Forum Like Facility - A Work in Progress…..

[Finn666]

edit: thanks seul and rocket!

@Giles:

nope dunno what you mean…..

well atm you (G.) have 11 likes in total like seen under your avatar "all the time"…so wouldn´t it be better if the numbers of likes just would show for that actual post one´s liking.

the system now:
post 1:  11 people liking the post      -> 11 likes visible in total!
post 2:    5 people liking the post      -> (11 + 5)= 16 likes visible in total!

the system i´ve in mind:
post 1:  11 people liking the post      -> 11 likes visible for this post only!
post 2:    5 people liking the post      ->  5 likes visible for this post only!

got it?

[rocket]

so you want a like posting counter to show the value of a posting, instead of to value the member itself, right

not intended to work with tapatalk I assume?
so basically sufu rep without the neg part?

fixed…but yeah, you got it!

so actually i´m suggesting the same like-feature as the one on facebook.

[rocket]

yeah suggest is better…

[Giles]

Not sure if this is possible….Peter?

Poor onehanded feller… What started as A Simple Plan... 

[dave]

I feel partly responsible for this.. Thanks!  I'm not much of a commenter, but I'm one hell of a liker

[rocket]

I would prefer to see more postings, the like button is not meant to getting more lazy…

[dave]

Aye, but this has always been a personal trait of mine.  Must be the business I'm in…

[shoque]

rocket: very good point

finn: I get your point, Giles and I will discuss a bit where we want to go with the like function

when you said fb-like behavior, you mean a post-based like counter correct?

what if we just let people like the first post of a thread (a thread-representative like button thus).

damn, i hope i'll get rid of my splint next week, this would make my work much more effective.

what the hell did you do? get well soon…

I kinda like Finn's point, to value the quality of a single posting with the like button, instead of valuing the member itself, doing both would also be a option, depending on how difficult it actual is, to do this for every single posting...

[ronaldlsh]

I like this "like" idea. It's fun haha.

[shoque]

thanks rocket, i fell through a damn glasswindow mounted in a door….

...worst part, i'm responsible for that myself. i stumbled over some crap lying around on the floor of my apartment. maybe this is could be an incentive to tidy up more often, but for that to occur something much worse has to happen.

[ronaldlsh]

I hope u get well soon shoque. That sounded very painful.

[rocket]

sounds really painful, glass isn't exactly the material I would wanna fall in….

[Max Power]

I'm not a fan of rep systems, even if they're only meant positive. So i have to back Finns idea of liking the post only instead of counting rep for a member as a whole. (I take it as if the like system is meant to stay.) But maybe I just don't want things to change. Thanks for the work to the admins though.

(If anybody feels offended - post 1.666.  8))

[Finn666]

Thx to rocket for explaining my actual idea while I'm offline

[shoque]

I think only threads should be allowed to like to outline the popularity of threads. Do you guys agree? Giles, what do you think?
