We’ve listened to your feedback! While many of you have enjoyed the ‘Thanks’ button, you also told us that you'd love more ways to express your feelings on the site.

Starting today, you now have the choice of four reactions:
‘Agree’, ‘Love’, ‘Funny’, and ‘Thanks’.

Here’s how it works:

  • Select the ‘React’ button underneath the OP or reply.
  • Choose the reaction that reflects how you feel about the post.
  • Reactions are private and are only visible to the post owner.
  • You can select one reaction per post.

We hope this gives you even more ways to engage with posts and share how you feel.

Let us know your thoughts or any questions in the comments below!

Thanks all for your feedback so far! And for all your reactions on my OP!

@SwordToFlamethrower we are currently updating the app! The new app is in beta phase which you are welcome to join and try out! We will be launching in the new year. If you are interested in joining the beta I can send you details on how to join.

@RoadToBeverly Thanks for your feedback - we will be keeping an eye on the way these new reactions are used and will make a decision to remove them if we think they are causing more harm than good.

@JaneJeffer there was a bug preventing this but we've fixed it now so you should be able to click on the reactions icons on your post and see who's reacted.

@Essentialblindspots Thanks has always been private and our thinking is that it will prevent posting becoming a popularity contest - when we researched this idea with users originally it was the thing that people were most worried about.

@BlackChunkyBoots You can still thank!

When someone reacts to your post it is visible to you. You'll see the icons on your post and when you click them you'll see a breakdown of which reactions you've received and who did them!

@SabreIsMyFave thanks is still there, it's the first option. We've had a lot of feedback since we launched thanks asking for more reactions!
