TEST: New Like System

[ngvu1]

I like the new like system. Can I select multiple ones....make it like a bunch of check boxes then users can check or unchecked the ones they want. Not sure how easy or difficult that is to do on a browser specially phone browsers

Atm it looks like just one per post.

Personally, I just like the simple "like" option. All the other stuff seems pointless to me. And I go back and forth on the "disagree" or dislike ones just because they add negativity.

If you're going to tread into negativity, I think it's definitely better to explain it than to try and summarize it into an icon.

I can still think of more ordinary threads where it might be a "what do you all think of this thingy?" kind of post where thumbs up/thumbs down kind of feedback is requested.

I think I just rationalized doing nothing about the Disagree/Dislike/Distaste/Disown/Disparanthius button.

My thoughts exactly. if you disagree with someone, then explaining why would be beneficial to the conversation.

A lot of people get upset easy ( me included ) and if the was a way to explain the pain of negativity that would help...

Maybe a "don't get upset" emoticon?

Man I got reprimanded, and then I got upset.

I still use metal halide lights so this system may be to complicated for me

I vote # 1, 3 , 4 ,5 rest are too much. though I think disagree icon is somewhat wasteful also , because most people would just click disagree instead of elaborating on why they disagree.

I've been a bit absent from the site the last few weeks but I did notice the new symbols. A few 2 many for me but not everything floats everyone's boat the same. This website is still my favorite, just don't get 2 crazy

Y'all were not keeping all the options. Just testing this weekend and we will remove negative options.

I agree about the dislike or disagree button, may start bantering and such.

Maybe something for the "useful" icon? Fish teacher

For sure:
Like

Agree / +1 (that could be the icon)

Thanks (common reply for advice given) (very close to Like though)

Funny (most useful in Mods Stop thread)

Probably
"That sucks" or something like that...the "sad" reply, when you don't want to like something that is unfortunate. Emoji w/tear in eye, etc

Then maybe
Nice pic

"Good info" etc

"Hmmm..." for when something is not quite right...softer version of "WRONG!!!" Lol

To the back of the line...

 

[melypr1985]

I like the "like" and the "funny" options.

 

[Irsug1]

Cool idea! I'm going to need a secret decoder ring though..

I like the new like system, however, I think it could be simplified. Caring and friendly could be grouped together for instance. Same goes for informative and useful. That would cut it down two options as I see some people saying it's a bit cluttered.
