I like the 'like' button.
 
Maybe I've missed it until today and it's been around for a while, but I like the 'like' button.

I've seen it used on other forums but not on Pelican. When was it turned on?

I first noticed it today. I think it is as useless as the star ratings for threads. I will continue to mostly ignore it. Maybe if someone posts a reply that I expresses my thoughts precisely I may use the like button. I don't think I have star rated more than a handful of threads.

I gave myself 5 starz once....on a thread I started about how stooooopid the starz were.

I don't see any of that crap on mobile tho'....

Like :D

I just need the affirmation that someone, anyone, liked my post.

Just noticed that you get notified when someone likes your post.

I don't like the 'like' button quite as much any more.

Can we get a thumbs down button?

KFC911 01-08-2020 01:35 PM

I just went to desktop mode....and now see who "likes" a post....but I don't see the "like" button. Oh well...I guess I can't do what must be the stooopidest thing I've ever seen....worse than freakin' starz I tell ya!

Carry on girlz....

Mebbe we need a "rike" button too :D

The "like" link only shows up when your cursor/pointer is over a particular post. If you've got your mouse positioned so it's not on a post, then you can't see the "like" link.
You can't see where my pointer was in the screen shot below, but it was over your post, not URY914's post.

I think a middle finger button would be more fun!

I’m not a fan of “like buttons”
I just don’t see the added value. And the annotations at the bottom of every liked post are just plain stupid.
Millenials are taking over.

If you like a post of mine, peachy, but I don’t crave affirmation.

I vote for a likexit of the kissass function.

(Sorry, it’s late and I am finishing my Talisker Distiller’s edition before I go to bed.)

Wayne tried the like function a couple of years ago. IIRC it lasted less than a week.

Eric at Pelican Parts 01-08-2020 03:22 PM

I'm not a fan of it. I have adblock plus on and it blocks the buttons... but when I hover on a post, I still see the hyperlinked word "Like" on the right of the post. Argh!

I liked your comment because I'm able to read the real meaning of comments and know that it's what you really wanted. :D

stevej37 01-08-2020 03:43 PM

The best will be seeing who likes their own posts!

edit: just tried it....doesn't work

I figured it was a matter of time before someone would like my post.

Lol, pretty funny, my kind of humor :D thanks for the chuckle :D

Now quit it!
