So 7 examples spread out over a years times doesn't seem like a reason to change something. If anything compared to the number of people that didn't ask for it seems like the majority is loosing and things are being changed because of one or two strong willed people wanted it.

If you didn't need or have to prove it why did you chose to with such weak examples and then think you have presented me with the smoking gun? Was this your idea so you feel compelled to defend it?

I don't like change. Set in my old ways but since this isn't my social web site I personally don't care what ya do with it.. If I don't like it I simply stop using it.

I remember some discussion about a dislike button but the general opinion was it might turn controversial..someone might get offended at a dislike....:) Just saying

Unless people stop using EO the change will no matter how much people don't like or want it
I don't know, I haven't reached the new buttons and don't know if I ever will. Without researching them and actually seeing them I can only think some will be butt hurt by negative buttons or whatever they are called.. (Unlike a cute Lil thumbs down)
It Maybe the greatest thing since sliced bread I don't know??

The 7 examples presented weren't intended to be the bedrock reason to change something. You asked for proof that people had asked for it, and I gave you that proof.

If anything compared to the number of people that didn't ask for it seems like the majority is loosing and things are being changed because of one or two strong willed people wanted it.
A), nobody has lost anything, as the "Like" button is still there, it didn't go away. B), I gave you a small sampling of people who asked for it, not the entirely of the requests. C), you have no idea how many people did or did not ask for it, much less the ratio of which any comparisons can be drawn.

If you didn't need or have to prove it why did you chose to with such weak examples and then think you have presented me with the smoking gun?
Since you think people explicitly asking for additional feedback buttons are weak examples of people asking for additional buttons, it's clear enough that no strong examples can possibly exist. I stated that people had asked for it, you said "Proof or it didn't happen," and I gave you the smoking gun proof that it did happen.

Was this your idea so you feel compelled to defend it?
Actually, no, it wasn't my idea. People have been requesting Unlike and other various buttons here for years. I simply did the research on the ways to implement those requests. I first introduced this particular implementation on the forums back in October and the response I got was overwhelmingly in favor of this implementation, with not a single PM against it. I was my idea, however, not to use Negative ratings and instead make all of the feedback ratings a Positive rating. One, because negative ratings is counterproductive in a forum like this, but at the same time feedback such as Helpful, Not Helpful, Agree and Disagree, are all helpful to those doing research who need to separate out the useful posts from the not-useful.

The EO app (as well as the native, unbranded Tapatalk) are completely different programs from the Web forum software (Xenforo), and as such the vast majority of changes made to one will not affect the other. The Web browser on the phone and tablets, however, is almost identical to that of the computer Web browser.
