Weird, I didn't even notice how much I used Ticker. Few times already I mindlessly moved my cursor around trying to find the ticker before I even noticed that I was trying to open it.
[QUOTE=Yahnich;40309939]ye now i have to manually count all my funnies[/QUOTE] That's the only reason I really used ticker, to check my ratings and to see wether someone has replied. It's sad I know. Although, it would be nice just to be able to see statistics on ratings ect.
[QUOTE=garry;40287939]It's here [url]http://facepunch.com/fp_ticker.php[/url][/QUOTE] You should redirect that to the "buy upgrades" page
I find the ticker more useful to see how many bans and such were handed out. It's more amusing when you have a long line of bans by the same moderator in a short span of time.

So, have we gotten an actual reason for why the Ticker is hidden? Since the default reaction has been "well here's a link to bookmark it without actually addressing what you asked".
[QUOTE=Reds;40339542]So, have we gotten an actual reason for why the Ticker is hidden? Since the default reaction has been "well here's a link to bookmark it without actually addressing what you asked".[/QUOTE] Like any change here, the reason is usually "because Garry decided to do it".

Have a screenshot on my pc but am on iod right now. Maybe when I get Internet here.
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Yt8gkRq.png[/IMG] R.I.P. in peace, ticker.
I'm crying for real right now
garry you have some explaining to do
How will I know if I'm harvesting enough Winners and Friendlies to afford Thread Insurance now?
Too bad, I'm used to forum systems where someone quoting your posts pops a little feedback notification into your inbox, which can help you keep track of discussions without needing to bookmark your posts or going through the list of recently visited threads. The Ticker wasn't quite as convenient, but it was the next best thing. Goodbye, little Ticker.
Why
The ticker page doesn't 404, so he didn't completely delete it. He's likely just updating it or fixing something. [editline]shiet nigga[/editline] told ya
[QUOTE=Yahnich;40495908]can't you use read threads/subscribe to threads though[/QUOTE] Yeah but since the thread limiter it's gotten annoying.
I spent so much time using The Ticker. Really sad to see it go. I liked seeing it just in case there was an inflow of boxes due to bad wording in a post (good "FIX YOUR POST" alert) or when a really old post is still being rated. Plus the mentions helped too. It even helped predict the next pageking.
[QUOTE=ief014;40493955]The ticker page doesn't 404, so he didn't completely delete it. He's likely just updating it or fixing something.[/QUOTE] More like turning it into a pay-to-use. [editline]2nd May 2013[/editline] Bye Bye, Ticker. Read Threads, you're next.
i doubt he'll get rid of read threads anytime soon, especially since he just changed it a bit (locked threads with unread posts show up in it now)
A basic thing to know about Garry is that he's pretty much unpredictable.
[QUOTE=Yahnich;40495908]can't you use read threads/subscribe to threads though[/QUOTE] I'm subscribing to threads I'm really interested in in general, but not so curious about maybe someone at some point leaving a reply to one of my posts that I see the need to subscribe to threads and ctrl+f my nickname every new page.
Well that sucks. I used the ticker so frequently that whenever I opened Facepunch I'd check it briefly to see if anything new had happened. Why'd it have to go? Is it part of Garry's grand plan to make Facepunch "more like an actual forum"?
i would pay just to use the ticker. Yes i'm aware of my sad state.
[QUOTE=Derp Y. Mail;40498674] "more like an actual forum"?[/QUOTE] Ironically the differences of FP from a forum are what makes it great.
[QUOTE=ief014;40493955]The ticker page doesn't 404, so he didn't completely delete it. He's likely just updating it or fixing something.[/QUOTE] Perhaps we'll be greeted with a Super Ticker tommorow. My god, imagine the possibilities.
