As to my opinion on the issue, I am okay with whatever is decided. But, personally I see the value of a "Like" button just because of the reasons you've just stated. And, I never even think of needing a "Dislike" button. So, I guess that means I don't see the need for one. If you're going to differ or disagree with a post I expect you should be ready to briefly say why. Just "dislike" is not enough information to make it worth it. My 8 cents, anyway.

One suggestion I have, if it's possible.... could we get the option to hide the "community posts" on the sidebar. I'm not always the most up to date in my watching, so a lot of times I inadvertently see spoilers there even if I'm not reading the spoiler section. The spoilers could be things that have aired that I haven't watched yet or actual spoilers that are being discussed in that forum. Even just seeing the titles would be ok, but seeing the texts of the posts sometimes gives away too much. Not the biggest deal in the world, but it would be nice to be able to hide it.

 

I also had a question... is there a limit on how many posters can be added to a PM and is that expected to change?

I miss it too but I can see certain posters posting their pity party posts. I use to like putting birthday wishes on it. Now I just PM the birthday guy or gal.

I liked to post news about blu ray releases too something that's not covered on the boards.

1. I'm on multiple boards with only 'Like' buttons. It actually helps keep down thread size because you don't have multiple people quoting/repeating exactly the same thing. Every board I'm on eliminated the 'dislike' button years ago.

2. Reducing or eliminating footer pics. Some are just far too large, irrelevant and distracting to the conversation. This is the only board I'm on that permits pics in member footer. Pics are only permitted in your profile avatar.

Those changes sound very authoritarian. And give the pages in the varies threads a blandness. Not every posters can write an amazing post. A funny gif or pic pepper the threads a bit. Not saying the threads should be oversaturated with pics and gifs. Pretty much the only thread posters quote each other is the Days thread. The other 3 threads are usually dead.

Do you mean adding photos to the end of an individual post?

Or do you mean the signature line/pic of the poster that appear automatically under each of their posts (if a member has their account set up with a signature)?

I find signatures distracting too, if the pics are larger or if there is a lot of writing.  It interferes with my flow of reading the thread.  My fix: What I do is set up my *own* account settings to "not see other people's signatures".  That makes it much easier for me to read threads.

The only disadvantage to this: I was not able to see the Vault person's signature, so for a long time I didn't know what people were talking about. Finally I asked what is that, and they explained. So then, for one day, I enabled being able to see signatures - just so I could view that.    Then I switched it back.

I use to love having signatures to show support for my favorite character or couple but I kept getting warned that it was too big.  It got so bad that I was scared to come to the boards because I was afraid I'd get another pop up PM warning me about them so I just gave up having one.

I've noticed several signatures that are way too big and are still on posters posts. I guess they never got warned about it.

      Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.

      I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube.

      Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny with back polka dots on black background) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.

      Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her

      @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      Jonathan Kellerman is definitely the most EON/Slesar-like writer in the business right now.  Unfortunately, he's almost 80 years old.  Interestingly, he has a son (Jesse Kellerman) who's about 45, who's been studying under him.  I believe what makes the Kellermans such effective mystery & crime writers is their background in psychology.
