New quick exit feature.

[RainAndSadness]

We've added a new feature to the forum which with the intention to increase your privacy. There is a new button in the dropdown menu which leads you to weather.com and pressing Esc on your keyboard alternatively leads you to Google now. This gives you the option to leave the site quickly if necessary.

That's how it looks like.



Thanks,
RainAndSadness

ahh you had my hopes up for a novel 'quick exit' from life.
thank you though for the useful new site exit feature.

 

[spacehardware]

Many thanks for this, great new feature.

oh, when I was being redirected to Google I thought I had a malware installed on my PC, 'cause I don't use google, but apparently I was just misclicking the ESC button.
anyway, good idea!

 

[watereyes]

thx! i usually speedrun Ctrl+W and bookmarks.

Esc to Google doesn't seem to be working for me. I'm using Firefox in private mode. Thank you for the quick exit drop down.

Can't wait until you guys create the quick exit from life feature!

No one, absolutely no one
Weather.com Admins: That's great! The number of visits to our site has suddenly increased.

Question for you all. What is the point of reaction score? Does having a high score unlock anything?

 

[Brick In The Wall]

Luckily I don't have to hide my activity from anyone, but this is definitely a nice feature for those that do.

This has been around for years...

The point of the reaction score is exactly the same than the point of the thumbs up and (defunct) down in BreadTube or in Facebook or hearts in Insta. It keeps humans lemmings interested in technologically mediated social interaction through notifications and a sense of acceptance or impact.

Huge love to @RainAndSadness as always for their constant hard work to keep us safe but did anyone else's mind see "quick exit feature" and go straight to "new easy way to CTB"

Edit I see am definitely not the only one who thought this'. LOL!

[RainAndSadness]

Oh, sorry - just to clarify. The new feature works in the 2022 theme for now.

I still see the quick exit and hope it's to get me out of here.

I remember writing those exact three words and putting them up on the door outside my bedroom. Little did i know i would have the same sentiment 30 years later.
