Introducing AIBU voting

I quite like it. I've had it a few times now, and sometime you do just want to say YANBU but have nothing to add; it means you can do that quickly, but that's wheree my reservations lie.

It facilitates knee-jerk reactions and encourages people not to read the thread, so if the OP adds something pertinent in a later post there is no way of changing your vote should you want to. So a pp could easily be very upset, post immediately, get loads of negative votes so she sees that the majority think she's being UR, but with the later posts, it turns out she isn't at all.

That's OK if the subject isn't serious, but sometimes it is very serious indeed.

So I'm 50/50.

I like it!

Looking at the snapshot poll and then the comments with the wider context, makes interesting reading.

Think it’s fab👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I like it. 👍

Just seen it on the thread someone linked to on here. It don’t half look embarrassing. It looks chunky and a bit crap really. Why is this needed?

(Monosyllabic enough for you?)

I have it. I've used it. What's the actual point of it? I'd rather have my read threads changing colour function back. Please fix it!

Can't see it on the app.

There needs to be a 'changed my mind' button as well. I clicked the wrong one and now want to change it but can't.

Not liking these at all. Incredibly annoying when looking down the list of AIBU threads. I’m actually not clicking on threads which have this function as I find them so intrusive

Fuck, that's annoying.

Just came across it for the first time. Don't like it.

I long for a properly functioning Advanced Search.
Me too!

Agreed soupdragon,advanced search desperately needs fixing,I wonder if not many use it since the site has grown ,so it's not a top priority?
It's one thing that's been asked for repeatedly.

It was an interesting exercise though because 1543 (or thereabouts) voted but only 258 commented. Do you think that ticks the box for increasing participation (or whatever it is MNHQ is trying to achieve?) And throughout the evening the 91% to 9% has remained the same.

Did people vote on the title or the OP or RTFT?

It also didn't prevent the repetitive nature of the thread though - same comments again and again.

And you can vote more than once on different devices.

I long for a properly functioning Advanced Search.

Now we need a like button too. I long for a like button.

@Sparklingbrook

here's mine At last count 1473 had voted, 91% said I was BU. Obviously only 9% voted correctly

Has anyone else found AIBU pages really slow to load since this was introduced? To the point my browser (Chrome) gives a pop-up asking if I want to continue waiting for the page or kill it?

I like the new feature, but not at this cost!

They asked opinions. They could have just done it and not asked opinions! And I would have done exactly what you say @LimeKiwi

I have seen about 2 with voting on. Where are they all?

God, there's some moaners, if you don't like, don't enable the feature for yourself, you don't have to, it's not the law. Or scroll by the ones that say vote.

It’s about the most boring thing you could think of.
Did you do an ideas raffle and the 15 year old work experience win ?

It's quite interesting but not as interesting as the discussion itself. I quite like seeing what "most" people think though.
I do agree that some questions can't be answered quite so simply, but lots can.

I do keep expecting some sort of "winner" announcement or something to "happen" with all the voting though. Like "the most reasonable/ unreasonable member of the day" award Maybe they could win a prize, that might make it worthwhile!
