I participate elsewhere with the feature. I don't fnd it useful there, so I don't use it. So I don't believe it would be useful here. Sorry if you don't put much weight to that opinion.

I guess some members are more equal than others.

Absolutely agree.

Thanks also, for the well-placed George Orwell-inspired finish line

I have barely found any context where the "like" button is really good. There might be some, yes, but my vote here on FT is simply no.

"Like Post"
 
I frequent other forums and some of them have a neat feature which FT doesn't use - an option to "like" posts.

Each post shows how many likes it has if someone clicked "like". It's a way of saying "thank you" for a useful post or a way of saying "good joke/nice witty comment".

Has FT ever thought of incorporating a similar feature to its forums?

Wow thanks, very strong thread. The "cons" of the like button are quite relevant and something I didn't think of.

Thanks

Still strongly in favor myself-- now more than ever.

nkedel Nov 18, 2015 4:54 pm

Still mildly in favor, and also still don't get where the non-imaginary cons are. But mostly just amused to see the a long and contentious thread exhumed.


Follow me on Twitter for the absolute latest on the new 2016 AAdv changes.
Misread that as the "new 2016 AAdv outrages" :D

Highly understandable! Some would say "atrocities" :)

I have no issue revisiting this. Might be fun to see if we can come up with a motion and a vote.

Using identical wording, you mean? Yeah, that might be fun. ;)

Internet Brands has some other upgrades to FT in the pipeline. This one is not near the top of the list, and I fully agree with that. I think the discussion revealed which version we would like to be able to try out eventually.

Given the like button issue comes up so infrequently still doesn't seem like there's a huge clamoring for it. My take is most FTers are fine w/ FT as it is & don't actually give two patooties re: like/dislike. They're probably more concerned w/ content.

Cheers. Sharon

That is the way I see it too. This place has been rich with content without the game of "likes" going on here. So this change being a low-priority (or no priority) for FT/IB is just fine by me. As true today as ever before.
