Thumb up... thumb down?

I would like to comment on the appearance of the red "thumb down" option I now see in the forum.

One of the reasons I decided to joined up here (other than the huge amount of valuable knowledge possessed by the members) was the politeness and civility I saw on the VCCA forum.

I did NOT always see that on other sites.

In view of this, I wonder if the "thumb down" feature is really in keeping with the spirit of this forum?

I have not seen it used, and don't expect it will be given the integrity of this forum.

Still, does it really have a place here?

Just asking...   🙂

My first visit to the new forum, and I find it much harder to use than the old one.  What am I missing?  And I cannot for the life of me find a "search" buttoon to sift through posts, such as we had before.  Again, am I overlooking something?

Can be a bit hard to see because of the blue color, here I have marked it with the green arrow.

And the old forum is still searchable the same way as before.

I hadn't noticed that.

On my screen it's next to impossible to see.

Yes, it`s almost invisible untill you click on it, then it will show the searchbox, like in this picture.

Maybe Peter can make a change, so searchbox is always visible.

I noticed it in the lower left corner of each post a while ago. When you put the pointer on it it brings a thumb up/down, click on your choice. I havent noticed if it remains on the post or not though.
