kiheikidthe forum’s default setting keeps score of one’s (1) likes received from others for one’s posts in the forum, and (2) comments made in this section. funny thing is that, according to hpwulola, the admins/mods did not pay attention to this section and did not know how to change the default settings governing how this section works. the scores seem to act as a feedback loop for certain individuals even though this section supposedly has been running on autopilot since day one. -
Magpie31Is it just those things, @kiheikid or does it also count forum posts? It is actually just a lovely space for off topic chatter that we have been requesting for ages. -
kiheikidmagpie - if number of forum posts also factor into point system, that would certainly explain certain point totals for, um, more musical members 😉
-
AcumenClearly it's not though, because if you look at your discussion and comment totals, kiheikid, you are by far the most musical of us all. -
AcumenI believe there are some additional points awarded for first discussion, first comment, and that sort of thing, Magpie31. After that though, it's based strictly on "likes". I read some of the documentation on this forum platform (Vanilla Forums), and that's what I gathered from it. It's pretty weird to have a ranking system on a discussion forum. Why rank people? No forum users should be considered "better" than others. That's an awful system. I don't think the HPWU team can remove it though because it's part of the core functionality. A simple solution would be to hide it from the site navigation, but then we wouldn't have this crazy playground for random conversations.
-
Magpie31I have seen systems before that rank users based on likes, so I don't think it is unusual. But it is a little sad - it turns it into a popularity contest. There are some people who are just going to bounce around doing LOVE ME, LOVE ME!!!! posts. Hopefully, though, as this page is so hidden, they might not catch on.

AcumenAgreed, Magpie31. I’m okay with the concept of “likes” as a form of positive feedback to encourage forum contributors for posting something helpful, nice, or even just silly. Some have encouraged a dislike button, which I think is a terrible idea, because it would almost certainly be weaponized by people who take pleasure in being hurtful and abusive.
Ranking users by number of “likes” needs to go, too. It’s not a contest. We’re just having conversations. Sometimes we post something that others identify or agree with, sometimes we don’t. It would be insane to implement such a ranking system in real life, and I think it’s very unhealthy that it ever became a thing online.
I could just imagine a coworker of mine who is brilliant and works hard but isn’t very social going home with no “likes” at the end of the day. Meanwhile, a windbag like me who likes to tell stories and crack jokes but isn’t any better at his job goes home with tons of “likes”.
That’s not a world I would want to live in, so I struggle to understand why anyone ever thought it’d be a good idea to design the virtual world this way. -

Right- this new quote thingy!! - is it just me that keeps hitting it accidentally instead of the thumbs up & going doh!! And having to delete a draft i had no intention of making 🤦🏼♀️😂

DogoutlawMaybe I should say, not having trouble with hitting by accident. But definitely having to get rid of draft because it didn’t work the way I thought it would.
-
MrSciGuyHaving to delete draft on mobile is annoying! No easy way to just delete an image or the new quote box. -
Dogoutlaw@MrSciGuy agreed. I've found myself avoiding posting pics now because all my pics are on my phone, but it's just a pain.
-
AuroraKadavraYeh with the pocs ive started finding the ones in my gallery ive got ready- screenshot them, crop, then they are at the top ready when i go to post cos working it out from the tiniest thumbnail in christendom is annoying! Lol
Just me with the fat fingers on the like button then! 😂 but yeh its weird the new quote thingy- tho with the wonderful explanation someone gave- cant remem who but was a regular- lucoir? Or Bormacska maybe- made me laugh & also i thought cool! So thats how people did it before...alaays wondered! 😂 -

AcumenHave you tried baking cookies? It probably won't fix the issue you're having with Adventure Sync, but you'll have cookies!

Help my adventure sync isn't working. Yes always allow is on and yes location always on is on. Why won't it work? I'm at a loss.

AcumenI'm replying to let you know I'm no longer replying to questions on the activity feed. This just isn't going to work out. It isn't you, it's me. You see, I'm not sure how people with questions even end up here on this particular page of the community forum. It's a weird place to ask a question, especially when there are much more relevant categories you can navigate to like "General Questions" or "Report a Bug." Don't get me wrong, my intention isn't to make you feel like you did something wrong. The problem is that this part of the forum isn't really meant to be used in this way, and shouldn't even be included in the site navigation really. We can't tag people in replies on this section of the forum, and you won't receive a notification if anyone answers your question. If you scroll down the page, you'll see several instances of people asking questions and getting the answer they needed. However, you'll almost never see a response from the original poster saying, "Thanks" or "I'll try that" or "That didn't work." Why is that? I suppose it's because the fact that you're here on this particular page is a weird fluke to begin with, and you'll probably never come back to this page again. The only people who look at the activity feed occasionally, other than those who arrived here by an unfortunate accident, are the forum "regulars" who check here for random questions like this one. So, there's no real point in answering your question here, am I right? I think so. Good luck with the Adventure Sync thing though!

AuroraKadavraClassic Acumen!! Right there! 🙌😂
Good points tho & so eloquently put.
Now....about cheese......😂 -
Imaginatio@Acumen lol 😂 I guess I could be considered a sort of regular, but I still usually end up here by accident. Very weird 🤔 -
-
BormacskaMichecca, what our beloved Acumen is trying to say is the best place to look would be here: https://community.harrypotterwizardsunite.com/en/categories/report-a-bug

Cheese. My personal favorite is Feta. Most of the feta you find here in the US is made from bovine milk, which is fine, but feta made from sheep and/or goat milk has better flavor. This has been me talking about cheese on the activity feed for no reason. Thank you for reading.

AuroraKadavraIve been thinking ling and hard about this one. But im gonna go with my gut (dya see what I did there 😉) and say Jarlsberg is my fave! Originally from Norway- but fun fact it's now also produced in Ohio under Norwegian contract to make sure they don't 'mess it up' is what it says on google when I just looked to see what country its from 😀
-
ClairabusGryffY’all are all cheesy! 🧀 Sorry I couldn’t resist!!
I love all cheese my go to is Buffalo Mozzarella or a sharp cheddar or French Brie. -
-
-
-
AcumenI’ll have to give buffalo mozzarella a try. And @owlx has me wanting to try more herbed cheeses.
-
Bormacskaoh we get the most amazing herbed curds out here... almost like string cheese they're so big!
-
-
AuroraKadavraOk now i want to try some herbed cheese!!
I forgot wensleydale with cranberries!! Omg sooooo good!!! -
Riversong5972I just stumbled upon this and have to say, you all are so funny!! And making me hungry! -
AuroraKadavraIt really does make me hungry every time i read this & want cheese instantly!! This is why i can't commit to full vegan! Cos- cheese!!!
I was hoping u were sharing a new delectable delight for us to mull over Riversong!😂 -
-
DogoutlawY'all making me hungry... lol A recent favorite is Merlot BellaVitano. It's sooo good. I'm not sure how common it is in other places, but we can get it in our little co-op in town. Has anyone else seen it?
-
AuroraKadavraI have not seen that cheese but I'm gonna look for it now!!! We have co-ops too! Yay lol. I think M&S here in uk might b best to look for that one- il not bother getting dressed- heading there in my pjs now! 😂
-
AuroraKadavraWait......Owlx....Apple pie!!- with cheese!!!!? Have u gone stark raving bonkers!!? 😂😂
-
-
OwlxI've tried apple pie and cheese not my thing but it's a cultish food thing in yhe US in some New England states.
-
AuroraKadavraYeh i can imagine a plate of snacky things, with sliced apple & cheese on same plate, that u defo eat separately 😂
But i think il leave the 'cultists' to the apple pie with cheese!!
Saying that though- never know- it could be amazing!!! Never one to shy from a challenge- lets do it!! -
MtPolluxI have no interest in cheese on apple pie, despite living in New England all my life. What I do really like, though, is cutting an apple into slices, then putting peanut butter and a slice of really sharp cheddar on each slice. Good stuff.
-
DogoutlawOh, I'll have to try that.
@AuroraKadavra, I eat the apple and cheese (cheddar) together, not separate. So good. -
AuroraKadavraRight- now i really feel im missing out with this whole apple & cheese in the same mouthful thing- gonna haf to try that tomorrow immediately!! And oh my goodness mtpollux just went completely awol with adding peanut butter into the mix- this is turning into mayhem!!! 😂
-
BormacskaOh we call them combos. Apple, cheese and a slice of salami or summer sausage... Great for hiking! Add a dollop of nut butter, yup! Yum! 🧀🍎🥓🥜
