Reorganization of September 29th, 2025

Destacado
Move the highlight buttons above the posts like 10 more pixels from the share button. My day cheeto-covered fingers keep accidentally mashing the share button, and no one in real life is interesting in the shit I'm reading on here
 
Another highlight request: I've asked about this before, but an option to also see highlights based on the number of "informative" reactions to a post, so that it's easier to cut through all the jokes and get straight to the information. The highlight mode could be switched by turning the little ribbon icon into a button, and having it activate a drop-down menu that allows you to select "info mode" or something.
 
Maybe it's just me but I'd prefer if Community Watch was split off from Lolcows again. I get merging things like Grift Wars, Internet Famous, and Lolcows as there was too much overlap with all the Internet Famous people being exposed as grifters and going full lolcow, but all of those are individuals while communities are more abstract and discussed differently than specific retards.
 
I'm not one to bitch about about the site and changes to it but merging everything into lolcows kinda sucks. It makes navigating the site and finding info on a specific topic more difficult. Anecdotal but I have had 2 irl friends tell me the only reason they don't use the Farms more is that its a pain in the ass finding the thread they want and the information they want in the thread. The improvements to the features function helps the thread problem but eliminating more categories kind of makes hitting the front page and looking for info on any one person more of a chore. The categories should be better defined, but there should be more sorting of threads on the front page.
 
Late (also gay) but I like the changes. In the past I have had times when I tried to remember whether a particular cow was in Grift Wars, Internet Famous, or Lolcows, so this merge makes a lot of sense.
 
Is there already a way to move the subject tag thingamees & flags to after the heading (or hide them completely) in our user account settings? I'm probably being blind. Scrolling down fast to find things is harder when the start of each heading is not uniform down the page particularly in A&N where there are a lot of them. Thanks
 
Thread tags being clearer. Most are fine but the humorous ones make searching through a bit of a chore with the new combined sub-boards. I’d rather they all have accurate descriptions than some being a haha funny.
 
Could there be a small header bar that sticks to the top of your screen as you scroll like this:

I'm going to start watching more threads and start using my notifications and watchlists to navigate after the reorganization. It would be nice to be able to read through new posts and be able to see at a glance if there are any new posts. Saving a bit of scrolling isn't a huge deal, but I think it could be a nice QoL improvement if it isn't a pain to implement.

The watched threads on your splash screen, I guess that's what's it's called, is great. Is there any way to make it so individual users can change how many show up on it for their account?

I think the thread tagging system has a lot of potential if it's use get's encouraged and functionality is expanded. It would need some oversight, maybe mod approved or a voting system. Users could filter the out threads they want to find in the larger subforums with a drop down or search bar. That sounds like it would be a lot of work and is more a pie in the sky thought than anything.
 
It might be helpful if the threads in the Stanchion sub-board got a banner at the top of each page, warning that new users can't post in the thread. I assume you plan to move threads in and out of there as needed, because of happenings or a big event for a particular lolcow. Having a noticeable, visual reminder will reduce confusion when people link directly to the thread and don't notice the forum breadcrumbs changed to the Stanchion.
 
I can't believe Chance Wilkins/Cyraxx hasn't been added to the Big Boys board. He is one of the premier LOLcows currently.
 
On the board index clicking a prefix automatically applies the filter for that prefix; can you also make it so that if you’re inside a thread, the prefix present in the thread title can be clicked to do the same thing? I think this would help make browsing specific categories smoother. I used to use the breadcrumbs to quickly jump from the thread I was on back to the board to go to another thread, and now it takes a few additional clicks to get back to the filtered category I was browsing. Thanks for your time
