Am very aware that this has been requested...But, am sure it is relatively easy to add this option....
I'm becoming very irritable at reading posts that quote several posters prior comments .. maybe its the general mood of the moment, but my patience is dwindling to read copious posts..hope I've not offended anyone heresmile

I do not think a “like” icon would be a good thing for GN

Anniebach Tue 06-Aug-24 23:26:20

No thank you

henetha Tue 06-Aug-24 23:35:35

Absolutely not. Please don't. It would be divisive and put some of us off posting anything.

As I said, an AGREE button is better than a like button.

I often post and find that my responses get no further mention in the thread. It’s like standing in an empty room and shouting at myself. It’s very disheartening to think that my effort isn’t worth anything. A like/dislike button would mean that my post has been read and maybe of value to someone.

Please add a button.

So are you suggesting that we all comment on every post? 🤦🏼‍♀️

Marydoll Wed 07-Aug-24 08:35:42

Weathertomorrow it happens to all, of us! I wouldn't take it personally!

Petra, responded, as did I.😉

Please, please GNHQ - don't add a like or agree button.

A lot of paranoia here. I suppose most don’t like the ‘like’ buttons on Facebook, either. They won’t do it anyway, it would take a bit of effort and we aren’t worth the bother.

Please don't. I feel some posts on Mumsnet are very dramatised and looking for likes. I would hate that to happen here.

Not paranoia at all.

Not all posters are kind. sad

No thanks. Leave well alone.

I also get tired of ploughing through quoted posts .
It puts me off reading the post .

But, do you have to. Useful for context but you probably don't need to reread it if you gave read the whole thread - usually quite a good idea.

Y’know what I’d like a button for? One that gives a mild electric shock if I stay on here for more than 15 mins.😄
