Forum Like Facility - A Work in Progress…..

[Max Power]

^^ I agree, IJ. Didn't hit like though This like-thing (and especially the accounting of posts) is Sufu style and it always meant more to me when I got a nice comment or PM than a "like", that is spread out easily. A forum offers the chance of expressing opinions and I prefer that over hitting a button.

[Giles]

Again, I agree.  But hitting the Like button has to be better than +1'ing.  The Like effectively should replace +1 and lead to cleaner threads.

[Max Power]

^On this, i agree as well. A +1 doesn't mean much either

Agree with G the whole +1 post gets tiresome. The like button is great for a lazy guy like me.

I never care for post counts etc, in fact I never really look at it till now and sh!t I posted a lot

All flatterers must be shunned.

I tried this "like" thing, and I think it's too facebookish. But perhaps it can be a good thing. I'll see.

[Giles]

So we have given this a reasonable trial and I think on balance it really has not added any value,  So we're going to get rid of it.

Shoque disable it please.

The Mod Squad would greatly appreciate it if you do not revert to such things as +1, great, Nice etc.  I know that I am as guilty of this as anyone, but I am going to try and be good and keep to constructive comments…

Really?  I kinda like the "like" feature…

[Giles]

Only some people were using it, it was not being used consistently, it seemed that people would click "like" rather than add a decent comment…....

I thought that you wanted léss comments and more streamlined and focused/ on target topics?.. Guess I got that wrong.

Like only works with a dislike option…

Yeah but considering people didn't follow that model, what is the point?

[elclintor]

eh, oh well….

I don't know what I expected, but I didn't like what I got…...

I preferred it the old way.......

i'm heart broken    do you know how much of my life i poured into liking?

sugar honey iced tee, wish i knew it was possible that "like" would be going the way of floppy disks & paying for pornography.

oh & polaroid photos are pretty extinct as well so i'll add that

Sorry, I know you did.

Where were you, when the like-function on the IH board was terminated.

[Giles]

Terminating the "like" function…...
