One of our superusers would like to hide his number of replies. He has a lot of them (almost 60k), and when (new) users don't like his good suggestions they sometimes reply to him that it's no wonder he has so many. He tries to help but replies like that is not motivating for him.

If he could hide his total, that would be great. It could be via a setting on the profile I think, the same way earned badges can be hidden.

One solution to this is to use the phrasing tool to not show the number of replies for anyone. Of course, that’s a broad solution to one user’s preference. But if the reply count isn’t important to your community, you can remove it via phrasing.

That would be a pretty radical solution, a bit much. 

Soms other users take their number of replies as with pride. They love to show it and it is a motivation for them. It can go both ways for different users. Giving them the option to show/hide it would be best I think.

Thanks @Jasper! We don’t have any plans to invest in this in the near future, but we’ll be updating the user profile settings in the future and this sounds like one of the toggles we should consider for then. I’ll leave the idea open to gather more votes and insights.

Hi

I’m looking to remove the reply count, is it the phrase forumList.meta.counter.post and do I just delete it or is there a way to switch it off but retain it if we want to switch it back on in the future?

 

Thank you

These are the options I can see

Thanks for the feedback and the idea! We don't have plans to work on it this year, so we'll be parking this idea for now and will revisit it later.
