Like topic feature

Post by Impulse »

I added a like topic feature that is just like the Facebook like button. It's just a simple feature that will show who likes the topic after clicking the like button. In time I might add this to like individual posts also.

You'll see the button on the right edge of the page and who likes the posts below the topic title.

This does not link to Facebook in any way. If you want to share a topic/page on Facebook then use the Share button.

Maybe you should add a "meh" button for elmagico! :lol:

On a serious note, I do have one suggestion. Maybe you should use a different image for the button. It looks too much like the Facebook button so it may confuse people. Just a thought.

Cool feature though. I LIKE it! :lol:

That's because it is the FB like button ;). I will try to make a button that looks more inline with the post reply, new topic, etc. buttons soon.

It's just that I don't like these popularity contests. Like buttons are bullshit. A plague that should be eradicated. Like buttons are entertainment for the masses...

Not a bad idea ;) That's where facebook is behind the times. We need to balance it with likes and dislikes lol.

I don't really understand your dislike for the like button or why you think it will be a popularity contest. Sometimes a topic doesn't always need a reply, maybe just a "like" to let the topic creator know that it was appreciated (now, I'm not promoting anti-social posting ;) ). Personally I use Facebook a lot and enjoy the like button so I thought it would work well in a forum setting. There's always the option of ignoring it.
