Maybe I misunderstand. But if I was a new member and I didn't know who knew what they were talking about and who didn't, being able to check the user votes percentage might be a pretty useful metric....

I guess, but without some degree of feedback, nothing can ever improve.

The "new" buttons that just started showing up suck. They are annoying to look at and they are unnecessary and they serve little purpose. I can already tell which threads I looked at and I don't care...

Learning daniweb's posting guidelines is useful to your major? What about reading comprehension?
