Hi,
I accidentally marked every thread as unread. Is there a way to undo this please?
Thanks
Just mark them all as "read" from the top of the home page?

Sorry! I meant the other way round! I marked them all as read accidentally and I want to mark them as unread again now.Just mark them all as "read" from the top of the home page?

Posts in the Quizzes and Games forum have not contributed towards total post counts for a number of years. I don't recall it doing so but if any counted after the update, this (like above) was before the full forum settings were applied.
Cheers Paul, I didn't even notice that the quizzes didn't count. That said the only quiz I really take part in on here is the General Knowledge one.If my memory serves me right, it was 2012 when the website staff took the decision not to allow postings on the Quizzes and Games forum to be added to the officially recognised posting totals of each website member. It was also at that time when the website set up their accredited forum quizmaster team.

Thanks for replyingAs covered many times throughout this thread, the 'like' functionality is disabled on the forums. It was usable shortly after the forum upgrade, but that was before all the appropriate settings were applied and it was never envisaged for the feature to be enabled. A search within this thread will provide more discussion if this answer is insufficient.

Just a simple question ...if I submit a new post or start a new thread, why dont I see it in the 'new posts' sub headings almost immediately ? Does someone read them before they are published in the Forums ?
And to answer that question in the vast majority of cases we do not read posts or threads before they are published on the Forum. There are simply too many for us to be able to do it!Does someone read them before they are published in the Forums ?
I may have missed it in the course of the thread, but is there a specific reason that Likes don't get any love? On other fora I have been involved with (both as member and moderator) they were a good way to cut down on 'Me too.' posts.Technical implementation issues (such as there being no way of disabling Tapatalk's inbuilt Like functionality)
I have seen that happening too. Was that with thumbs up/down, kudos or likes?...with the forum turning more into a popularity contest...

I know it's likely all be discussed previously, but I used to moderate a forum with about 5000 or so active members and we had an anonymous 'Like' system rather than thumbs up/down. IIRC only the poster (and moderators) could see who had actually liked the post.This was with a thumbs up/thumbs down style system.
Message received!This issue has been extensively discussed previously, so unfortunately we will not be revisiting this in the foreseeable future.
Tapatalk's free version puts a 'Posted with Tapatalk' line at the end of each post
Tapatalk is ad-supported, but the ads don't support the forum
We had a poll on this subject, and more people voted not to have such a button than those who voted to have one.I may have missed it in the course of the thread, but is there a specific reason that Likes don't get any love? On other fora I have been involved with (both as member and moderator) they were a good way to cut down on 'Me too.' posts.
You were lucky, that has happened elsewhere is people vote for the most extreme posts. For example on MoneySavingExpert, I remember a horse riders vs car owners discussion; extreme posts (on both sides) got plenty of 'thanks' (aka 'likes') while people who posted in the middle-ground didn't.... but we didn't have thumb wars or cliques ganging up to thumbs down particular posters.
Understood. If and when it does come up for discussion again I hope you consider a 'Like-only' system as it cuts down 'me too' posts and doesn't have the negatives that come with any system that allows downvoting.We have discussed the idea at length many times and carefully considered the pros and cons, and we have no plans to change our decision. Sorry.
This can be turned off by the user. They just need to be encouraged to do it.
Forum owners do get to keep a share of the revenue.
My biggest problem with Tapatalk as a forum owner is the banners and popups they put on the site telling people to install their app. I've managed to remove this on my sites, but there's no easy way to do it.
Tapatalk advertises itself on the forum when accessed on mobile
