Where is the promised Like or Thank Button?

Post by Desert Roses »

I noted that it was promised the "thank" button would soon be restored to the board; can you tell us when it will be back? I REALLY miss it!!

I'm afraid some people on here might have a temper tantrum if they get a thumbs down?

lol I hated that stupid button from the beginning and refused to click it. It also became too facebooky/popularity contesty. It was the same people who would like the same people's posts, became very predictable. But I'd be interested to hear from Brian why it was removed.

Bee, it wasn't possible to give a thumbs down.

Me, too. So many posts (especially ones not replied to) that I would have liked to thank that way instead of making the thread longer with a comment that doesn't really add a whole lot to the discussion.

Yes, iamse7en, it could be something like that, probably was in some people's eyes, and was a great temptation for pride. For that reason, I'm glad Brian removed the # of thanks a person had under the avatar. I still would like to have it to acknowledge a good post or show appreciation for someone's words or efforts.

The thanks button: we went for years without it. Now that we had it for a short while, no one can live without it.

Yes!! Please? I don't always want to comment when I just want to express that someone else's post was spot on!

I hate to suggest this for Brian's sake, but let's maybe start a protest... Every time anyone wants to THANK someone, simply copy paste this code below...

Code: Select all

[quote="BrianM"] (updated site, lost thanks button, so here is our current thanks functionality...)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
THANKS THANKS THANKS THANKS THANKS THANKS THANKS
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[/quote]
Maybe if we get enough votes (BrianM get's a notification) then we'll have a change.... OR I may be excommunicated from the LDSFF ward... :-s

I personally would like to see it restored, but without the count that showed up below the profile name. If someone gets a thousand thanks and one gets only five, it could lead to pride. But just to see who thanked you on the posts so as to form a friends list better.
