No there is not any. It was at one time many years ago for a short while but caused problems.

Yeah that's a first for me. But there are reasons i'm sure, thank you for the info

Add a thumbs up symbol to your reply.
Yep, we had a Karma rating. It was abused and some sent bad Karma as a joke. It wasn't taken as a joke. And AFAIK we were not able to adjust the Karma to edit so it had to go.
LOL
Good question, thanks for asking!!!

Glad we do not have a karma rating here. I bet I would be number one in the bad rating. LOL Rocker would stuff the box on me.

You can express pretty much how you feel with the little yellow "Roll Back" guy.

It's too bad you can't just have a "Like" button, it's quick, easy and shows appreciation for what someone has shared. No need for any other buttons, seems if there was just a "like" button, you either clicked it or you didn't. That would be hard to abuse.

And, how do you do a thumbs up? I don't seem to have that option, just the little yellow guys...

LMBO.... anyone who knows me knows that hitting a "like" button and walking away would be like eating one Lays potato chip. Not gonna happen.

Pocketpower · « **Reply #10 on:** July 26, 2017, 08:37:23 AM »

I think the ability to say "thanks" or to "like" a post would be cool , but I can also understand why there isnt one in place, Thanks Guys

See, this is definitely a post I'd click the Like button on!

Thank you!

The problem with just doing a post that says thank you is you end up with a lot of posts that don't really contribute. A like button give the poster feedback without adding to the number of posts you have to scroll though to get to the meat of a topic!

Kinda like this post...

Not a big fan of like buttons personally. They turn me in to a lazy poster if I can just click a button instead of actually typing a reply.

But that may be just me, lol

I'm with you Marcel. Ironically, I used to be guilty of this laziness myself on other forums.

I am absolutely fine with "my" threads going off topic. I'm here to socialize and have fun, not just get info. However, I know a lot of people find it annoying, so I respect that as well. I'm sure that if the thread starter objects to off topic posts, then I'm sure a request, to one of the admins, will take care of all the offending posts.....or just step in and tell people to request people to stay on topic.
