Don't know if this has been mentioned here before but and I know this is a bit or very much a Facebook style thing but sometimes when your reading other people's post on here don't you sometimes just want " like" what their saying without typing a reply?? another forum I'm on has this option or is this just being lazy and killing the art of conversation

wondered if anyone else would "like" or not "like" this option on here if available or possible

just shows your appreciation of what one is saying

thoughts on this ?

Yes your being lazy :lol: On tapatalk you can I think like posts; not sure where or if they show up mind... On a sports forum I was on, they had that but a few killjoys, who never got any likes demanded it be removed :D

Lazy, I think. If it's too much effort to type, then don't bother, IMO.
I've just deleted my Facebook account, BTW.

But equally there needs to be a dislike button too.

Some festival forums I visit have an upvote/downvote button which gives each person a limited number of daily votes. I think 5. This allows people to see the most popular responses but limits bullying by limiting the number of downvotes to 2

I think once logged in you can then select responses according to the number of votes.

+1 and there is nothing wrong with the good old fashioned +1 post is there really.

when you scroll through a simple like or perhaps a dislike if you want would save having to quote everything everyone has said and as not to miss anyone out, call it a tip of the hat in acknowledgement
This was not meant to be a lazy thing really just a speed up of the forum reading and responding process if that makes sense

agree it is still nice to quote what someone has said that stands out and respond to that individually

Oh, you people with busy lives. Or with lives, even.

You can rate threads, but not individual posts, save using a 'smiley' or the lazy shorthand: "+1".
