I wonder if a Like button feature would work. Basically a way to let another poster know you've read and/or enjoyed their post. A lot of times I've read an interesting thread or post, but I don't really have anything else to add, so I just move on and the poster may never know anyone read their thread because it got no replies.

I don't know how/if vBulletin would handle such a feature but it's just a thought.

I think that's an awesome idea. I feel the same way you do about it. I think it would work.

I suggested the same thing for the reason when I first started here:wave:

(At another site I post at it even lets you see who liked it, if the total doesn't get too high)

Yea I'd like to have one.

They should also have an Ambivalent button.

A like button would be nice.

I'm all for it as long as a 'dislike' button comes with it.

I can't wait to start giving those out.

In my opinion, adding a like button, dislike button, or anything else related, would not be a good idea. I think it would cause problems. This is a message board, not Facebook.

:thumbsdow

It's on practically all the other message boards I belong too. Never caused a problem.

I think a like button would be OK, but a dislike woudn't!! I think it would hurt people's feelings if people were giving their posts a thumbs down cause everyone is entitled to their opinion. Unless someone is being mean or rude, posters shouldn't give other posters a "dislike"!:(

So I think like button, yes OK,even though I'm not that thril led with that idea!!:confused:

Nay on a dislike button!!!:p

To me it's almost like we already have them.

:thumbsup: = like
:thumbsdow = dislike

But that artificially adds to my post count, whereas a like button wouldn't.

I agree with most of the sentiment about the dislike button. Personally I see that as causing more harm than good, for the reasons Bonnie mentioned.

There's no point in having a 'like' button without a 'dislike' button.

Yeah, there really wouldn't be much point in having a "Like" button without a "Dislike" button. I agree. I'm all for like/dislike buttons! It'd be fun!

No dislike buttons would cause problems. Most of the other message boards I'm on only has a like button.

I guarantee that a dislike button will start drama and fights. A like button is different and serves a different purpose, as outlined in my original post. I don't know, maybe a like button will start fights too, but all I know is if we can't get one without the other I'd be happy to drop the whole thing.

It sounds horrible. If there was a like button , the site would become similar to Facebook. There's no need for a like button and things are fine as they are right now.

Yea I'd like to have one.It works good on davidicke.com/forum (Also VBB) so it might work here also!

Its kinda like a general truth site............

Thank you.

I think people would be using the dislike button on your dislike button idea.

Well I personally think S.O. online is fine just the way it is!;) Doesn't really need a like button! But if we do get that here, it's OK I won't complain! If more people want it than don't want it it's only fair! ;)

I still hold my ground on the dislike button! I think it will start fights and feelings will be hurt!:(

There's no point in having a 'like' button without a 'dislike' button.Facebook has had a like button for years with no need for a dislike button. Likes are positive, dislikes would just lead to a lot of fights, hurt feelings, and negativity.

A dislike button is not a good idea.

Some of the newer versions of vBulletin have like buttons or links, but I've read they have caused security issues and hackers target them. I don't think we would ever enable a like button.

Good point. It's probably an easy target for spammers also.

Yeah! That's cool! I really didn't think we needed a Like button here. S.O. is just fine as it is! ;) :) :wave:

I think we need that dislike button now.
