I just read a post that I would have clicked a "like" button if IDWF would have had one.

| How hard would it be to implement? I just read a post that I would have clicked a "like" button if IDWF would have had one. |

| It's really not hard. The code is already written over at WME forums, just needed some tweaks to make it work here. We implemented the facebook like button for a few days before and it drastically increased the load time by up to two seconds per page. That is just unacceptable. Implementing our own like button will be the way to go. I want to see how many people would actually use it though because there is a slight load time penalty even with custom implementation. |

| I personally would love that too! |

I would use it all night long.  |

| Well Perry, 11 votes for wanting it if it has no effect on the forum, 3 votes against, I guess you need to make it so it has no effect on the forum ( or at least so it doesn't seem like it does ). |

| Duly noted. I will roll out the feature within a week or two. Lots of testing will be done, that's for sure. |
| Posted by: Möbius Aug 14 2012, 12:56 AM | ||
Thanks, Perry, I am sure a lot of people will appreciate this in the future. |

One or two weeks... |

| Oh Jesus, I am sorry. I forgot about this project... Something happened at the end of August and I was distracted for the longest time. I've been back now since November. I'll start working on this project again. This time I will be more careful with my words and not give an actual ETA. ^^;; |

Was hearing as lately as a few days ago that it's coming very soon™, so there's that. |
| Posted by: Möbius May 7 2015, 02:18 PM | ||
Love the "™" you tacked on there.  |

Soon is always relative.  |
| Posted by: Möbius May 7 2015, 04:06 PM | ||
I think this has to do with his time travel thread. Took a wrong turn somewhere in time. |

Just who "is" Möbius? |

"Everyone" and "No one" |

| Only 2" though? I got the vibe that you were more adventurous than that. |

| To be honest, I think that the like button is a bad idea. I feel that it will take away from users posting because they will just hit the like button instead. Conversations will devolve into lame one-two post discussions with everyone else just taking a side and liking the post that they agree with the most. But then again that's just my thoughts on the matter. Personally I like having seemingly thoughtful conversations where the participants are actively including their ideas on the matter rather than people sitting around in a tight circle nodding at each other in agreement. |
| Posted by: kyonpalm May 29 2015, 05:24 PM | ||
I've brought that point up before, and it was brought to my attention that actually the only posts it will really stop from appearing are one-word ones like "this", "lol", "PERRY WHERE'S MY LIKE BUTTON?" and other useless garbage like that. So it's definitely a good idea. |
| Posted by: THE_HONDA_CG2 May 29 2015, 05:31 PM | ||
Very true. Either way I don't think I'll be using the feature if it ever comes out. When I typically agree with something I usually have something to add to the discussion. |
| Posted by: kyonpalm May 29 2015, 05:33 PM | ||
We need that more than we need a like button, but we can't flip a switch and make people do that like we can to add a like button here (okay it's more than flipping a switch, but you get the idea) so we do what we can do. |
| Posted by: Möbius May 29 2015, 05:52 PM | ||
"We do what we must, because we can"? |
| Posted by: kyonpalm May 29 2015, 05:54 PM | ||
Was hoping someone would catch on to that. |
| Posted by: Tessou May 29 2015, 06:04 PM |
| Here are 100 new features, even if you'll only use 5. |
| Posted by: Möbius May 30 2015, 02:17 PM | ||
It doesn't quite work out that way. Rather than rehashing previous discussions, I'll just post links to posts: https://idforums.net/index.php?showtopic=44615&view=findpost&p=1245769 https://idforums.net/index.php?showtopic=44615&view=findpost&p=1245816 It reinforces posting, not discourages it.  |

| Why is this not a thing yet - what's holding us back? I believe it benefits us as a whole - I mean, the human species - to be freed from the oppression of having to textually state they like a post or submit once again to the gods of the internet, begging to them in a public setting for their prayers to be answered, all in the form of a feature of a forum, a digital thumb of approval. Please free us from these binds and let us like. Our future depends on it. |

| ^ Did you read the full post? Perry said it will come. That means it will come. Eventually. Well, porting the scripts from WME Forums seems to drag the loading times down. |
| Posted by: Rudy Jun 1 2015, 11:24 AM |
| I know it's coming, it'll just be another 2-4 more years. I was just being dramatic. |

| It is on the list of things that will happen. Right now it's impossible. Perry is the sole person that has access to the site's code, and he's currently out of the US. When he gets back, I will harp on him to make this a feature. |
| Posted by: Möbius Jun 1 2015, 01:40 PM | ||
Whenever he gets around to it, that's OK, there's more important things in life. I think Rudy was being overly dramatic to be funny. |
