No XP/Laughs?

[RangerWickett]

What 'edition' of EN World are we on these days? Can we edition war about the messageboard features?

Actually, I guess I need to update my avatar, since it looks stretched and pixelated on desktop.

A lot of the previous XP doesn't seem to have migrated. I currently only have 336 "likes", all of which seem to date back to 2014. No record of anything since then. Before the switch, I had 2400 or so between XP and Laughs.

Disconcerting. Although I created my account in 2010, I didn't really start posting here until the WotC forums shut down which was 2014/15? So if that is the case, I have to climb up from nothing again.

 

[Rune]

Yeah. Pretty sure I lost a few hundred, too.

 

[Rune]

Granted, XP wasn’t even a thing during most of EN World’s first decade, so I guess I can’t be too bothered by it.

You guys can't see this?

I don’t see that on mobile.

I don’t see that on mobile.

When you say "on mobile" could you clarify what you mean? Just viewing the site on a mobile device (which shows the same as desktop) or using the Tapatalk app (which is a third party app I don't have any control over)?

Ahh. Viewing the site on a mobile device, specifically an iPhone X.

EDIT: Just checked it out on my laptop, now I see. You have to hover your mouse over Like, which I can't do on my phone for obvious reasons. Carry on!

Could you provide a quick screenshot? It's visible on my phone. (the actual device makes no difference; it's a web page not an app, but I have the same phone)

 

[Rune]

I can confirm. I’m on a mobile device and see only a thumbs-up “like” option. Which I will test right now.

Spoiler: Here’s a screenshot.

Seems like I can long-press to bring up the options.

 

[Flexor the Mighty!]

Now I'm down to 12 likes from 2013. Which means nobody really like me anymore. Mom was right!!!

Yep, I can too.

On one hand, I should resist unnecessary gamification.

On the other hand, "MAH EXPERIENCE POINTS!"

Yeah, I seem to be an "Explorer" now, instead of "A 1e title so awesome it's not even in the book."

Obviously, Morrus and the others deliberately took out the XP/Laugh features that existed from 2015 on, after PROMISING US that they would support the features of ALL EDITIONS of the messageboard.

Where is the inclusion?

This is a slap in the face to people, like me, that loved and used the XP / Laugh system, and is clearly just a sop to the olds who never grokked how awesome it was.

(Am I doing this right? Do I need more umbrage?)

If you have to ask if your messageboard edition warring needs more umbrage, then it definitely needs more umbrage.

This is obviously a promotion sponsored by the new Dora movie.

I was just coming up to level 17. Waah!

Weirdly, I have a bunch of ‘reactions’ listed in my profile, but they date back to 2014, nothing more recent.

 

[Morrus]

I know what it is. It was about 5 years ago we installed the new like/laugh thing on the old boards, and stopped using the old rep system. This upgrade imported the data from old rep system and converted it to the new reactions system.
