LIKE button

[DJBob]

Is there a way to put a 'like' button similar to Facebook on the bottom bar of posts?

Yea, theres a package out there that can handle per post based "thanks" - I didn't install it back in the day because I had seen similar systems gamed on big-boards.

I'll give it another look in about an hour and see if there are any potential issues with vbulletin4.

Mixedgas dislikes this.

We have a such a nice culture here, why do we need it?

Reasons for it:

I agree - 15 characters.

Reasons against it:

My post count is inadequate, I also agree but don't need to add 15 characters.

I'm sure there are numerous other reasons for/against this but the simple examples I mentioned above were the first things to pop up.

It wouldn't be called "like" - It would be called "thanks" - Basically someone clicks a button on the post and their "Thanks-ism" fuel tanks get another hit.

I for one don't believe that this does anything *directly* to help the SNR here, it just moves the noise into a more condensed box.

can we exchanges "likes" for "lattes" once we collect enough?

I like this thread.

There's already the option to "rate this thread"... It doesn't get used a lot...

I agree with Laserwizardry +1 But having discussed this earlier this afternoon I will stick with my original thoughts. A button that inserts "I agree - 15 characters." into the quick reply text box. For those with interest could pull all the data from PL and do a grouping of posts with "I agree - 15 characters." easy as pie! Cake on the other hand is a pain in the ass, well at least hand whipping butter cream frosting.
