A 'like' option

[harry potter]

Could we possibly have the option to 'like' an entry on your illustrious site? Often I should like to acknowledge the wit or wisdom of a contributor but am foiled in my instinctive facebook response by the lack of the appropriate button. Nothing to contribute, but appreciative.

I've got a problem here. Trying to edit, delete it. My point. 350 +1s is going to take a few pages.

Actually what you are saying is that really no one cares?

On second thoughts, no thanks. Best either to articulate a thought or not to say anything.

And best to post non-boaty things in the Lounge.

Personally, I'd find it useful. So +1 from me.

Presumably Harry is referring to "liking" technical/boaty pronouncements.

I'm all in favour of it as I'm sure that the cream will rise to the top. :encouragement:

+1 to no thanks. Seems pointless to me

Took you at least 40 key presses to effectively hit "Thumbs down"

+1 for Like (and other) one click responses which will also avoid repetitious posts.

This sounds a bit Twitter/Facebook to me. Anyone in favour? … I'm not!

I think it's a good idea, then you can scan a thread for posts with likes to get the important bits rather than have to read everything, which is a pain if you come late to a thread which already has a load of posts.
