LOL - it so did - it went where it was told to take you - just because you were already there it went round in circles ...

The addition of a like button for posts/photos etc would be a good idea , save clogging up threads with unneeded comments which often degenerate into banter between friends

Sorry, I disagree Jeff.
These LIKE buttons stifle conversation and in my opinion should be avoided. We learn from the conversation and banter Without us interacting, the forum becomes pointless. In fact I would go as far as to say, I would stop posting if all I could expect was a thumbs up or down.

I've never learnt anything from a thumbs up apart from something I did or said was considered a nebulous 'ok'.

Imagine how banal it would be down the pub, if the only reaction to your converstion was a  or Ž gesture.

Sorry ...I hate all this LIKE business, it's clipping short what could be meaningful interchanges.

Rant over.

In my experience, like buttons are largely ignored and even if they are used, they are an adjunct to a text reply.

The facility is there, it is not compulsory to use it and I think you can expect the usual level of replies :argue

Ive totally ignored them since they came on the scene.....mainly because for some time I thought it said Lick. … 

The whole social media explosions leaves me cold. I remember reading that an ardent Facebook reader tried to use the same techniques in real life.

He walked up to strangers in the street and told them what he had for breakfast, where his wife went shopping, how the grandchildren were getting on. He showed them photos of him on his holiday, nude pictures of the wife and Asked them if they Liked him. Within a short period of time he had 3 followers.......a social worker, a psychiatric nurse and a policeman.

:lol:
I would sometimes just Like a post rather than replying in full.

Not commenting on the Licking thing as I might get myself into trouble!

As long as you don't use the awful American habit of putting ' +1 ' on its own in the reply ....
