I keep wanting to 'like' posts on here a la facebook

Is there any way this could happen? Or not.

It would be great, but I suspect it wouldnt be possible on this forum template (I have no idea of correct terminology).

It drives me mad that I keep going to press like and it aint there.

What is "like" in this context?

MickyLee · 09/04/2011 16:45

Yes I agree! I want to like posts so much too.

Great to show support on threads I am not getting involved with or to thank someone you agree with.

If I were impressed with a posters sentiment or found it funny perhaps.

But what if no-one 'liked' any of your posts? [insecure]

That wouldn't happen to me Dooin. I am 'liked' left, right, and centre on facebook. So there stream.

Things like that kill conversation on forums. Changes the dynamic too.

I know that really. They have it on the forum DH goes on and its shit. I just annoy myself when I automatically go to 'like' something and forget I'm not on fb. I really do spend far too long on there. It's cos I'm a stjooooodent innit.

No. Don't want it. Love FB, but this isn't FB. It's MN.

See how the letters are different?

Oh God and now I'm expecting the little number to show in my banner when someone has posted on my thread, like when someone does on fb.

I want to like posts sometimes too.

PrivetDancer · 09/04/2011 17:12

I think it's a good idea, i don't want to post saying 'yes I agree with poster x' very often but a little like button would be cool.

Only appropriate in chat and Aibu threads though I think.

Might be interesting to see how many people agree with controversial opinions when they can do it anonymously.

Tee2072 · 09/04/2011 18:27

Thanks suwoo! I can always use to extra fingers with a toddler around.

I reckon there are loads of people agreeing it's a good idea but they can't be arsed to post 'What PrivetDancer said'. These people need a button, dammit!

Share what? Do you want some of my diet coke?

I always read the posts like a big huge conversation so it would be weird for me. If people want to say that they like what someone says then they just say so.
