Settings
The setting is one of the most important feature of this website, here you can change many things, it contain three different options Username, Node and Theme. I will discuss each one after the other
Username
This option allow you to change or search for your preferred account, all you have to do is input the username without @, and click on Save
Node
This option allow you to choose your preferred Application programming Interface node for the data query, you can select between the steemitdev API or steemit API. Select the API you want and click on Save
Theme
This is one of the unique feature, this option allow you to change the display theme of the website, you can choose between Hive, Hive Dark, Steem Light, Steem Dark. Select your preferred Theme and click on Save.
I will illustrate how to change the Theme, the default theme is Hive, I'll change it to Steem Light.
Select the Theme option, click on Steem Light and click on Save, this is shown in the screenshots below
Upvote, Downvote and RCs (%)
This feature shows the percentage of the user voting power, the downvote power and the RCs.
- Voting Power: this is always at 100% if it is fully charged, if you upvote a content the voting power will decrease, after sometimes it will recharge itself and the time that will take for it to reach 100% will be displayed also. For me I have 99.82% voting power, and it will take 13 minute to fully recharged back to 100%
- Downvote power: just as voting power, always at 100% if fully charged, whenever you downvote a content the % will decrease. You downvote bad content e.g pliagrised content. This power also recharge itself and this bar shows the amount of time it will take to reach 100%, currently I haven't downvoted any content and my power is still at 100%.
- RCs to post, comment and perform some basic things on the Steemit platform requires resources (RCs), the higher the SP you have the higher your RCs, also whenever you post or comment, the RC decrease, just like upvote and downvote it will recharge itself back. So if you have little or no SP your resources will be small and you won't be able to perform some basic functions like posting and commenting. It is required to always power up and increase your RCs.
Currently I only have 138B, and it's 100% charged, this RCs is little has am limited to posting and commenting.
Latest Upvote
This section displayed some of the recent upvotes I have received, it shows the time, the account that upvote, the percentage (%), and the post the Title of my post they upvoted.
For instance, the last time a user upvote my post was 1 days ago, the user @abenad upvote my post titled Steem-business-contest-or-or-ozidy-mobile-phones-and-accessories-or-or-by-ademuji with 100% of his voting power.
