Thanks for the info!

I noticed that images in signatures were no longer shrinking to fit on mobile devices following the forum upgrade, so I've corrected this. Signature images should now shrink to fit again.

Hey, is it possible to discard one or several drafts?

[DinoToyForum]

Sure, isn't there a 'delete' button next to each post in the draft section of your profile?

[Concavenator]

Thank you!  @dinotoyforum Wasn't aware of that particular section.

[Halichoeres]

I'm curious, with the introduction of the 'like' button, has there been any change in the number of comments posts receive? Any evidence that likes are substituting for comments?

[DinoToyForum]

That's an interesting thought. The stats are here if anybody is interested: http://dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php?action=stats Just eyeballing the tallies there may well be a slight drop-off in the number of monthly new posts, although that seems to go back to March, before the upgrade, so it could just be a coincidence. And there are typically fewer posts in the summer months anyway.

I find stats kind of fascinating, especially ones that are historically oriented, so thanks for pointing out these numbers. Mark Twain is the one , I believe, who said that there are three kind of lies: lies. damn lies and statistics. But I do believe that these stats show that the DTB/DTF is pretty healthy and dynamic. I do wish that a higher percent of members would actively participate on a more regular basis though.

Thanks, I'd forgotten how much was available in the stats section! It does seem like the year-over-year post count is down a bit: June 2022 has 800 fewer posts than June 2021, and July 2022 has 700 fewer posts than July 2021. The differences between June/July 2021 and June/July 2020 are much smaller, however, and in fact July 2021 had more posts than July 2020.

We need a "New for 2023" subforum. We've already got all the Schleich reveals and before we know it, it'll be November and the CollectA reveals will commence!

Thanks for the reminder, done: http://dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php?board=41.0

While you're about it, would it be possible to merge the two Schleich 2023 threads?

Awesome, thank you, except I don't see the Schleich thread in there.

[Halichoeres]

Thank you!

As someone who has never used social media or any forums other than this one, how does the "Like" button work? I clicked on it in someone's post but it switched to "Dislike" and now I'm not sure if I accidentally disapproved of the comment. I don't want to click on it again in case I become some sort of "Forum Grinch".

When you click "Like", your choice is registered as such. The reason that "Dislike " appears is to give you the option to change your choice. You will see a confirmation beneath that stating that you liked the comment itself.
