Conversations are better.

In the old system, it was not easy to see who you were talking to. For example, if I started a private conversation with Sue and Leo, it might not be obvious to Sue that Leo was included.

Now all three participants appear to the right hand side very prominently.

What are the reaction scores beside user names? How are they calculated?

 

[Brendan Burgess]

Hi DeeKie

There is a little like button which gives you 6 options - as an illustration, I have suggested that I am "angry" at your post.

So the reaction is the cumulative score. Not sure if my being angry reduces your reaction by 1.

DeeKie - just in case the "angry" reaction does reduce your "reaction"... I added a "like" ...

I only have quote and reply for some reason, would it be because I am only new?

I don't have the "Like" option either only "Quote" and "Reply" do I need to do something with my settings?

You are correct once your status goes from "New Member" to "Registered User" the "Like" option appears and enables you to post reactions!
