You silly people and your phones. How many times do I have to say it? Phones are for talking with people. Seriously! That's why they were made. So you could talk to people. Browsing the forums is for a PC, or ...(shudder) a Mac, if that's all you have. 
 

When your stuck on the ward with your pc restricted to work access, phones iz all we gotz.

This is interesting insight into the changes. I too primarily use the mobile version.

 

That said maybe it's a good thing people don't see my forum rep as a used car salesman as I've got a deal for them. Act now for only 1 billion influence can you get your very own mystery autographed screenshot of the login page. A very exclusive, very limited, one of a kind deal.

Now, I know there are others who post stuff just to talk or they are whimsical in their process to discuss things and they have high reps but, in their own way they contribute and face it, these people get those high numbers because other people like what their laying down.

 

I provide whimsy.

I work from home, so I have free license to use my desktop at any time..and do, lol. 

A shame I'm not smart enough to articulate clearly when I'm serious and when I'm being purposely obtuse for my own amusement.

As long as you're not being isosceles, I think we're okay.

Bear in mind reputation also takes into account the more negative reactions.. so I guess it’s open to interpretation what that reputation might be for 😅

So making people angry actually increases my rep?

 

Oh geez. No wonder why my rep count is so high.

Just like so many social aspects of the internet. "I win if you click. The fact you clicked due to being angry is even better since you are now emotionally invested."

[Cipher]

The reputation stat on posts was actually removed in Invision 4.6.x which we upgraded to last week. The reputation view that you see on posts now, in the desktop client anyways, is actually re-introduced through our custom forum theme, and was not re-added to the mobile theme because of other changes made there and lack of space in the current design.

just fyi (I agree with your point about reputation being highly subjective)

• the reputation count does not include confuse, sad, or thumb down. 
• 'reactions given' seems to reflect some recent time period rather than all time.
• post counts include deleted posts.. (I sometimes delete rather than edit because I don't like the edit note).

I want my knife reaction back! I earned it fair and square!

When the forum update hit a couple of days ago we had forum badges that were displayed.

 

Then crybabies cried that it'd create a class system where their precious opinions would be ignored because they weren't part of the Forum Illuminati, and they'd be gulaged, and it wasn't fair, etc, etc, etc.

 

So the devs canned the whole thing about 15 minutes later.

.

 

I liked the badge thingy. It was fun and it created all sorts of fun exchange between members on the forum.

 

Would have been fun to keep that system around.  On an old forum I visited, devs made badges for forum games.  Imagine that: the week before a major update, the devs would hide 20-ish Easter eggs in the forum and you'd get badges if you find them.  The buzz and activity it created was insane.

I find this ...kind of gross. I mean, I get it. It's handy (the phone), it's useful. Games, or perhaps email or other productive utility. But..the germs from the environment...oh my. Can't see 'em, (I hope) but you gotta know they're there. But that's probably more my inner germaphobe revealing itself. 

[Andreah]

Exploit the fact that your phone doesn't need to breathe! Put it inside a zip-lock baggie, use it through that, and then throw the bag away when you leave the bathroom. Solved!
