What's the "LIKE" thing in the bottom right corner?

I was kinda wonderin' too.
I told my Wife and she said, so it's like Facebook?:eek:
Please, say it ain't so.
 
I even went to the length of reading the 'Announcements and Rules" section and didn't see anything about it. Someone who knows please give us the pertinent poop.
 
I haven't been briefed on the new feature, but it's a toggle (like/unlike) that allows you to favorably acknowledge a thread without posting. The member names of those who "like" a particular post are visible to both members and guests. There's a drop down summary at the top of those pages with posts that are "liked" and there's a grand total of "likes received" and "likes given" in your member profile under "Mini Statistics". The "like" totals can apparently be used to sort threads and posts by order of popularity, but I don't know if there are any plans to do that here.
 
Thank you for the reply. There already is the thread rating system in place. Oh well:)
I see under statistics there is also a running total of "likes" received" But that means we need to get a some more smileys with a "Heart":o

I think it's pretty silly. What are we, a bunch of 13 year old girls? OMGROFLMAO
 
Say it isn't so. It's "like" junior high school. He likes me, he doesn't like me. Come on, we're grown adults who carry guns. Not teenagers who like...what do they like?
 
Agreed, this seems very popularity contest-ish. Although, maybe it's also doubling as a troll finder aka troller. NICE!
 
I don't have facebook but I don't want to be left out so I clicked on it a couple of times. I feel kind of cheery all over now. If S&Wchad likes it, I probably do also.:)

Is that what it is, a Facebook Thing?? How about alternatives such as:

Don't Like
Don't Care ??

How come the totaled "likes" at the top of the page is one greater than the separately tallied likes in the drop-down list.

I don't like that.

Good question. Maybe it's assumes that the OP likes what he posted and adds him to the total! Maybe it's just wrong.


As I said, the feature is new to me and I haven't heard anything official about it. I only know what I've read online and what I've observed by trying it. It may cut down on "empty" messages like, "+1!!!!!!!!!" or "LOL!!!!!!!!" or "^^^^ What he said!" that don't really add to a discussion.
 
Another thing I noticed is that it adds to your notifications, so to me it appears that I have a new PM, but then when you click on it it is for the "likes".

Pretty annoying.

Sure hope you have a "board" meeting soon.:)

I think it's pretty foolish, let's not add to the "Facebook-ification" of America........

You go online to talk about a gun made in 1902 and then you have people "liking" the thread. It's bad enough the Twitter lingo has spread over to the internet forums, a couple guys are like "Found a .380 BodyGuard today W00T!!" it's pretty annoying.
 
I think it's a good feature, an easy way to say you agree with a post. Not crazy about the heart though. A bullseye would be cool.
