NEW FORUM FEATURE: This.

Hey Feverites,

We've pushed a new feature to the site for you all to use today, and it's called This. You can see a new button at the bottom of all posts, that's the This button. Basically, it's there for you to use when you agree with what someone is saying, and should be used instead of quoting the post and typing "This".

It's our version of the Facebook 'like', the Twitter 'favourite' and the Reddit 'upvote', and you also get a karma point for everytime someone This's one of your post. The total number of This's for a post is displayed in the top right corner, underneath the post number. Your overall karma is displayed under your avatar, and is probably going to be a better indication of how much people agree with your opinion than your post count is.

You can only This a post once, and you can't This your own posts either. At the moment, you can't Un-This a post, but we'll add that in later.

Have fun playing with it!

EDIT: Nik fixed the button, normal transmission resumes.

Lia is shit. Sack Ricki.

This.

What he said

Not applicable on app?

Patrick getting epic Karma point for posting as himself instead of as 'The Fever'. Clever.

Are there going to be desperate pleas to 'this' posts, much like when people ask for RT.

Junior82 will be a mile ahead.

Until you stop leading it?

So I need to read back from the very first post to make this truly accurate, right?

but seriously...top work Patrick and Nik.

Registers alt.

Not available through Ozzy mobile network. That seems right they would never like a post on here. lol

That's what happens if you click it twice Blew, so you must have already This'd it.

The button not getting hidden is a bug that is about to get fixed. But clicking it again doesn't work.

Aaaaaaand Nik just broke the button. It's hidden for everyone now. I'll fix tonight. 

This happened.

...and he left justified them instead of right.

FFS

Ironically, the change made it so that you could *only* "This" posts that you'd already "This"'d.

In any case, it looks much prettier now and even has avatars. Oooh, shiny.

I did a couple of speed things to do it too, so super interested if anyone notices it being a bit sluggish, especially on pages with many endorsed posts. 

@HN/Patrick: Yeah, the buttons are going to be completely reimagined sooner rather than later. I'm not a Serif fan ;)

Good job Patrick. Is fixing this star thing next on your list of tasks? 

Hi guys. 

I founded Yellow Fever. Without me there would be no such things as 'this!'s'. Just saying.

It's a worry when the founder of the Fever, has not yet registered a karma score :)

Disappointed. Thought we were finally getting the long awaited ignore button.

We should have saved the first 'this' for Ballane. He is the first ever fan after all.
