Boards PSA - Hovering over thread votes will show vote breakdowns

ModWuks··45 votes·15,511 views
Vote breakdown

As of the recent version 4.1.0.3 updates, you can now hover over the area where votes are displayed to show the breakdown of updown and downvotes on a thread.

Also of note, I’m aware of a bug where it only displays the breakdown of threads on the first page of any Board Index page; this bug has already been resolved and will go out in the next update.

As always, we’re receptive to ideas that you have regarding updates to the Boards, so don’t hesitate to make a post in Discuss the Boards or message us in the NA Boards Discord.

Cheers!

I think it's quite ok - but I don't see the benefit of it outside of knowing how polarizing a thread is?

If I post a thread that I know will be fairly controversial, +11/-10 is much more rewarding to see than +1/-0

These changes will do more to give each individual vote value, rather than simply one upvote cancelling out one downvote, and vice versa. Sometimes the most polarizing threads foster great discussions, and it may be hard to tell when a thread seems to only have 2 votes.

now that's neat

but that means more follow up post from people checking their post seeing like 10 upvotes and 3 downvotes, and going on a tangent on who disagreed with them. this is going to be more entertaining

I think this definitely is a good idea and shows that people take interested or interact with the topic.

You can also submit your ideas in this Discord server we made for the sole purpose of discussing Boards improvement ideas:

EDIT: And as an update, vote breakdown viewing will be available in the next update!

A recent update had broken this feature within BEK, so we went ahead and implemented it natively to the Boards- not only because it was a long-existing feature within BEK, but also because it really does help make each vote matter.

Pretty cool!

You should honestly just implememt B.E.K / F.E.K as the actual site lol.

ModWuks2 votes

There are a number of reasons why we can't simply roll BEK into the Boards, but that's a discussion for another time.

Terozu1 votes

Yeah I know, in addition to the fact that their entire code is just an extension and would probs need an entire rewrite there's also a ton of issues with Riot having limits on the site itself you have to work around. Such as localisation, costs and others.

This was mostly a joke, glad to finally have this feature on base site, and i dont mean to rush you since im sure this was hard enough to get through, but any chance of getting it on mobile soon?

As far as I'm aware, it should work if you just tap the voting area. Is it not working for you?

Terozu1 votes

Where should I tap? I tried the number.

This is what I see on my end:

What mobile device and browser are you using?

Terozu1 votes

Oh i thought it was like BEK and you could do it on every vite, not just front page. After checking front page works.

ModWuks1 votes

Ah, yeah; votes within threads will be coming in the next update if all goes well.

Is this only on the green vote count section? Or could I for example, look at my previous posts in my history and see the ratio?

ModWuks1 votes

It'll only show on sub-board index pages, which means it won't show on your Boards Profile or within threads (yet).

Doesn’t work on mobile :thinking:

If you tap the voting section of a thread, it doesn't switch over to show the vote breakdown? What device are you using?

It appears to be working on both Chrome and Safari browsers on my iPhone.

It's not working for me. Any advice?

ModWuks1 votes

Can you provide a screenshot of what you're seeing and what sub-board(s)/thread(s) you're trying?

Kairoptra1 votes

Never mind, it’s working

ModWuks1 votes

Sweet! Glad to hear it!

Yea i noticed this. Pretty innovative to be honest.

ModWuks1 votes

I won't take credit for the idea; FEK/BEK has had it way before I was able to add it to the Boards :P

rtbf2256182411 votes

I only said it was innovative. ;)

GhaelWinds1 votes

How does one see it for mobile?

Edit: I tried the tapping thing and it isn't working on my Android using The Samsung Internet thing.

ModWuks1 votes

We'll be rolling out a few updates to this feature in the near future, so hopefully that resolves any issues you may be having. If not, I can definitely work with you to try to figure out what's going on!

If you break it down further, you discover that 100% of down votes on threads criticising AD/Supports come from hard-stuck Silver Janna mains.
