has it always been there? or has it moved? and does that mean if someone 'likes' that thread it will be posted to their fb page?

Oh god, this isn't what people meant when they talked about wanting a Like button. They didn't mean an FB Like but just being able to click Like on here. Well, that's what I assumed they meant?

Cannot see how linking fb (public profile) and mn (non public profile) is going to work tbh

MardyStropAboutLikeButton · 15/12/2011 19:25

Did it go for a bit? Seems to be alive and kicking on my MN. Xmas Angry

Right, who are the 8 people who have Liked this then? How many work at mnhq?

JarethTheGoblinKing · 15/12/2011 19:30

I clicked it to see if it posted straight to profile and it did, bet most of the other likes are the same thing

Some excellent posts on this thread about why this is a bad idea. Please, MNHQ, get rid of it. If it stays, I don't.

post · 15/12/2011 19:36

Pandemoniaa puts it brilliantly. I'm not the most prolific poster, but from now on I'm strictly a lurker.

I have namechanged.

I will only be posting on chat threads.

I will only post on threads that have not been 'Liked'

If they are then 'Liked' I will be asking MNHQ to delete my post.

I will now spend the evening trawling through my old posts and asking MNHQ to delete ones I do not want on FB. Or if that proves difficult I will request MNHQ to delete my previous profile.

instantfamily · 15/12/2011 19:39

I clicked it to see what would happen, not because I like the like button. Please take it off or at least make the buttons do what they say, i.e. cancel/close should not send the link to fb.
