Hi all, what is the new purple vote button with a number input above it beside each SplitView topic name? I’m supposing it’s kind of a ‘react’ system (like the one in github) or maybe a different way of liking topics as an whole? I notice now it’s not possible to like the first post in a SplitView topic. ---

It’s just like a polling feature. Just a simple example: _Poll ([view on site](https://community.thunkable.com/t/what-is-the-new-vote-feature/1384790/6))_ ---

I think the idea is to allow users to vote for their favorite topic(s) and generate more interest for them in the community. It seems like a strange feature to me but maybe some people will like it. > **[Discourse Voting](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-voting/40121)** > > Summary: This plugin is the result of the spec put together by @erlend\_sh.
