What's the Deal with Negative Reaction Scores?

[Rive]

I see, there are some new features too, right?

 

[Frabjous]

I’ve never seen a negative reaction score before.

I thought they were only additive.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

I am seeing some new posts with missing content, seems to be images or video.

Most recent is https://www.physicsforums.com/posts/7057407, where the initial text shows but the rest of the rather large message frame is blank.

Hope this isn't a case of "Advance To The Rear."

This is a Twitter embed. I think a problem with your old browser.

Nope post and reaction score have been there for many years

... With negative score?

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

... With negative score?

Yup, there is a single emoji that is a negative

 

[Rive]

I did not know that, realy ...

 

[pinball1970]

I did not know that, realy ...

Where is it? The seven reactions I get are: Thumbs up, Hearts for eyes, holding heart, laughing head, Amazed head, sad head and holds chin head.

Like, love, care, funny , wow , sad and skeptical.

No negative thumb up.

Yep, well 9 years on the site I never knew that.

Did it do it?

I guess, it did.

I upvoted you for your trouble

 

[berkeman]

Where did you see this? Is it a screenshot while using your phone? The format does not match what I see when using my laptop browser...

The topic of this thread from the forum front page is "negative reaction score" but the title of this thread seems to be "Small PF Update this Weekend".

How odd.

It will be fixed in update?

I merged two threads, actually, I should just spun the posts off, one sec

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

what will be fixed?

 

[pinball1970]

what will be fixed?

Your update, I thought it was one of those little glitches you mentioned.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

No it's not a glitch, we've had a negative reaction for 10 years

 

[pinball1970]

No I meant the thing Vanadium50 mentioned about the Title being different to the thread.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

That was just a cache. I merged two threads.

Entirely possible...
Going directly to Twitter gets a "...browser no longer supported." message.

And the link in https://www.physicsforums.com/posts/7057724 to
shows no response at all.

Oh well.

Where is it? I guess im missing what were talking about.

Hovering over "Like" in your post 23, I see this

 

[Tom.G]

Where is it?

It is the Sad emoji.
I tested it on Greg's account by giving a Skeptical emoji, checking number of Likes, then trying the Sad emoji and checking Likes again.

Huh? I thought it was the skeptical?

 

[Rive]

It is the Sad emoji.

That's kind of a surprise. I tend to use 'Sad' as 'yeah, that's really sad' about the content reported in the other comment: in that rare case when the other content is just not right it's the 'Skeptical'...

But this way now it feels like beating the messenger, and I did it some times already
Sorry, my bad

Me too!

 

[Frabjous]

If I press like and reload the page, the score changes.
If if press sad or skeptical and reload the page, the score remains the same. Is there a time lag?

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

ha, I took a look at the backend and I was wrong. At some point early on skeptical was negative, but we must have changed it because I see neutral.

Just tried it. Sad is not taking a point off you.

Sad is also neutral @Greg Bernhardt?

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Right, I was wrong, there is no negative emoji.

 

[Frabjous]

Revisiting the beginning of the thread, how did someone get a negative score?
