to think mumsnet should have a "like" button......

[oldmum42]

like FB does, or better still, a positive/negative button like "The Student Room" does, so I can "comment" on a post with minimum effort?

Would save me loads of time :)

[Mrsjay]

they had the FACEBOOK like on here i think its been removed , But a like of posts and comments botton would be good , especially if you havent really anything else to add , of if somebody is being funny ,

[Sparklingbrook]

Nobody would type a thing would they except 'Like'.

[MrGin]

tis done here

:o

Maryz, regarding abuse of a like/dislike button - TheStudentRoom, which I use regularly, gets round this problem by having a limit - you can only like/dislike a comment once, and you can only like/dislike a posters comments twice (ie you can "rate" 2 comments by the same person, but then you are blocked from rating that person again for a time). I think that system gets round the potential for "rating abuse".

I do get stuck in and post, but sometimes it would be good to have an instant 1 click comment !

I've got a spellchecker on firefox too!

[mojitomania]

Enough symbols on here already.

[Sparklingbrook]

My Google Chrome spellchecker is an American.

[oldmum42]

Procrastinate - but the firefox spell check doesn't work the way the Chrome on does! Chrome's spell checks everything you type, as you type it, no matter what site you are on - so easy!

Sparkling, my Chrome spellcheck was also American to start with, but my son sorted it and now is British!

Maryz, we are lucky to have computer literate DS .

[ProcrastinateWildly]

Firefox does too. At least it does on mumsnet. It's just underlined firefox and mumsnet as I typed. There it goes again . It does it the same as Word.

[oldmum42]

MMMMmmm, Procrastinate, wonder if it's changed then? When I had Firefox I have to click on some buttons to get it to do the spelling, but I'm not very techy so maybe it wasn't set up right or something!

[ProcrastinateWildly]

I'm not either. I had it switched on, but no dictionary selected so it wasn't working, I was inspired by this thread to google and it's sorted now.

I like the idea of virtual bun throwing and some sort of limited on the lines of the StudentRoom as described. So often I've seen a post that I really admire and agree with, and all I can do is post way down thread 'What xyz said' and hope other readers have the energy to scroll back and find it. I really don't want links to bloody FB though, so glad that FB like button is gone, although there's still a FB recommend thingy about.

[oldmum42]

Random....... I agree, NO link to Facebook, wish I'd not mentioned it in my first post :) ! Was saying a button LIKE the fb one, not linked TO fb, though I know there previously was an actual FB link thingy previously, which is not a good idea at all IMO!

[WorraLiberty]

Just to be clear oldmum

Do you want it linked to Facebook or not?

[oldmum42]

at Worra...... NO I DO NOT!!!!

[WorraLiberty]

[oldmum42]

indeed!

I love MrGin's buns thrown counter, was going to suggest a star rating but that's much better..
