I would like to trial using the Like button and choosing a reaction, Facebook style, as opposed to posts which are nothing more than "thanks for this interesting post". If you want to make a comment, please go ahead, but if all you want to do is show thanks, use the Like button. Note that negative reactions don't reduce the users 'score' at present, and I'm not sure how useful they will be in any case.

If you really want to 'rep' the user for their contributions, consider a profile post on their profile. Its public, and will be seen by anyone looking at the users' profile.

Please try this out on GREAT posts around the forum, not here :)
 
Is it described somewhere how the reaction score is computed?
 
Its just the total number of reactions received. So every like, love, haha, wow, sad, angry someone has done to one of your posts. You can have negative reaction subtract from the overall score, I didn't enable this.

I took the "leaderboard" of reaction off the site, as I didn't find it very helpful. I believe hesham is in number one place.
 
That's right my dear Paul,

and I hope from who did this to reduce it,please.
 
For me at least, the two numbers are ever so slightly out of synch -- my reactions "total" is consistently 2 higher than my reaction "score." A couple of stealth negative reactions? :)
 
Is there a way for a user to see a list of own likes? It could be a very convenient way to find content that one would want to revisit or quote, but I don't see such an option. There is "Reactions received", but no "Reactions made".

Click on your screen name upper right.
in panel which comes up, click on your username next to your picture
That will go to a page
Click on Latest Activity under your icon, avatar, whatever it is called,
Here's what that page looks like,

Not visible is scroll down to see button lower right "Show older items".
