Would you like (lol) a like button on the forum?
 

I don't mean to cover old ground (but I'm going to anyway!) but other forums I'm on use a like button and it works so well. I've even caught myself coming on here and going to like someone's post - and then realising I can't. I don't see how the system could be abused since there's no dislike button which people could use on people they dislike. It's a positive feature and it'd work brilliantly in creating a more friendly atmosphere on the forum as well as being more inviting to newbies (a forum I joined recently has a like feature and having everyone like my posts in my introduction thread really made me feel welcomed and it's still nice now I'm not a newbie to receive likes on my posts and really brings the community together).

I agree :love:

I know a lot of people will come in this thread and be like 'it's not needed' etc but new features help keep a forum going. It's very easy to be like 'if you think the forum is slow actually bring some interesting discussion to it' but everyone knows the way to help a flagging forum is to provide new features. Admins, if you don't have the time to add new features then promote someone else to admin who will. We've been asking for CBB1-5 favourites etc for a long time also and we've just got a response that admins are busy. I perfectly respect that and I understand that real life is more important than the forum but in which case do you not think choosing someone who'd be willing to add these new features to join the admin team is a good idea? Niamh or Andybigbro or Dezzy (if they were willing)?

And I do understand that Josy and James work incredibly hard and respect that they are busy in their own lives.

I support this endeavour

No!!!! Likes mean popularity!!!! Cliques!!!!! Elitism!!!!!!

Or something.

I endorse Cal

Didnt James say something about it not being possible in some sort of way?

I think you should add a poll

I think it should happen if the likes are anonymous and if there isnt a dislike button

I agree with Cal!

The forum will die first.

I agree but I don't know why they don't ask people to help like I have experience in coding forums and I don't charge a fee

Riley to be Josy's No. 2?

I could be assigned with coding the snazzy stuff whilst Jody does background but I get all the credit

Yes. Here for the mess.

James has said no because he doesnt want personal details getting out

I can't wait to like posts that are against certain forum members in the SD section just to get them all riled.

mwahahahahahaha

There wouldn't be any :think:

If supposedly mature people can't handle a simple option to like other people's posts on a public forum then I'd be worried!

Me to hack Jarrods account to find out who nommed me in TiBB Big Brother?

sure why not

Lmao it's bound to happen. Anyway, I think it's a good idea regardless.

Sad but probably true

If the forums dies can we get a warning first cause I have no means of contacting people

Just to make sure everybody who would potentially be interested in this has viewed it!

Well it looks like the people have spoken
