Like feature suggestion

Been on other sites and posts have a like option. Think it's a good way to highlight good advice.
Also makes it more interactive, especially if likes are then viewable on your account.
One to think about for future updates to the forum if not previously considered.

This is MNHQ's reply from the most recent previous thread about this subject:

Hi all - just to clarify, this aint gonna happen grin

Thank you for the suggestion OP - we have been through this a few times now, and it always quite strongly leans towards no. We do like discussion over here on MN and items like a "like" button do tend to discourage discussion in the place of a quick "like".

Many thanks for posting everyone.

Sorry, posted too soon.

This comes up a lot. Whenever it's discussed the conclusion is overwhelmingly that people don't want it.

This came round again quickly.

Secretspy a lot of forums predating Facebook used a karma system.
You up vote a post 'like'
I used the term 'like' as voting reminded me of reddit oh dear...

It's not Facebook.

You are most welcome to post 'I totally agree with you, blah blah blah'

Would it be a good idea to combine a like feature with marking your place on a thread? It would be faster and mean that threads aren't full of people place marking.
