If we have 'like and dislikes' it would be great if we could deactivate that if we so choose. — Mayor of Simpleton

Note that the system only has likes, and no dislikes.

Doesn't look like it. What you can do is hide a category's discussions from your "All discussions" screen. Not the same but the closest thing I've found to what you're looking for.

I wonder if he knows how to select text?

I have to go out now. Any problems or complaints, post them in the feedback category.

And besides, "free speech" should and does have limits. — Sapientia

Really? Sounds like a discussion in the making.

That's the stuff of internet legend.

I added another option.

Yes indeed. Thank you.

Yep, I bloody love it.

Hey Πετροκότσυφας, welcome. I've got the site zoomed to 125%. Ctrl+ to zoom your browser, and it'll remember that setting whenever you're on the site (in Chrome at least).

And welcome Sapientia. Good to have you here.

Done. I'm curious: did it seem impossible to do it yourself?

Oh and welcome on board, again. :)

There's a built-in subscription thing I can turn on that could be perfect for donations. I'll work it out some time in the next few days.

There, I gave you one.

No, I'm afraid not.

UPDATE: I managed to turn off the likes leaderboard.

I don't mind likes, but I'm not too keen on the leaderboard. Not sure if I can get rid of it. Probably not.

In some ways it might be an improvement on PF, because there's no dislike.

Thanks very much Benkei, that's a good deal! But this forum here is ready pretty much out of the box, they take care of all the hosting issues, and it will be scalable and just look after itself (technically I mean). I'm going to set up subscriptions so people can help me with the monthly $49.

Thanks Benkei! Hope to have a domain sorted out soon, and any help getting people over here is appreciated.

It's available! wosretandthephilosophiles.com

Probably a somewhat rare feature of online forums. — jorndoe

Wouldn't be surprised if Discourse and NodeBB supported it, but I've discounted them as they're a big hassle to set up. Otherwise, adding features like that is the advantage of hosting your own software. Not a dealbreaker though, I wouldn't think.

As for videos, it's not only youtube you can embed:

Hm, no MathJax though. andrewk would not be happy.

Howdy!

Not a great fan myself, but I would say definitely yes. And there are no doubt some other missing categories because I was just testing when I set it up.

That's good. — bert1

Just testing quotes.

Hey bert, yeah that's a great feature. Went somewhere else on the site, came back here and my part-composed reply was still here. (Y)
