  1. If somebody simply votes "thumbs up", you're not getting much of an opinion. Quote True, poorly worded on my part. I just think it allows a running tally of +1s and -1s without a bunch of wasted posts.
  2. -1 I think you missed my point. I want people opinions, not fifty +1s and rarely do people keep posting +1 after 3 or 4 and it's not anonymous. I think it's a way of drawing feedback from a passive audience, whether that feedback is going to be beneficial is debatable.
  3. What web site do you think has a good example of a voting system that works? Just curiousQuote I was thinking about news websites that allow comments on articles and thumbs up/down on the comments. The comments have the thumbs up thumbs down icons.
  4. Registered for a month. and yes I figured out how I'd like things to be and wondered if anyone thinks the same.
  5. Shit I should have added "Neither". Don't know how to edit that. Mod help :(
  6. With the thumbs up thumbs down tally, I think we'd get an better idea of what the thoughts are among the people who view the threads but rarely reply. Or in the case of a bonfire conversation it's nice to see if links, pictures, jokes are getting a good response etc. Instead of having the same vocal experienced people (not that there is anything wrong with that, thanks guys) arguing with the douche who wants to downsize his camera or ignore his canopy on the skydive cause he has less than 200 jumps, it would help to see that 400 people think it's a bad idea and it's not just someone with a green name who thinks there a moron. On the flip side, you may get thumbs up from people without experience who have no business giving a thumbs up. But it's just a source of information to be filtered just like comments/opinions in posts. Ideally I'd like to see "You're a fucking moron" icon I can click cause that's how I feel when I am reading some of this shit, but a thumbs down will suffice.
  7. Don't know if any of these are easy to implement. So I was thinking it would be nice to have the option to click a thumbs up thumbs down icon to a post. Instead of just replying +1. and Jump numbers at time of post. A lot of threads get revived and also when doing searches you're often reading things from 2005. It would be nice to have the context. I say that cause I'll be reading some rubbish and see the person has 1500jumps but the post was 5 years old.
  8. I cock it right after I lay the folded canopy down and before I put the canopy in the D-Bag, same time I change any elastics if need be . Just once. The way I pack my pilotchute, insures that it is cocked, I lay it out ZP side down and I pull the bridle attachment point to the outside edge, you can't do that if it's not cocked, then fold the pilotchute in half and I finish folding yada yada. I use to never care too much about the window cause I figured after 12 inches of cock, 1 inch more or less won't make a hell of a difference. But started paying attention on every pin check cause I do get packers from time to time and shouldn't get complacent because of the way I pack my pilotchute.
