[Mr Tidy]

I have had an F33 (440i), an E92 (Alpina B3), an F31 (didn't like it) and two Z4s (not mine; the wife's) since 2021. I only have a Z3 as it is the 'vehicle' for my project.
Not a BMW fan TBH. I am a fan of this forum, though. You all listen to my nonsense with only a 'roll of the eyes' at worst.

I'd obviously forgotten those others, but then you change them so often!

But I enjoy your "input". :roll: :lol:

 

[buzyg]

Quoting is now more difficult as the “like” is in the way :rofl:

 

[firebobby]

I think a 'don't like' would possibly get greater use.
Especially if i could set it to auto-reply to Pondrew

Won't Ha ha, Sad and Angry cover most situations?

O yeah

 

[firebobby]

Lol, I haven’t had a Z4 since 2015!

The year I got our Zed

 

[Fred Smith]

That is exactly what I am referring to Fred. But I also think it is really important to encourage debate. I am 80 now and truthfully I don’t find it easy to make change. But I do try to keep an open mind. My two granddaughters, both at university, keep me right and soon let me know when my dinosaur mentality rises to the surface.

Yep! Getting stuck in our ways is inevitable, but it is not all bad. So long as you keep your eyes open, try to keep up a bit, AND you're stuck in the ways that you've worked out are good for you, then great.

Also well worth remembering that not all new things and ideas are good. Sometimes when they accuse you of being a dinosaur it might be that your dinosaur ideas are actually spot on, and the new ideas being spouted by 20 year olds whose brains are not yet fully developed (happens at around 25) might be utter rubbish.

Thnx for the changes…in terms of the emojis may I suggest not just replicating the FB ones but many forums have for example tick to reflect agreement which is different from like ..and cross to signify disagreement but not shock or anger in a poster reply..amongst other emojis

You sound like me.

I dunno... these reactions are familiar to people, hence sticking with them (they are the defult for the plugin). Not sure I see the need to change them tbh.

Understood…the problem with ‘like’ is…

Does it mean I agree with what is said
Does it mean that I did this myself
Does it mean I just like the comment

Etc

But I guess we mustn’t be greedy…after all these years.. :tumbleweed: :rofl:

 

[sp3ctre]

Guess you could say the same for a tick though :?

You sound witty, cool and intelligent, with great taste

I think it means a generic I agree / you have my support / I like this post. Comment if you want to be specific!

If your opinion doesn't match any of the above you could always do what we've been happily doing for years.................... take 2 minutes and type an answer. oke:

Cause ..suppose someone says something profound, accurate that needs no further embellishment ..then 23 people going ‘tick’ is better than 23 people adding nothing but ‘I agree.’but..even worse repeating / droning on in a tedious and cluttering .. :tumbleweed: oke: :rofl:

 

[Pondrew]

Don't worry Pete, it won't be a problem for you! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

 

[enuff_zed]

.suppose someone says something profound, accurate that needs no further embellishment

Then a banal 'tick' does not convey an appropriate level of admiration for the poster's profundity.
I would much rather profoundly agree.
I don't want to succumb to the 21st Century shorthand thank you. I am quite capable of stringing together a coherent sentence. (Dependent on quantity of Merlot consumed :wink: )

 

[Crazy Harry]

B21 if 23 people typed 'I agree' we'd be on the wrong forum. Most comments responding to my posts are a piss take by someone else :lol:
