Show: Demoted, Promoted, and TOTAL vote counts!

280 points posted to IdeaStorm by phubert 10/12/07

You now show the TOTAL count above the PROMOTE button...

Based on input from WINOFFICE, let -us- suggest:

* Show PROMOTED -above- the Promote button
* Show DEMOTED -below- the Demote button
* Show the TOTAL -between the Promote and Demote buttons

NOTE: to clarify -
1) You already 'know how' to display a count above one of these buttons.
2) You already collect BOTH counts
3) collect the counts SEPARATELY (2 counters, not one)
4) Display EACH above their respective BUTTONS

PLEASE DO THIS!

10/12/07		 Yes, I have a similar post... but I really can't see why this is any less than a slam dunk in terms of technical difficulty.
You ALREADY do this for the PROMOTED count above the PROMOTE button - COPY IT!!!!

10/12/07		 Please stop HIDING -positive- votes when the total is negative!

10/15/07		 The number above the "promote" button is not the amount of promotions, but the amount of promotions AFTER subtracting the amount of demotions, and then multiplied by 10.

10/17/07		 yes, I realize that... and noted the same in another suggestion post regarding this... just thought the idea needed more visibility, my NOTE: to clarify, I think does just that... specifies what I think should be displayed (and how).
winoffice
10/25/07		 What I suggest - the PROMOTED count should be ABOVE the PROMOTE button, the DEMOTED count should be BELOW the DEMOTE button, and the TOTAL count should be BETWEEN the PROMOTE and DEMOTE buttons.
phubert
10/26/07		 mmmmm, yes, that IS a better alternative wo ... why Open Source has so much potential: "many eyes".
phubert
10/26/07		 ...just modified this to match your suggestion, wo.
