I've enjoyed seeing more people interacting instead of just pressing a button.Nice to actually read comments when folks like a post

More typing time for the RA guy so I've had to develop a work around.On bad arthritis days....#1 Don't respond or #2 Give them a or#3 Wait for someone to respond and +1 it to death. Hey I loved the like button! I had nearly 7800 likes and gave out probably 4X that to new members, for great pics or just to let someone I appreciated them posting and being here with us.

Hey I loved the like button! I had nearly 7800 likes and gave out probably 4X that to new members, for great pics or just to let someone I appreciated them posting and being here with us.I Like this post. Well, I can't actually "Like" this post, but mentally I'm clicking the Like button.
Maybe that hate me now a few people herebut I'm not a fan of babbling.The Like button was a small tool to to reduce the "friendly spam".For example, a "test, please ignore" thread lives from babbling.But there are many threads where good images or information are the essence.But this essence is lost in hundreds, thousands comments to.It takes too much time to pick out interesting from thousands of empty replies.Pity about the good content.And the number of likes in proportion to the number of postingswas an indication of the quality of a member.I hope the Like button come back.
I don't think the like button deterred people from posting. I do think it enhanced the forum in that it allowed people to acknowledge that they enjoyed a post or picture. It also I think led to less clutter in threads with pictures for example , rather than quoting a post with a picture in it you could like it and the person who posted it new it was appreciated. I do hope that some effort will be made to find a way to get it to work with the new software. I'm not tech savy but it seems odd to me that it can't work with updated software. Lots of other forums have a like button. For example two of the guitar forums I belong to have it.Anyway thanks for listening and I do appreciate all that goes into making the forum run.
Just saying, I never went back to see if any of my posts were liked however if someone posted then I read it.And with that said, there is activity happening out the back.Patience good people.
It isn't the return of the Like Button but it should be a good alternative for now A new LIKE smiley
