...in posts to click on, if we like what that member has contributed, but don't necessarily feel a raft of words in response, is warranted?
Even the 'good posting' emoticon means we have to post.... being able to simply 'like' a post would be so much simpler.

Could we have a 'like' button....

Re: Could we have a 'like' button....
I find this way + a few words describing what one likes especially , the best in the long run
It makes the feedback more personal and sincere, in my opinion
best regards

And I didn't care for you
We would zig-zag our way
Through the boredom and pain
Occasionally glancing up through the rain
Wondering which of the
Buggers to blame
And watching for pigs on the wing

Re: Could we have a 'like' button....
No, I would not have done it the easiest way ..
In another forum I use to visit, they have that option, and often it seems to me that the "like-button" only signals to the monkeys: come and join in the cirkus , and dont forget to bring your drums along ..

Good policy. There are plenty of boards where popularity contests and the lowest common denominator dictate content. Dhammawheel is a nice refuge from that sort of thing.

Re: Could we have a 'like' button....
Personally, I was hoping for a 'crave' button.
