While I see what your getting at, and agree with some of it, I think this is the greatest asset of this new bar. For the obvious reasons. Now, as a member, we are forced to actually read the posts of members and decide their worth. In my days as a member, I was lucky enough to receive enough Applauses to break the old post bar. I mean, I don't kid myself for a second to think I'm in the same realm as half of this board when it comes to worthy posts. I read some of the material from new members with a glowing gray bar, and a lot of it goes unnoticed. I think some members may pass over a post or two, because the member is supporting a miniscule gray bar. With this new one, we are on one level and everyone is an equal. Our posts speak for themselves, and the bar will not speak for ourselves anymore.

I think Applauses! are a form of reinforcement, not a determining factor for some mythological "ATS hierarchy".

And we can not overlook what is most important.

30 minutes after cutting over the new code, server load went from 72% to 36%... it's going to be a major overall boost.


I know personally, my browser was having some problems viewing ATS. Once or twice I x'd out and walked away for a few minutes because it frustrates me. Considering this new upgrade is going to drastically enhance the board output, how can we possibly disagree with that?

I've noticed a big difference myself.

And to show that I am capable of having an opinion of my own, not just agreeing with everything that the Admin do, I will say that I did prefer the old red titles. I prefer the old titles, but I happen to like the new post bar.

For members that work hard for their credibility and respect which they have earned, I feel the new bar a sort of slap in the face. I am now among the newest members making crack pot stories about their trip back in time with buhbuh the reptilian.

I see what your saying, but you can always look at someones "joined" date.... If the bar was re-adjusted to properly show someones post I would be happier as for applauses I suppose they don't matter anymore?
