Posted: Thu Feb 10, 2011 4:01 pm Post subject: Should We/Can We Have a 'Like' Button?
I have read a few posts on LF since my return and would very much like to indicate my acknowledgement, but feel that writing a new post would be unnecessary, frequently it has also been that case I that I am not 'thanking' a member...
I just wondered whether we should/could add a 'like' button or change the 'thank' button to reflect this?
What does everyone else think?
Bernie - I have a tablet for you, I know this might involve change!
i dunno i think the thank button serves the same purpose and so it would basically be a case of changing the wording which isn`t really necessary. another forum has recently added the like button in addition to reputation and it just seems rather pointless having both things.
i do like the fact that when giving rep on there you can write a little private note to the receiver stating why you gave rep if you chose to do so.
Ditto, Sarah.
The funny thing with the 'thank' button is that if you post a thread and people write directly to you, i thank them, but then if they have a conversation between themselves because their comment sparked a question or whatever, i feel mean leaving gaps in the thread, even though it wasn't *to* me, it was on *my* thread and I never know where you stand not to be a gushing fool or a pompous twonk on that one.
I'm not sure what a 'rep' button is not being on Facebook.

ditto that
what's the consensus there - gushing fool or pompous twonk?
1) thank people for their reply
2) to acknowledge that I have seen the reply
3) to agree with someone's point of view
4) to like a photo
so to me... I think it is all in a word and I had taken it as read that to thank someone on a post could mean a variety of POSITIVE meanings!
On facebook the "like" button gets used alot. I have seen it used in response to someone saying Im sad about xyz. they then get a "like" thingy ticked by a friend... I often think huh some friend but reality is - that it is acknowledging that it has been seen by that person and they didnt want to "read and run" as it were.
I think I probably over "thank" people but then that is my upbringing so I will automatically thank all nice replies - thanking for the time that person has taken in replying to my post!
so perhaps Im a gushing fool!! who knows...but I was bought up to be polite so in my book it shouldnt cause harm to thank people?
I have no idea what the rep thing is either (and I use facebook - is it on facebook then?!! )

for news on my gang click on the www button!
Personally I like "thank". The world is being taken over by facebook, and I don't see why we have to follow.
I "thank" people not just for replying to my posts, but for contributing something I find valuable, or just because I like what they have said.
I'll bog off now in my anti facebook bah humbug stylee.....
