I keep getting redirected to this in the CR every time I open a thread.

For real? That's weird because we aren't running those types of ads. I'll give the network a heads up.

Okay, thanks. I'm going to have to uninstall Tapa for good. Now several ads run at the same time and sometimes audio from an ad that's not even in the feed runs.

They completely butchered what used to be an amazing app.

I think the paid for version is ad free. 

[Eastwood 4394]

I think the paid for version is ad free. 

Way back when it first came out, there was the free version with ads and a paid version that was a one time fee. I paid the one time fee. Some time in the last 4 years, maybe farther back, they switched to a subscription model and started showing me ads again. To hell with that, I should be grandfathered into the one time payment. I paid the money up front under the agreement that I wouldn't see ads. They changed the agreement.

I haven't been seeing them the past couple of days.

Not germane to the topic but also not worthy of a thread, hey, @immamac, what do the “replies” mean and why are they so whack?

[shadow_operative2.0 15941]

Those are the # of replies (posts) in each thread. 

[workswithseed 2086]

Is there a way have a noise differentiating from someone replying to you, and someone making a comment on a board you're on?

SIAP---I know this is a granular request/suggestion...but most of the site runs really well so figured it was worth a try to get something just for convenience sake---

The 5 little page tabs next to a topic.  Always listed as 1,2,3,4,and most recent.  Works just fine.  But for a thread that's way beyond page 5, into the several dozens or hundreds.  Nobody really needs direct access to page 4.  Could you switch it up to "any thread with more than 10 pages"...the 5 cubes will default to 1,2,3, then the second-to-most-recent and most-recent?  For a long thread, it's convenient to just click on the previous to last page to catch up instead of clicking on most recent and then clicking back a page.  It's not a big deal, just figured it was one line of cold altering.  Thanks.

site was updated last night - there are ranks and badges for random achievements. I don't know if I'll leave it enabled. Let me know if you have thoughts or find borked shit.

We all got together last night and downvoted every post. You are back to zero.

Yeah, how are we going to know how close we are to administering a crowdsourcing banning?

Yeah not a fan of this 

[SydneyCarton 48051]

Yup. Definitely should add post count and rep back to how to how it was. Honestly, I preferred the exact post count as well to just the estimate and the stupid little chat icon. 

I think the posts to rep ratio is a useful dynamic. 

[Armybrat 40814]

So the rep count has disappeared, which is good because it don’t make a shit in the Great Scheme Of Things,  but does that mean the end of crowdsourcing trolls?

i've long considered that dynamic as well. it doesn't always work as a metric of "good poster/bad poster" but frequently it seems to indicate that someone is more thoughtful.

On the very day my rep-to-post ratio was about to hit 1-1, the feature is removed. My dreams have been crushed. I am going back to Hornfans.

I am happy to be the exception that proves the rule.

Big talk from the guy with approximately 6.6k posts (I don't know the exact amount, but I used to under the old regime).

Have the software calculate the rep divided bt number of posts; and be able to filter out shitty posters.

I mean, I don't need them to do more work, imo. I can filter out shitty posters with the ignore button.

sorry been busy with work. I need to figure out how to get reputation enabled again.

Have you tried turning off and turning back on the rep?

If my rank is not Admiral when you finally figure this out, I'm going to ask to speak to your manager.
