I am impressed of how fast you suddenly are able to get things done. What changed?
Thank you for those great (community) implementations and fixes.
Great job guys and amazing turnaround.
I also love the new way you are displaying important posts.
Yes, this had to be done a year ago, slowly but at least they're working on it. They could have every week a poll or something like that to bring at least one fix-update everyweek.
Maybe they will! Let's give them credit when it is due.
46,864 SP with 100% power.... Yeah great job..... lol
who
steemitblog https://steemd.com/@steemitblog
Yeah... Well it's a drop in the bucket compared to their other accounts.
lol great.... so they are doing nothing to distribute the steem currency?
They delegate to many projects that give out upvotes.
They sell! :)
I wouldn't say "nothing".
lol, Also a good feature for this downvote thing would be for the authors not to show up anymore on my account after I downvote them.
I wonder if all the people worshiping this moronic "change" are true believers or just bots?
There is a good way to get rid of "featured posts" - it's known as don't look at Steemit...
I am totally a robot. Thank you for noticing.
In addition, I always support everything steemit, inc does..... just ask them.
I see from your rep you like to trigger reactions and that often you get one.
:)
I KNEW you were a bot.
In fact, I've said so to you many times on Discord!
One day I said something that offended he who cannot be mentioned and in 5 mins my account was over and out - flagging maintains someones "standards" I'm sure...
was it @berniesanders or @nextgencrypto?
Visibility of the icons is poor in day mode. They need to be thicker and/or darker.
That's what she said.
Can you add a lovevote button just for me @ steemitblog?
We’ve talked about the idea of adding reactions in the past. With hivemind, now that could be a possibility at some point.
Fantastic! But can you move the downvote button to the right side of the payout amount? Makes more sense visually, and is harder to accidentally downvote.
Especially on mobile (accidentally down-voting)
@steemitblog,
For me it's not the downvote, I wanna see that new update of SMT and MIRA! Anyway good job!
Cheers~
When most people run a poll, they run it for more than 23 hours. So even if the majority did not want it this still would likely have gone through, and the change made.
Also since it was such a simple fix, perhaps moving the downvote arrow to the other side of the pending payout would be a simple thing to accomplish.I know there is a pop up box, I know it is impossible to downvote accidentally, (you have to click twice, first the arrow then the submit button), still it would look more balanced to have it on the other side of the pending payout.
THIS! Move it to the other side.
I believe it was 47 hours, but, support in favor of this was overwhelming as expected. It’s not the first time this topic has come up.
"support in favor of this was overwhelming as expected"
As expected, or as designed?
Support was manufactured. Anyone with any brain can see that, and it's recorded forever on the 'chain. Shame on those responsible for this nonsense.
Right .. i'm sure that Steemit Inc ran around bribing folks to respond to the poll so it would be an overwhelming response in favour of the change. get real
Read my comment again, it had nothing to do with bribes. Get real.
maybe you need to find a sense of humour if you're capable
So your response wasn't serious, then? Why'd you bother chiming in? We're having an actual conversation. Did it appear I was kidding around?
you're comments were silly enough you should have been kidding around. Steemit Inc is under no obligation to you or anyone else to even run a poll on changes they want to make to their site.
When they do choose to .. how long they run it is up them not you or anyone else.
Your implications that the support was created rather than actual response from the community is beyond silly.
BRIBES? Why was I not bribed? I didn't even KNOW about the poll. Alas, I guess that's because I don't count. How many MORE people didn't get a chance to vote because they also didn't know about the vote/receive a bribe?
I found out about the "poll" because of a steemian I follow had resteemed it.
Uh huh... but why was the poll not listed in the sidebar like all the other announcements of importance? And why was it done in 48 hours?
I have a suggestion for another poll: Put my icon back where it was so I need not scroll up each time to expose my icon so I can click it to see the drop-down list. Sure, real estate is valuable, but hiding an important and frequently-used button is just plain inconvenient and perhaps even frustrating for some who are confused about where that button went to and how to get it back.
I use that button constantly to check for new replies and it adds one more barrier to access when I need to scroll up before each time I want to use it.
Good point on having to scroll up if we want access to the header. What kind of useless idea is that? Just one more step, that has to be repeated dozens of times per day. Another upgrade that isn't really an upgrade.
yeah.... weird how that works... not everyone is going to learn about what is going on unless they go looking or follow the steemitblog ... following the steemitblog works really well assuming you look at it when it posts.
Well - spammers pay to send me stuff in a transfer, and if steem actually wanted my attention they could (and would) pay for it like they do.
Yeah a slight adding mistake on my part, 2 days does indeed equate to 48 hours, I know I have seen the topic come up several time in the past, and recently. It is mostly a GUI type fix, still to ask people and make them think they might have a real say in how the interface looks, is pretty disingenuous in my book, because this looks like it was a done deal before the polling post was even made.
I myself prefer the flag, my view was it is more of a warning by using a flag, but understand that the vast majority felt it should be a down arrow. I am glad that presidential elections are not made by polls, because they have almost always been wrong at the early stages of the polling.
People referred to it as a down vote and so an arrow it is. No real problem with that at all. I am not likely however to participate in any other polls by steemitblog because I now see them as worthless and meaningless.
Very nice. Love the animation on the upvote button.
Have the Steem, SBD, BTC & ETH prices been removed on the right hand side? All I see is pinned posts and an advertisement now.
let me test the downvote animation here...
Haha, go for it.
Toxic place, full of toxic people, circle jerking, pretending to agree, makes me want to vomit, you made a toxic system, where mediocrity is rewarded via so called networking, great work morons, enough of this place. Powering down to nil, you made a shit show, the price reflects it, all alt coins up, stincs shit down, any questions?
What the heck, who hurt you?
Magic Dice has rewarded your post with a 86% upvote. Thanks for playing Magic Dice.
You have receive an upvote. Thanks for playing moonSTEEM
Did you have a nice day?
My life is superb, this place is toxic, and the wankerwolf, bernie, marky, and neds crew all prove it, I rest my case, hows Spain treating you bro?
I kind of agree. I just want to use this platform as a cool place to share photography, but the majority of people here just want to sit in little circles and discuss nothing but the platform itself.
And you can't share photography because of that? I do that on a daily basis. Why not start a conversation about something else yourself? Why does it bother you what other people are talking about? Where else can you be rewarded for photography like this? The internet is packed with great photography. Really great photographs are like tap water. Yet, you seem to be doing quite well for yourself.
Besides, everyone is a stakeholder here, so can you blame people for talking about the platform they own?
Spring is here :)
I'm still holding onto the sunshine but it could be the UK again in a few months, sadly. Need cash money though while things pick up again.
Oh dear, that would be the last place I would want to be with the current political correctness climate, needs must though, or look east bro, the weather is superb, and the ladies are very (not politically correct) yummy.
Well, at least all of you are yelling about nothing. Here in Latin America we are one step from hell. Believe me, Latin America is the last place you want to be right now.
Then come on over to the east, funds permitting of course, and yes, you are correct, steemit means zero to us.
Listen to him @abh12345 and the cost of living is much cheaper.....Go East young man, your calling awaits :-)
heh :)
I am tempted, and with a little more finance I likely would - perhaps in a year or two.
LOL
Yeah that made me laugh too :)
The downvote button works!
PS: I'm not arguing that Steem has lost a tremendous amount of value, while some other coins went the opposite way (missed deadlines of Steemit Inc - as in not having SMTs, communities etc. ready, def has something to do with it), but I disagree with your way of voicing your opinion on a post, which is actually something really positive by Steemit Inc. Which is why I "downvoted" it.
PS2: I didn't mean to hide your comment.

I've come to realize that Steemit is a perfect reflection of the American/Israeli flavour of the Anglo-Zionist System/Mindset.
The 1% of the1% of the 1% control everything and are a trillion times more over-powered than your everyday normal blogger/commenter.
They sell it as "freedom and democracy", well this is what American/Steemit freedom looks like:
We are the top-abusers, we behave like a maffia, we lie, we cheat, we steal, we make the law, but we are above the law and if you don't go with us we will downvote you so long as is necessary to remind you of the glory of the American/Steemit experiment.
That's why everybody has run away from this place. This place is run by Anglo-Zionist nazis with an Anglo-Zionist mindset and a socio-economic model copied from the American Dream or the Far West.
I wonder if Dan Larimer was the guy who devised all these things. If so, he either he is a deep state agent or his brain was so washed by the American bullshit that he was programmed to mimic the appalling American system.
Since almost all the world hates the Americans, or fears them, no wonder this is what Steemit has become:
Bingo! Ding ding ding!
You got it @pagandance
"Computer programmer Dan Larimer used to be a cog in America's military-industrial complex, working on defense projects, drones and unmanned vehicles for companies like Raytheon and Torc Robotics. "

LOL no worries.
Testing my new downvote on Mrs. negative here, this was the first positive move I have seen from Steemit in months, and you still had to pooh pooh it
@Steemitblog,
[Edit] The positioning of the upvote/downvote buttons seems too close. I think the downvote button could find its place in between the payout and no. of upvotes to avoid error due to parallax.
Do we still get a warning maybe though, who will try it first to see 😂
Posted using Partiko Android
You still get a downvote reason box, and you still need to click the submit button on it, so impossible to accidentally downvote using the steemit front end, I have no clue or idea if this change impacts the other front ends So since you use Partiko you may want to ask them or try it out on one of the steemit blogs, like the 2 day poll post.
Hahaha, it's better tried on @Steemitblog's blog
