Voting on stories.

Hi,

I might be missing something. This new site is still a little confusing for me. I can't seem to vote on stories anymore. I did a forum search for info on this and didn't find a topic. I also can't see the scores given to my stories. Is this a change I missed, or is there something else going on? I was a platinum member before the switch, if that matters.

They changed the scoring system and removed the old 5 point scoring system about a month or so ago (maybe two now?). The new system awards a point for a Like and a second point if the story also gets a Favorite. So to score on a story, click Like and/or Favorite. Old stories from before the change had some kind of conversion done but I forget the details. I'll go find the thread where Jen explained it all.

Thanks. That's the thread I was thinking of.

And here you can read up on site announcements

Thank you, I'll be honest and say I'm not a real big fan of this new version, but it has been growing on me since I've gotten a bit of my writers' mojo back. So I guess I need to get up to speed a bit better on it. Thanks again for sharing the link with me.

The new scoring system is actually what I have thought we should have for years (no numeric scores, just points awarded based on likes and favorites) so I've been a happy ape. Still have some quibbles with the software but I'm in IT and also admin a forum site using top notch off-the-rack software so can be fussy about stuff. After a year, I would say I am okay with the state of things, but not ecstatic.

Oh, I like the new scoring format as well. My comment was concerning the site in general. Being around for 11yrs now the change over was not loved but I'm warming up to it little by little.😊

RR, I think change is hard for many of us. And it gets harder for me as I age. 😊 The site's made a lot of improvements since it first converted. Glad you are writing again!
