Forum etiquette question

How are the forum reaction buttons - Like/Insightful/Awesome used or tracked, if at all? It doesn't occur to me very frequently to use them, because there are no notifications or summaries of any kind. I want to "reward" or validate people for posting awesome stuff, but those buttons are underwhelming, to say the least.

I just want to make sure I'm participating in the most productive way.

    I don't think they are used necessarily by MFP but don't know for sure. I use them anytime something hits me in a post to use them.

    Thanks, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything. MFP's forum tech seems decades out of date.

    I'll try to start remembering to hit those buttons. Awesomes for everyone!

    You get points for them, they don't mean a whole lot but they do track in your notifications section just like flags and reported posts do

    Wow, I had to go looking for that in the Android app. Thanks for pointing it out! It's too bad they aren't easier to see on the website.

    Go to the menu on top. Press the bell, scroll down and press all notifications and it will come up.

    In the web version, if you get to the page showing these numbers, you can click on each and see the most recent posts that were marked as "Insightful" or "Like" or "Awesome."
