Hmmm, I kinda see your point. The idea MAD and whoever thought up is good, because we now know what ideas need a good looking at. But the way it is done isn't very helpful. Perhaps a PM or a message at the top of the forum, which can be hidden with one click would be better? vB does have some strange features..
I don't honestly see the problem with it, it's just asking you to view a thread, you don't have to do anything with it, but it allows users to see. I'm sure if a message appeared or we mass PM'ed everyone people would probably complain.
We can't seem to win with what we do, but I believe that the feature won't be used so much anymore, as two were for April Fools and one was to show the new feature poll. Just so happened they were close together.
At least you can't say "I didn't see it!"
It doesn't really bother me but I think it could get annoying if it keeps happening lol
I love the fact that members are being allowed to give their opinion and vote on issues :)
I am not a fan of having threads forced on people and the reason for that is if say 70% of people are not bothered either way about your vote I would guess a high number of them will vote for anything or vote stupidly and could potentially damage what the outcome would/should be.
I like the idea of a pm maybe to all users who have been on the forum in the past month if it was possible.
Meh, I say keep it as it is, if people get a mass pm they'll complain about that, so you can't win.
At least we can choose not to recieve admin pm's so maybe a way of choosing not to see these threads?
Forcing people to see threads isnt good but i also agree with somebody back ^ that others will complain that they never noticed a vote.
Anybody not interested in these threads vote the bottom answer each time ;)
