Like Button

Hear hear !!

I know this has been discussed before, but I think the negative comments are from members who have never used a forum with a like button. get with the times fellas lol
Cheers Pete

Jack, sometimes i do write something but it would be great for me to just be able to go to Madfishers post and click 'like' instead of having to type something!
Sometimes i get lost for words! lol

Shaker do you still drive a model T, progress is invertible
Cheers Pete

I doubt very much that progress will ever be turned upside down!
With all the good that this site does for keen travellers it seems very petty to whinging about a something as insignificant as a 'like button'.
In answer to your question, no I don't drive a T Model & I am also not narcissistic enough to use Facebook.
Obviously the moderators are on holidays as this must qualify as being off topic.

Pressing a "Like" button is meaningless. It's like an email saying Happy Birthday. Nothing beats receiving a well thought out card via the slow mail. It means more as the sender had to get off their derrier and actually go to some trouble. How would those who agree to the like button feel if all they got was a bundle of "Likes". Hmmm I wonder if one was from my wife/husband.

No "Like" button for me thanks.

Facebook reminds me of a bunch of old dears with curlers in their hair chatting over the back fence with worthless comments like "I don't feel well". - "Oh dreary. What's up". "The cat is sick".

I was wondering what you meant Shaker. It took a second but now that I realise what you mean I find that the kind of progress referred to is a retrograde step. Soon we will all need an interpreter to "unspell" the written word.

LIKE

No just with more useless icons that are not needed.

There was concerns that the younger generation could not have a conversation or write a letter because mobile phones and texting has over taken them..... now we have forums where people don't have to post a comment, just hit a button if the like it.

Its easy to see how thisc would clog up, the forum hey guys

Like :)

Thats your opinion

And it's true.

Yep.
they do have an opinion. Right or wrong one is allowed to have a say

No body is asking to make this forum i like facebook, the like button in tacklebox is a much better example. The button is small and not intrusive, and you do NOT have to use it. Its a way of saying thanks( which tacvklebox also has).
Those who like it can use it, and those who dont can ignore it. Reallty I cant understand what all the fuss is about.

Hi Pete

There isn't any fuss above. It's just a bunch of mates stating opinions in a much more informative and interesting manner than just pressing a button.

Imagine sitting around a camp fire and everyone shaking or nodding their heads after someone said something. No information exchange at all. Just like everyone after the first post pressing a Like or Dislike button. A bit of an exaggeration I know. Maybe a bit of both may be okay. Even though I would rather pop in and type "Like" though.

At least the buttons do not make any grammar or spelling mistakes!!!!!
