Just out of curiosity, do you all think now that MFP has a "like" button, friends or yourself might become a bit more lazy (or just give less of an effort) and comment less because of it? I've been trying to like and comment, and I only see the like button on my computer not my phone...

Just interested to see how everyone feels about it! I'm personally stoked and a lot of people must've asked for it for them to add it, or just simply to be more like facebook,

If i had one thing I would want to change on here it's how you upload pics especially on forums!!! lol

    I don't like the new "like" button to use instead of support comments. I only like it to "like" a comment that is written. Not in place of a comment. I think it takes away from the "personal touch"

    I like it, and it'll make me interact more, not less. If i have nothing to say, I can still use the like button, whereas before I generally didn't comment if I didn't have anything to add. And maybe the like button will replace posts that say "I agree" - well that's no big deal. I don't use the "like" button instead of making a comment. I use it if I like something. If i have something to add to the discussion I'll add it, like button or not. You can like something and leave a comment too. I also like the like button because it lets people know that I read what they wrote, even though I didn't have anything to add to it.

    It's okay! I do think it will take away from the personal more meaningful comments. I will use the like button when I am not able to type a quick message.

    Maybe they should have named it "support" button. But, then it might have a two way meaning on Boobie Friday.
