Like button in DU [View all]

I sent this to the administrators but thought I would start a thread.

Has the site ever considered adding a "Like" button at the bottom of peoples post & replies? I see comments that I like or agree with and it would be nice to be able to like them so the poster knows people agree with or like what they said.

I also belong to a Dallas Cowboys messageboard (https://cowboyszone.com/forums/fan-zone.59/) and its a really nice feature. It actually keeps track of how many likes a member has.

It would be nice to read something and just click "like" instead of having to reply to the person to just say you agree.

on the site I mention they have the Like or Reply right beside each other.

Just a thought. I do really enjoy this site.

I think we had that years ago. I usually reply with a "+1" within the thread or "K&R" for the OP. Gidney N Cloyd Jul 2019 #2

Yes, we did. There was also an "unlike" button, as I recall. It wound up with different Arkansas Granny Jul 2019 #4
