"Just so I understand the suggestion properly, what what would the purpose of a like button be?"
It would let people indicate that they agree with or like someone’s post without cluttering up the thread with replies that are just  - which when threads are limited to 175 posts, would be quite helpful I think. |

"Well you do have the opportunity with the but that as you say will increase the thread. But so would a like."
No it wouldn’t, it wouldn’t be a separate post. I’ve seen other forums where you can react to posts and it’s just a little bit at the bottom of a post saying “3 likes” or something like that. |

Awesome idea!
I've been thinking the same thing about statuses too, i.e. to be able to "like" a status and send a notification to the profile owner, rather than just a generic wink or sending a message to tell them (which some people might be reluctant to in case it starts a message ping pong they'd rather avoid).
I'll start a new thread about it. |
