Does Jules need to add a like button to posts?

[cucinadio]

I did do the update whilst in bed this morning. But when I fire the laptop up latter I'll try and get into the styles and see if I can change the colour, I too am not a fan of the colour. Location might stay the same.

Maybe up near the quote button?

A very successful forum AULRO has had a "this post was useful" for years and it's a great feature to the site. But it's a democracy and you're entitled to your view and vote

AULRO has a "Thanks" button which has a slightly different connotation to the "Like" button!

On FB, companies can buy likes.  Any idea how much a "like" is going for?  I will sell any I get (which won't be many) to the highest bidder

you don't know the difference in THANKS and LIKE..

Colloquially "Cheers" (to mean "thank you") is used more than "Thanks." these days, just as in social media "Like" is used more than "thanks" [albeit due to its use as a tool to signify such in all manner of digital uses]

Does the choice of one or the other determined by its chosen use in a particular platform , differ in distinction, meaning or implication, or is this just one of those random things we should become rhetoricians over?

Sounds to me that you guys need one of these.....

Many other forums have setup reputation systems and it always ends it tears.

If you like a post send that person a PM.

The Ford forum and the expander forum both have a version of a thanks sysem and there are no issues there.

Not sure how it would end in tears? We use a like system on our other forum.  It certinly does not cause issues or the world to open up and suck everyone into a big black hole. It does save people posting stupid posts just to increase post count.  Oh hang who am I kidding. No it doesn't hahahha

Some are just too soft, you know the ones that don't like, Oh well, we wont go there in case someone doesn't like it 

BTW, I think it is a good addition to the forum.
Just my two Bobs worth.

Sorry,

Don't like it at all.

But if you must have a Like button you should also has a DISLIKE button.

Yep. I think the 'thanks' feature on AULRO is a great idea as you can acknowledge someones reply with a simple thanks without having to write a reply. Works well and you can see how many times people have been thanked vs giving thanks which is also handy.

do you walk into KFC and when the chick hands you your artificial food, do you say Like... or Thanks

Ummmmm......wut does Ambivalent mean?

[KingBilly]

ambivalent
am?b?v(?)l(?)nt/
adjective
having mixed feelings or contradictory ideas about someone

[Wortho]

if you walk into KFC and knowingly buy 'artificial' bird in a box you only have yourself to thank 

[Bird]

ambivalent
am?b?v(?)l(?)nt/
adjective
having mixed feelings or contradictory ideas about someone

I would have thought most people would have just said that... probably 3 people on earth knew what it meant..

[Kangaron]

Hate this button, the color, the size and the location.

If it must be, put it in the top right hand corner, next to the "quote" and the "dislike" button and make it unobtrusive, like the 'quote' button.

[Bird]

we also need a REPUTATION button in the for sale section...

and also add these http://www.myswag.org/index.php?topic=16958.0
