Like the good stuff
November 7, 2016
In our unrelenting pursuit to bring the best information to the forefront, we've integrated a 'liking' system into the Forum. Liking a post shows appreciation to the author (they get a profile notification), and helps other traders discover the post via the 'Most Liked' feed on the homepage and interior Forum pages. To like a post, just click the like icon () in it lower-right corner.
We also included a 'dislike' feature to minimize low-quality content. Clicking the dislike icon () collapses posts you don't want to see, and if a thread starter dislikes a post in their thread, it collapses it for everyone. This gives thread starters a lot more control over the quality of their thread.
The liking system is independent of the subscription system. Subscribing is for things that produce content (e.g., members, threads), and liking is for content that's static (e.g., replies, comments).
Liking is somewhat experimental at this stage – the effects will evolve as the feature is used more frequently, and we'll be adapting the system to ensure it remains an advocate for the discovery of high-quality content!

Emoji arrives
October 3, 2016
Emoji is sweeping the globe, and for good reason! It's specifically digital, facilitates expression, and breaks down language barriers. In other words, it's perfect for FF's global network of traders!
We've integrated emoji into Forum posts, Private Messages, and profile Shouts – emoji will work from either your phone's keyboard, or from the desktop-editor panel:
Have fun out there!
