How Does This Work

Anyone else having trouble uploading a new one?

I'm ignorant about setting up a message board website so maybe this idea isn't practical, but I've always thought a messageboard should have a system where you can click a button that simply adds a "thumbs up" tracked stat to the post. Although I've seen a "reputation" system and a "this post was rated helpful" system, that's not quite right because some posts aren't necessarily helpful so to speak and from what I've seen on other boards "reputation" ends up being taken too seriously, yet you'd like to give a quick "liked something about that post", which doesn't necessarily mean you liked all or even most of the post...just that there was something worth recognizing, ho…

I've put this up in the resular Bears talk section...but in case this comes in hand for anyone else... When replying to a post, make sure to put your reply above/before the initial post, and your first sentence will show up as the "title/description." I hope that helps!

For those who don't know the whole story, talkbears is a part of a larger network of sites. The vast majority of the posters that were here previously came over from the mother-site, Soxtalk.com. We have also created sites in the past for all of the major sports teams in Chicago, to varying degrees of success. If you all are interested, we would love to see people check them out and join. If I have your interest, take a look at the top of the page next to the TalkBears tab where you see the TalkChicagoSports tab. If you hover over it, there are links to the other Chicago sites. Enjoy.
