Re: What do you think of the controversial show more button?

You made a good point, the most annoying thing to me is when a forum or a website forces you to register in order to be able to read full articles.

I never realise this and though there are more lines and that's why they add see more button. Thanks for this now I won't click on see more unless I really like to know :lol:

We have forumcoin members who post and replies long and I have happy that I don't need to click a show more button to reply to them because we don't have it. Mylot already implemented it.

I can't say it really bothers me, it's just a simple click in most cases and I think it keeps a site tidy. Most replies here are short (apart from the articles) so we wouldn't need this feature anyway.

I also don't like the show more button. I prefer if the text is just given fully as it is. I never understood why they put it so but now I know that they want the click rate.

For who love to read just a summary, they can read the little text. But I like reading the whole text and so I have gotten used to clicking the see more button.

Aside from multiple errors that blocks me from accessing, Show me more button is the reason why I am not in Mylot for a long time.

That's one of the reasons why I like FC a lot, but as annoying as it is, as long as it helps the website and they are able to make more money and pay members and do other stuffs, I'm totally okay with it

Yeah, I also like FC as there is no show more button. You just open an article and read smoothly to the end. It can really make it so hard to read but if the people are trying to make money then it is understandable.

I also don't like those show more buttons, usually, the article goes back to the beginning, and sometimes it takes time to open. I frequently just move to another site, I don't have time to lose with those ones.

It has both advantages and disadvantages. Advantage is where you get a rough idea what to expect and so you either click that show more or pass it on . Disadvantage is that most users are lazy and never click that show more but put their comments or responses based on what they see

Actually, I have come across that show more or read more button many times especially on new article sites. Only with this post of yours, I become aware of it :lol: I am not annoyed so far because if I do not find the beginning interesting enough, I just ignore the button and leave the page. And if it is interesting, I get so engrossed that I do not mind clicking those buttons and reading the full thing. But if the button keeps coming for every two to three lines, it can be a killjoy.

I do not like read more or show more button, like to read the article entirely on one page even if the article is 2000 words.

Not a wise decision to stop going somewhere just because you do not want to click the show more option. myLot is a nice place to hang around - a stress reliever.
