New Like/Thanks option

Recommended Posts

I really like the new Like/Thanks options. Have more options to select with those nice icons that do not offend no one, I hope.

Thank you for pointing that out. I find those new options childish at best. And having the "like" and "thanks" now as separate options is senseless.

If you thank someone it means you also like what he contributed. And vice-versa.

I have same question.

If one does not like something, the simple solution is to change/customize it as per one's personal taste (provided one possesses the capability.)

 

I didn't like the glaring, white background (and, many other things) and decided to change it, instead of whining about it. :lol:

Thanks to me is more like a courtesy for the effort. Like to me is that you agree with the information provided or also thanks for the effort.

For me both are needed. Kind of preference.

  u no how to make it look like matrix black and green ?

Yep, but all those fancy visuals wow you only the first time — when you try reading posts (especially the longer ones,) eye fatigue creeps in.

 

Mark my words — over a period of time, you'll find folks complaining about the present white background.

Don't  you miss  the good old days when ip boards use too didn't  have thank you buttons and they all allowed  thank you post . The generation today sold there soul  too Facebook ,  YouTube , Twitter , etc. for a like button .    PBS even done a documentary about it called  generation like. :)

Here is the thing. We can disable all the other things and keep just the Like button and again change it to Like / Thanks - just the name not necessarily looks. But we do not believe in making way to many changes to the default looks and we think that having these things, as childish as they maybe, add to the forum experience nicely. Another thing to add is that other forums on the internet have had this from years, though, not with such images.

 

Also, it looks like no one can give bad reps. Like, Thanks and Haha give good reps to the member but Confused and Sad are set to be Neutral here.

 

All that said, as I have said before, nothing is fixed for now and it's not something we cannot revisit later, but only if required though.

We may not realize is how often we use the Like to affirm something about ourselves. In a study of more than 58,000 people who made their likes public through a Facebook app, researchers discovered that Likes could predict a number of identification traits that users had not disclosed:
“Feeding people’s “likes” into an algorithm, information hidden in the lists of favorites predicted whether someone was white or African American with 95% accuracy, whether they were a gay male with 88% accuracy, and even identified participants as a Democrat or Republican with 85% accuracy.  The ‘likes’ list predicted gender with 93% accuracy and age could be reliably determined 75% of the time.”

To express virtual empathy

And sometimes we like in order to show solidarity or unity with a friend or acquaintance and their way of thinking. Social media can be a way of gaining “virtual empathy”—and that empathy can have real-world implications.

What Is the meaning of it?, please.

 

This has more to do with Reddit and Youtube. It's a way to get prominence.

Other forums keep the other buttons enabled, I don't see why disable here to make difference.

Users of this site too, who do not like the other buttons need not depend upon the Admins. to disable the same — they can do it themselves.
