Walker570 Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 (edited) I am a Moderator on an American Shooters Forum of that name and on there we have a LIKE button. This allows members to just click and their appreciation of the members comment comes up below the item. I notice on this forum if you want to show just your appreciation it is sometimes necessary to 'quote' and then leave a mesage which must take up 'space' on the system. Is this an idea for the future. If you want to see how it works just pull up Shooters Forum and browse through the various threads. It is a great and simple way to give the thumbs up.

Teal Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 We have long had the option of it, but never opted as although there are times when it could be good. It also promotes cliques, and people posting for likes, neither of which are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been in a McDonalds then Dave? I take in what evrryone has said and all comments are legitimate. There's the good bad and ugly in everything and would have just been more than happy to click a LIKE button when Ditchie reports success in his mole hunting efforts.

DoolinDalton Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 So..... basically, some on here DISLIKE the like button....and LIKE the dislike button (if we had one or both of them, that is!). There's no pleasing some people! 😕. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raja Clavata Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 The only change I'd like to see is the default language changed from American English to British English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bavarianbrit Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Funnily I know folks both here in Germany and the USA who have never ever tried fast food and it seems now to be with them a boast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, that's strange since for example "realise" gets a red squiggly line under it whereas "realize" doesn't? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teal Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 I've just tried that, and mine is the opposite, I think it may be your browser settings @Raja Clavata. If you are on chrome go settings languages and change which one to use for spell check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
