And there's the problem. Just because someone says like or thanks doesn't' t make a post credible. The information could be wrong and you could still get likes and thanks. I've seen that on other BBs and just shake my head. And what if you have 2posts that contradict each other but both get likes/thanks.

Also TB neither implemented nor killed the rating feature years ago. Randy did.

Evidently Ib has been working on news concept for a while and not in response to a TB request.

Speaking only for myself I'd much rather they put their efforts into a decent mobile app given how many people now access websites, bbs that way, vs doing news or like. Having a decent mobile app would benefit more of our 500,000 members than news or like.

Ok I'm off to bed for the night.

Cheers.
