    On a total side note, how do you see your stats that you are all talking about (how many hugs, likes, etc)? And I agree I miss the awesome button.

    It's at the top of your notifications page on the website, not sure on mobile.

    ETA: Oh yeah, it's at the top of your notifications page on mobile too. If you click through to the page with the list of all of the responses in threads you're in, you'll find all your totals there.

    Maybe I am not looking at the right thing but when I click on notification under community it says "you do not have any notifications" then "notification preferences" is there something I am missing?

    Click "all notifications". Your profile should open up with your number of posts, discussions, points, and under that is the number of reactions you got to your posts.

    If you don't have any notifications then "all notifications" doesn't show up on the mobile version. Tagging you @Fitnessgirl0913 so you have a notification.

    Also, that my 4,691 Awesomes have now turned into Hugs instead is rather off-putting. I don't hug random strangers in real life, either.

    @snickerscharlie I've suddenly got 1,800 hugs and now feel a little bit weirded out.

    Well, I've personally been de valuing my
    past awesomes by hugging the most egregiously woo worry posts I spot :lol:

    In any case, we are on positive only trends here.

    Personally, I think that "disagree" is much more appropriate and less judgemental, thus ultimately, less un-positive.

    Disagree just means disagree with no inherent un-positive judgements!

    I could just disagree because I have a personal preference for blue as opposed to pink.

    Or because I think you're a misguided *kitten*.

    But you have no way of knowing my secondary thoughts, only the fact that for some strange reason we don't both agree with whatever *kitten* you just spouted!

    Disagree: indicates the non value laden non espousal of the content of the referenced post.

    :wink:

    YES YES YES

    I don't usually mess with the "ratings" or whatever they are called. I did on occasion give people a "woo" in the NSV and other success threads because I thought it was a positive thing. (very few times)

    If you look at the HTML code of the web page it says:
    <a class="Hijack ReactButton ReactButton-WTF" href="/en/react/comment/wtf?id=41055545"
    tabindex="0" title="Woo" data-reaction="wtf" rel="nofollow">
    <span class="ReactSprite ReactWTF"></span> <span class="ReactLabel">Woo</span></a>
    
    It was changed from "WTF" to "woo", after looking at the code I think it is suppose to be negative reaction to the comment.

    To all the people I wooed in the success stories, the NSV threads etc. I am sorry. I meant "woo-hoo", not anything negative.
    But in all seriousness, those things at the bottom of the message shouldn't bother you one way or the other.

    I've never posted anything that could be construed as pseudoscience or anything "too good to be true" and yet I have several "woo" reactions. I don't know what to think of it. I think it is confusing.

    A lot of people think it means "WooHoo!", so take it as a compliment :)
