Just speaking for myself, If I were into that Facebook kind of thing (which I am not) I would consider the "thumbs up" an acceptable substitute for a "like button". ::tu:: and if I really, really liked something, there's the dance & shout Smiley ::ds:: . Just one man's opinion.

I sorta get the single-click notion of a "LIKE" button because to enter a Smilie like ::tu:: takes 3 clicks:
1. Click on "Post Reply"
2. Click on "Thumbs Up" smilie
3. Click on "Submit"

Comments are considered one way of measuring the degree of ‘meaningfulness’ of individual posts and our forum overall. The general forum theory is that posts that attract more comments are more likely to resonate with a wider audience, as the comments indicate a higher degree of engagement on the part of the forum members. A "LIKE" button, while easier to use, would yield a lower degree of engagement which is the opposite of what AAPK is trying to accomplish.

Yes, it has been brought up before. My opinion FWIW is in this old thread viewtopic.php?f=2&t=54240

Hasn’t changed, but I think JerryD nailed it best. ::tu::
