To ask MNHQ for a FB style "like" button?!

[sensuallettuce]

When they get a new server can they also please put FB or Daily Fascist style ratings buttons.

Sometimes I can't be arsed to reply or name the poster (looking back upthread/having to remember how to highlight a name ).

Sometimes comments are v funny/unfunny and I would like to like and unlike.

Thanks :)

If there was a like button, I'd be pressing it now!

Yanbu, I'd love it.

I need a like button

There's been several arguments discussions about this and most mumsnetters don't want one.

the Facebook recommend button was a compromise I think

What is the argument against?

I think there have been numerous a few threads about this over the last year few months?

Haven't seen any obvs not trying hard enough!!

• and does the FB button not link Mumsnet to your FB then?

I think op means a Facebook style "like" rather than a Facebook like that uploads to your status - that would be rubbish - but to be able to "like" a comment - or give a thumbs up or down as in other forums would be helpful and would negate the need for many to post that they too agree.

So please can we have one? Pretty please?

This is the first thread I have seen on FB style buttons where people agree and actually want it.

can you not just do @ xxxx name or poster who said xxxxx lots of us do that

YABU.

No because I am so lazy I don't want to scroll back through the thread to remember the name :)

yeah do it, don't care anymore

For instance I can just "unlike" all the people who bothered to post on a thread saying its already been done :)

Why do you want one though? Can't you just mention a poster's name like this

eccles you're right.

?? Or is that too much effort? I like MN because it's built around people putting some thought into their posts...and their replies. Not mindlessly "liking" shit or thumbing it up or whatever. And I can see some threads would be FULL of the things....whilst others wouldn't and then some posters would moan...Why doesn't anyone ever LIKE my posts???

Nah. Leave it as it is.

What if no one ever liked your posts

No cuz then I have to scroll though 11 pages to find eccles rather than see that lots of people thought eccles was right.

sensuall if you're too lazy then bugger ya'. I don't want the pages littered with LIKES. They piss me off.

A lot of people come here because it isn't like facebook.

I love the fact that I can get involved in discussions or talk about anything. IMO 'liking' a post is lazy. If you like something then tell them.

That would be rather insecure would it not?!

What about people who are at work? And have quota time?!

Well then as you read, do as I do...think "Oh I will remember HER...she said a funny thing." and then post...and then continue to read. Shit. You sound so lazy you'll just turn into a large finger soon....mindlessly liking things.

This might give you some idea of how often this has been debated over the last 12 months www.mumsnet.com/SearchArch?mustmatch=like+button&dontmatch=&nickname=&src_displ_option=s_m_d_m&fromDate=1%2F5%2F11&toDate=1%2F5%2F12&topicmode=chs&chosentops=2724&chosentops=1374&chosentops=1375.

OK, they may not all specifically directly relate to your question, but these threads are all from Site Stuff, AIBU and _Chat.

It takes two seconds just to post 'xxxx '

I don't understand the point in it. I don't understand the point in it on Facebook either.
