New Kudos View - Like it or Hate it?

Question

https://gmatclub.com/forum/download/file.php?id=16900 We have added a view of Total Kudos given within the thread to be visible in each Forum. Curious about any feedback - do you find it helpful or cluttered? The idea was to help you find the most Kudos'ed threads easily and find the best content faster. How do we calculate the numbers by those little thumbs? Those are Kudos points awarded by members to all posts within the thread. Want to learn about Kudos ? Appreciate any feedback, Best Regards, Your humble servant. BB. Below is an example of how the Support Forum looks with the Kudos thumbs highlighted kudos-view.png 1291131680_two-thumbs-up.jpg

I really liked it. If the thread author is BB, Bunuel, GMATLA or a couple of other heavy guys and there is a few kudos you can be sure that is good crap :-D

I could see it being useful in the GMAT forums, it may give people a better idea of the more popular review materials. It would be more useful if there was a way to sort by it though.

wallstreetbarbie · Answer

Looks like it is no longer displaying kudos in forum view... or I need glasses :shock:

Bunuel · Answer

The ability to sort topics by Kudos is coming soon.

bb · Answer

Please see this example/screenshot for the Support Forum: forum5/ Please PM if for some reason you are still not seeing this. Thank you.

As always, the efforts placed by you are a great support to the community. The unconditional services done by you people for improvement are worth acknowledging.
I have a query, Is there a way one can find if a post has an experts(legends like Bunnel) reply?

bb · Answer

We have added the Expert reply in the Math Forums to test the functionality out and will be rolling it out to other forums later on: gmat-quantitative-section-7/ is this what you meant?

rajeevrks27 · Answer

Hey bb, thanx for the prompt reply. yeah, this is what i wanted. It would be a great help to all of us.
Thanx and regards

rajeevrks27 · Answer

one more thing related to EXPERTS REPLY, Don't you think it would be better to place the two words(EXPERTS REPLY) under a separate column. I think the present way is disturbing the uniformity and appearance.(sorry, my personal opinion though).

bb · Answer

Thank you. Good idea. 
Let me play with it a bit (I am not a big fan of adding another column) but if we can make it look good, then absolutely!!!

AbhiJ · Answer

No need to add an additional column, just add the icon to right side, instead of left.

rajeevrks27 · Answer

yeah, even onto right side also it will look neat.

lamanxa · Answer

Hello guys, I don't know if it is the expected behavior but I can't see the kudos information on the the Active Discussions session of the forum.

Regards

bb · Answer

Good point! I don't think these show up on the search pages in general or the tags pages such as Hard PS Questions . I will put in a request to add these! (probably a day if it is easy or a week if it is hard)

method · Answer

I think having it on the left is actually a distraction and it takes me longer to look for threads.

bb · Answer

Thank you for the input Method!
I think I'd like to test it/see it when it is in the right area too!

bb · Answer

Option 1

bb · Answer

Option 2

GreginChicago · Answer

I definitely prefer the option with the tag on the right. It's a much cleaner look.
Don't really see what the difference between Option 1 and option 2 is?
Actually, I feel that you could even just have the logo and the text 'Expert Only' on hover only.
