Is there some way to have a 'LIKE' button on our posts ?

[Mark Valsi]

I have noticed that most posts have very many looks, but very few comments. So as we post projects, we get very little feedback compared to "views"

Probably the reason is that it takes a bit more time to post a comment that it would to hit a "LIKE" button as is on Facebook.

I hope I get some comments . . .

Hi Mark,

You are correct, I have noticed the same thing. I have also noticed that an OP will ask a question, receive numerous answers, and never return to thank the people that did respond, or even return to acknowledge that they receive the information.

I agree.

Is it really easier to hit a "like" button than it is to post a short comment like "nice job"?

"Like" buttons are for androids. (not the phone).

Fairly lengthy discussion about this suggestion in the Lumber Yard. Last I looked, it pretty much got shot down.

... I agree Like button needed.

Yes, I started that discussion. Seems a few people didn't like the idea of anonymous "likes", and perhaps hold an impression that SMC is "above" that sort of protocol, and felt I should put out a little more effort and actually post a comment, as is mentioned above.

Like buttons are for popularity contests not for a serious forum like SMC. All one has to do is go on a forum like Instagram or Facebook and you will see that someone will post a junk image and get 1,000 likes and two comments. I hope that we encourage each other to post meaningful comments where we try to show our appreciation for each others work and to offer help to those that request it. This is a great forum and I hope that it does not degenerate into "like" contest that only reflects how many people we have friended and tells us nothing about the project we have completed or are contemplating.
