Like or thumbs up button

Catching up on the debate I seem to have started....

I really do not understand Isn't this the same thing or are two clicks instead of one too much

You can't apply the to an older post that is stuck in the middle of a topic unless you quote the post.
Which in turn I would find rather impractical because a topic would get quite messy if all sorts of comments
(or initial posts) were "posted" again.

This is a valid point.

As I said, it's positive a recognition of a contribution by another member. Without having to add another post.

Dzombo, remember that this is a forum and not a social media like FB, Twitter etc.

Perhaps.

But I am on many forums (around 10) for my various interests. And most have some of Like button

A forum is based fundamentally on the interaction. I wouldn't like to change two lines of a post with a "like" or a "not like", because if there is to be a "like" there must also be a "not like". The latter is missing on social media which is very not democratic IMO.

I do not understand what is wrong with posting this or are people so much in a hurry these days that they cannot spare 4 seconds?

Where is Roger to find out if it is possible first?
