumbnails, everything would be perfect.

Thanks very much!! Though personally I’d gladly trade the image thing *and* page view counts for the ability to subscribe to a thread without posting in it. Just an idea for the next time you’re looking for changes to make.
By the way, when the features vanished you posted that you didn’t know why they weren’t working. Would it be all right to ask what happened?
@1EqualityUSA: Right under the ‘submit’ button, it says “You can add images to your comment by clicking here.” The link is not as useful as it might be: it asks for a URL and then puts it between IMG tags, which you could as easily type in yourself now that it’s allowed again.

Eva notice that the thread with the most views is always
the morning goods? jus’ sayin……..
As far as flaggin’ I think now that the most infamous poster
has been scared away because of a supposed FBI investigation
that button won’t be pushed as much as it would have.
Unfortunetely I am ascared that he has simply signed on
under a few new tags and is spewin his poo again…….
2 more requests Queerts: Can you change the font of these
posts? Courier which eva one this is looks too much like
newspring. prefer something more modern looking sans serifs!
And how bout a spell chek????? : P

The other feature that would be AWESOME would be the capacity to ignore a specific user. Anyone remember Tracer?

What a kick-ass web site:

What is this with audio on ads starting to play as soon as the page begins to load? If you want me to never buy your product, do this.

@terrwill: Who do you mean?
@Fitz: “Ignore user” is mostly worthless even on regular message boards; the ones you most want to ignore always generate responses, which just makes the thread harder to follow without even clearing out the noise. On a site like this, where you don’t have to register, but can enter any name and address you like, it would be both completely worthless AND next to impossible to implement.
@terrwill: Fonts? Really? It’s easy to read and unobtrusive, that’s good enough.
terrwill
@hyhybt: Which part do you mean?
hyhybt
@terrwill: The “most infamous poster.”
