DocM3 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Helloa, I'm just new here, but i would like to suggest implementing some sort of like button. i/e I wanted to like/thank requinox for his last answer in my topic. It wass unnecessary to formulate an answer, but a like/thank you button would supply to let the requinox know it's been read/thanked! Other peepz 'listening' the post could let the posters know their answer reached them too by liking the post/topic too. You could even go as far as creating some sort of ranking factor on who has the most appreciated posts like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salathe Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 We like conversations here, over arbitrary actions, so why not just post a short reply in the manner of "Thanks <awesome person's name>!" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragax Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I like it love it that in a galaxy far far away some people are free of the laws of the FB empire... and that forums still exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btherl Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Like! I was going to suggest this myself. While it's nice to have conversations it is also messy. like works on facebook and on other forums (sometimes called thanks), and it can work here. In particular I would like to be able to notice a good reply to someone's question and like it, so other people can see it's been liked by a guru without me having to post saying "Yeh that's pretty accurate", which makes me feel like an attention whore and wastes quite a bit of screen space for people reading through the topic. Of course someone has to implement it Edit: Adding like doesn't mean we can't still have conversations.. and people still have conversations on facebook. It's an extra option, not a directive not to talk anymore It's an option for when you don't feel like saying something but still want to show interest.

kicken Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I always liked the agree/disagree options they had over on Devshed Forums. Something like that would be nice to have. There have been a few occasions where I've read a reply or something that I would like to /agree with or thumbs up or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahngiel Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 There has been talk about bringing back the karma mod (or something similar) I would really like to see enabled on the new IPB (http://www.invisionpower.com/apps/board/#tour-engage) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyph Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 As long as we can fit it into existing empty space. I'd hate to enlarge what is IMO an academic forum with social 'fluffy' features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btherl Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 It does come default with IPB and will likely be enabled. Like!! xyph I don't think it takes away from any of the good points of the forum. If I have a comment I will still post it. If I don't have a comment but I only want to say I agree or disagree, then without a "like" feature I will just say nothing. If there is a "like" feature I will use it. So it doesn't take away from any of the discussion, it just adds a "how many people like this comment" dimension to each comment. And there will be screen space saved by eliminating "agree" posts. People who disagree will probably make a post about it anyway, unless what they want to say has been said by someone else already, in which case they can just disagree with the original post, agree with the reply, and not waste any more space.

xyph Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I'm more worried about 100 vertical pixels just to point out who's approved of a post. I understand it's a good feature, but I've seen it implemented in ways that are really distracting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you did it where only the approval/like/thumbs-up count was shown but could toggle a hidden div with the voters it would be really tastefully implemented Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facebook does it well. xyph, is what's shown in the following link what you want to avoid? In this particular case it's ok because the main post is so long, but in general it's a waste of space to list every single user: hxxp://www.wiihacks.com/recommended-faqs-guides-tutorials-only/96886-guide-softmod-any-wii.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kicken Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Yea, I've run across a few forms that put them below in a list like that, it is fairly annoying imo and I would not like that. Devshed's method is not too bad but if there are a lot of agree's it can get to taking up a bit of space. I think something small and simple would be best. Something along the lines of X people agree with this post. Hovering/Clicking it could optionally open something with details about who agreed with it.

Mahngiel Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Something along the lines of X people agree with this post. A question we should be having is what to call such accolades? Likes? Kudos? Approvals (think "I am Mahn for president, and I approve this post!" )? Thanks? Some contextual examples: "8 people like this post." "3 people approve this." "This post has had 31 kudos." "14 users said Thanks". "2 users accept this solution / answer." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btherl Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 "approve" and "accept" only apply when saying a post is accurate. "thanks" only applies when a post is helpful to you. For that reason I like "kudos" and "like" better, as they can have either meaning. It just means "this is a good post". If a novice uses it it means "this is helpful", and if an expert uses it it means "this is accurate". I am Btherl for president, and I approve this post.
