--- Quote ---as long as it doesn't interfere with the rest of the contents I'd just hide the above like I normally do --- End quote --- Disabling it for oneself it trivial (actually, just ignoring it - it's not big). But this is about it being visible to everyone else, and no amount of HTML hacking is going to change it for them, despite your skillz :) |

Yes I know I can't fix it for everyone else but myself as I tend to get very distracted by things including the recent rise in decorations that appear and annoy me like the stuff on this Pastebin list: https://pastebin.com/sCrFH1Rc Unfortunately some things I can't hide if they have child elements that I may depend on. I do have a text file I edit which is set as local network blocklist so it updates automatically across computers, different browsers and profiles. |

While software may be more popular, electronics is more foundational. Electronics is the foundation of almost all modern technology. You can't build a building without aids from modern electronics. You can hardly name any modern complex devices that doesn't use electronics. I am no expert in electronics, I come here to learn. I read this forum regularly and shared what I know as others shared their knowledge with me. Sometimes I am wrong and others corrected me and as a result, I became more knowledgeable. StackExchange (or the likes) may be a better Q&A place, this is a great place to gain more understanding. There is a huge difference in having the answer verses understanding the problem and the solution. Here, one may not get an answer but one can gain understanding. Not being an electronics expert or electronics professional, and hardly a hobbyist as my ancient eyeballs don't work so well any more. Reading about electronics interests me. I suppose it is like a monk reading Playboy magazine -- may not be able to do a whole lot but it is stimulating. I assume there are many more like me. Yeah, there may be more software people out there, but keep the main focus on electronics. I suspect many others similar to me learned and appreciated this forum, (while may or may not click "say thanks" enough). |

It doesn't really make much difference to me. I think it was always available on the member's profile for anybody who actually wanted to look. |

I don't mind and appreciate when thanked by someone that was actually helped by my posting. I do the same. However putting the thank counter upfront like that will serve the kharma seeking people that feed on it. I am sure we all noticed some posters that milk the system to burnish their image and this will only embolden them. Quantity is not necessarily equal with quality or vice versa. |
