Is it me ! Or because there's no stars

I've just triplicated one but you've quadrupled 😀

TDA, tip-don't keep hitting the reply tab. . . .When it eventually does reply they're all recorded & posted

I think things have picked up now that folk are back from their Christmas/New Year breaks and also getting used to the new forum and its quirks.

I'm glad the stars have gone - I could see how they might encourage folk to post in the early days of CT but they'd long outlived their original purpose.

As for the "+1's", I used them occasinally myself and actually thought it was sometimes a better way of expressing agreement with someone else's post than the often very long winded multi paragraph posts that basically said "I agree" without adding anythng new to a discussion.

The one good thing about the 'stars' was that it was an indicator of the experience/longevity of the poster. A "member since" or "no of posts" could give some indication of the reliance one might wish to place upon a post.

Agreed! (Or +1 if you prefer!)
