    Since story quests have suddenly risen in popularity on DLP, I thought I might put forth the idea of implementing a xenforo tally system. The voting seems to be getting unruly, with people changing votes across pages and pages of argument. I realize the whole quest trend might die down, as anything might, but I hope it doesn't since quests are my favorite.

    https://xenforo.com/community/resources/vote-tally.5752/

    This is an option, though it costs money ($25 initially with $15 per year upkeep). I'd definitely donate towards it and hopefully others will too, but it's understandable if it's too much money/effort. I just thought I'd make the suggestion.

    Hugs and smiles,
    - Selethe

    Things do tend to trend here, but maybe they'd be more likely to use the story quest forums since this is a considerable QoL improvement. Saves having to count through 40 posts in a thread and then have to go back once people have changed their votes four or five times.

    I second this.

    As a QM, I third it. And would be willing to donate some towards it.

    Likewise I'd find this useful and when I get paid again I'd be down to contribute to the cost.

    I fourth this? It would certainly make it easier. I don't know if we need that thing specifically or if someone with coding could make one for us though. I have absolutely no idea how coding works! :p
