I searched and did not find anything on this but I think it would be a great improvement to the site to have a "Like" button for projects. There are a lot of times I don't really have enough to say to warrant posting a comment but I really like a project someone has done. Is this something the moderators could add?
Notw
Like button
I use the FAVORITE button like the LIKE button on FB. Not only do I like it, I add it to my list of favorite projects and can go back and look in my FAVORITE bucket if I want to revisit that project.
True that is an option; however, I use the favorite button more for projects I would like to one day build myself
No. Though I know many comments are perfunctory, I think that button would further diminish the input from others. It would just be too easy to click it and move on. If you like something, just say so and maybe explain why. It's not really that difficult or time consuming.
We discussed this at one point a few years back. The vast majority voted NOT to have a like button, so you are gonna have to do it the old fashioned way, and just tell them. (grin)
As far as projects, you can use the favorites option to express your like for it.

thanks Cricket for getting me up to speed.

I'm still of the same opinion, but it's not so very hard to live without it.

Maybe it's just me, but I like to read others comments. What people like about a specific project, or questions they have on a project. I think it's interesting to see the different tastes people have. I feel like I have even gotten to know some of you a bit just by your comments.
I completely agree with this and enjoy answering any questions and getting feedback on projects I have posted. Sometimes i just don't have anything to say but really like someone's project so I end up with a comment of "nice" or "looks great". Just wonder if more people would be inclined to leave a response if it was as simple as a "like" button
I follow a forum for one of my two favorite college football teams that has a like button and there is no shortage of commentary on it. Many posters will "like" a another's reply to show agreement and then still make their own response. Another use is acknowledging someone responding to your question, kind of like a thank you.
just curious, why some people are so against it. I am okay whether we have it or not at this point just curious why some people are so against it.
Because if you have a like button it is like facebook people will just hit the like button and not get in the conversation. If they add a like button it would be nice to have a dislike button also but that would get out of hand. You can just use the favorite option and in the text line put build or liked design or whatever you need to distinguish between the projects.
Like means 'too lazy to actually comment.' It's catering to communication in the most impersonal of ways. Basically what diverlloyd said.
Why am I against it? Ljs is not Facebook if a person prefers a "like" button that would be the place to have short Likes.
Ljs thrives on comments Likes are not real comments they show approval and that's about it. Even though I don't always agree with everyone's opinion each person can express their point of view.

Ok, I was just curious. It wasn't going to happen regardless because cricket had said no but with the comments like "no" and "no…please no" I wasn't sure what the reasons behind that were. thanks for clearing it up
