Announcement Time for some changes

[Ashley.S.]

Could they be deleted after say a month, generally these things are topical to the time they were posted.

As @Aviador said, members will have to self-regulate their storage and further details are here: https://forums4airports.com/threads/6428/. A further update will be made once the changes are live

The long awaited updates mentioned above will be taking place over the coming week or so. Nows your last chance to have your say before the changes go live. Please read the content of the full thread if you are not familiar with these changes.

The post reaction options have been changed.

Like now displays as Thanks
We frequently see people saying "I've liked your post for the information not for the content you provide us", so hopefully this change will more suit our content.

Love now displays as Great
Again, for the type of content we have the word great better suits the forum than the word love. Although love does work sometimes, the emotion better suits the word great.

LOL now displays as Funny
When people say LOL I always feel it is a little bit childish or potentially patronising if used incorrectly so I'm hopeful this change will better suit the forum.

WOW has become OMG
Minor change but better suits the emotion.

Sad has become Unhappy
A similar meaning but the word unhappy better suits the forum.

Angry is now Disappointed
I have felt this has needed changing for a long time. The word angry is a very strong word for the type of friendly content we generally seek. The word disappointed tones down an angry post and makes it less confrontational.

Got it, completely understand the storage concerns. I’ll be more mindful about what I upload from now on and stick to resized images or links where possible. Thanks for keeping the forum running smoothly!

Given that was your first post I don't think your uploads are a concern.

How about introducing yourself and taking part in one of the forums. Tell us a little about what brings you to Forums4airports, perhaps share some of your aviation related experiences.
