"Like System" Enabled On Thaivisa Forum

[george]

Logged in users are now able to "like" a post in a topic, Facebook style, with the member name who likes it visible. The system will currently highlight posts with a "POPULAR" icon when they get 5 "likes".

Hope you like it.

I have just liked it so I can see what happens when it gets to 5 likes.

Taking nominations now for the first one to throw a strop

I liked the old function - I think JT didn't though. Maybe we could have a poll.

Being one of those curmudgeonly and grouchy old men who sometimes dislike things, even intensely, I think it's a pity not to have a Don't Like function as well as Like. In our local forum we have a Thank You button, which somehow I feel is more positive than the ubiquitous Like.

That's exactly why we don't have a Don't Like button.

But a lot of websites have a + and - or an up arrow and down arrow so members can like and dislike.

Do you remember the Red and Green feature we had before? Turned into a headache with cliques patting each other on the back and general abuse of the system.

[Totster]

Just noticed you also get a notification when someone 'likes' your post..

[george]

Forget to mention, that your reputation points (number of Likes you have recieved) will also show up on your Member profile page. Just mouse-over a member name and you see the current score. This means that good, well written and informative posts increases your "karma" or "reputation" on the forum.

Forum reputation is visible to all members.

And you're not making comments on this forum?

This is a forum site. Different format than people commenting on a base article.

So when is a comment not a comment?

So when is a comment not a comment?

On comment sites people are mostly reacting directly to the base article. Here the situation is much more dynamic with members verbally interacting with each other directly. It's an executive decision whether to allow negative indicators. I am happy with the decision here. You are not. Oh well.

[Moonrakers]

If a comment was made when nobody was around to hear it, would it still be a comment?

Yes, but the reputation feature would not be required as nobody heard the comment

[Moonrakers]

A reputation add in the forum is worth two in the bush.

You obviously haven't read many comments sites where commenters directly comment about other commenters comments in the same way as this forum reacts with comments to the original poster (base article), or other posters comments.

I'd suggest BBC, or 606.

The flames will take care of the "dislike" part.
