I have seen so many post today that I so badly wanted to hit a "like" button too! You know when you really don't have anything to add to the conversation but just love what someone else has posted!!! Just a thought :)

I wish we had one too! I totally know what you mean :) I feel the need to put my two cents in with a "LIKE" lol

Maybe Ennio will see this thread. With technology these days there has to be a widget or something for a "like" button on posts.

Edited to add- I noticed there is a "like" button for threads but not for individual posts. Not sure if it's possible to add "like" buttons to individual posts?

There is a Facebook Like button at the top of the thread, near the thread title to the left of your screen.

Also if you want to Rate the thread. Scroll to the top and you will see some menus on the right side of the screen (Rate this thread)...

Sorry Ennio I just PM'd you about it :) I was more thinking to "like" a comment that was said to agree with someone's statement when you really didn't have anything further to add to the conversation, but still wanted to give your support. Just thought it would be great, and I have wanted to hit a "like" button so badly on here the last couple of days :) I have been loving the conversations the last couple of days!! We have some regular comedians on here that just make you laugh even when you don't want to!! Love it!!

I don't "like" it, it creates popularity contests, people will be less inclined to write the unpopular criticism or say the things that needs to be said sometimes. There will be groups and friends of.. outvoting one another, people get upset for not getting thumbed up and people's ego's get in the way. It's the internet, it happens. :)

Anyway on most forums there is simply the "+1" comment habbit (simply quoting and typing +1 (or +1000 if you Really agree..) or QFT, Quoted For Truth, habbit) if one really wants to reinforce a comment by someone else without having to write anything yourself.
But I do not understand that, if something you agree with is already said then ehh..then that's great. Guess it's really a sign of the extravert "social" personality culture that people feel they need to make themselves count and heard in any situation whether they have anything to add or not. (And this comment would probably get thumbed down it's face right off, mhm.)

Twistofchaos... the idea is not to make people uncomfortable about posting... that is why I have disable how many thumbs up a member has received or gave. Like Jennyc and Beautifulsoul were saying... its just to check that they like the post. It's all anonymous and no one will be able to see how liked their comment.

Hey Ennio-

I have clicked on a few of the green thumbs up buttons you have installed in posts and it looks like it's turning red and giving a thumbs down? I think it's a "dislike" button :confused:

Amber, after you click the thumbs up button it will display a number 1 and a red thumbs down. You only click on the red thumbs down if you want to remove your thumbs up.
