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.

I don't know the password to that account anyway, but I will claim all the sweet, sweet karma I'm getting. We should chuck up a karma leaderboard somewhere actually...

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

We should implement a bot to automatically hide posts asking for This's.

That's ok, just wait until 'un-this' is implemented, then his karma will be more accurate!

Not yet sorry, it'll come to the apps when we implement the ability to quote posts in v1.1. It's a decent amount of work needed to add buttons like that to the app, so we'll add it for the next update, whenever that happens.

There's 900,000 posts, so at one post a second, that would take you 10.4 days to get through. Plus, everyone would need to do it, otherwise the leaderboard would have a massive bias to what you like ;)

You don't even need an alt to get around that :)

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

Yep. I don't like it and want to fix but was told "don’t do that ,looks like shit". 

Shall we stage a coup and right-justify them anyway?

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 ;)

What's wrong with the stars?


I think the reason why the stars are there is once a member posts a certain number of posts they will be rewarded and move up a star?i think it has been broken for a long long time as no one has ever moved in a long long time

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