Need for a LIKE function

[cqaigy2]

While I previously commented about the dislike for the like after initially liking the like... I hear you. One can always ignore. :dance1:

I'd like this comment if i could.

I just don't umderstand why it's so hard to post a positive comment if you like something.

I can see a substantial difference in the "device" being used to post here. I have a full blown computer and keyboard. I would be posting a whole lot less - which may be great - if I had to use the keyboard on a smart phone. I have a flip phone - have NO IDEA how to send messages with it - do not want to know how.

Still - I would not want to see TBN become a site of "button push" replies.

Suggestion for Mohammed: Take a look at the Ford F-150 forum at: https://www.f150forum.com/f118/what-no-cd-player-2019-lariat-thats-dumb-427986/index22/#post5985199 which is just an example.

Note the "THANKS" button just to the right of choices for posting Replies. Seems to me that would be a very nice addition to ALL TBN forums. The result of using that button is that a 2 line barely noticeable Post is inserted, below the post being viewed, which says Thanks and states who it is from. That has none of the undesirable baggage of being associated with Facebook, serves an obvious purpose and I would think would meet approval of darn near everyone including most of the old grouches (like me...) . You might be creative and consider alternate titles for the same feature such as "Agree, Thanks" , a simple "Agree," or maybe "Concur, Thanks."

If you do not write code for this Forum of TBN then the least you should do is get a price for the mod from your software vendor. My guess is that you are one of their large customers and they owe a mod for free or very low cost.

3,766 of his 10,747 posts were thank you's and he was thanked 1,999 times in 1,673 posts. What's the difference between that and a like button? It still looks like a popularity contest.

I visit a forum that uses a "thanks" icon and records the number of times you've used it keeping tally next to your post count. It's totally a popularity contest with derogatory comments made toward those that don't use it. So immature.

If someone posts something on here that I appreciate I should acknowledge that with a posted "thank you". I can surely muster up that much enthusiasm.

Thank you for posting that, Richard. . I totally agree with you.
