When will the forums get a 'like' button?

[Pav89]

Following the trend from social networks, how long do you think it'll take before the 'like' button will be integrated into forums so we can like posts/threads?

Reckon it will be a good or bad idea?

IMHO, Would be brilliant to see most liked posts/threads each day, thread stars don't do enough!

Nothing ever changes on here.

Also, most things posted on forums are regurgitated "liked" stuff from elsewhere.

I want to poke someone .

Oh please don't bring this in.

The stars do a perfect job!

You can rate a thread if you want to so why add anything else?

 

[sorn21]

Never.

Plus it takes years for even small changes roun' here.

We don't like change.

 

[Pav89]

I didn't mean specifically on OCUK forums, I mean just generally all forums for it to be the 'norm' to have like buttons.

Well to be fair - it really isn't. It allows me to keep in contact with friends and family who do not stay near me or live in other countries - like the UK.


Twitter on the other hand is a bit pointless, I guess.

Facebook has even helped me to find relatives that my family never even knew they existed!

You can't manage that with email or a telephone?

A lot of forums do have this facility already. It's nothing new. A lot of them also have a negative tagging as well, which is better than just having a positive.

I don't see why this forum would need a like button. It's a feature of Facebook that I dislike. If you like/agree with a thread or a post, you can say so in a post, and write why you like/agree with it.

 

[Pixel]

Hopefully never.

It took us a year to get the logo changed.

It took them about a year to change the logo - they won't be making any additions anytime soon me thinks
