Gransnet Liking Posts

See, I need an edit button - my post should have said how do you make a word bold!

I also would like an edit button, can't think why the powers that be won't agree to one? Also, how do make a word bold? I use my ipad and obviously don't have a right click mouse facility (sorry if I sound dense, IT not my forte!)

No I didn’t know that Gonegirl thanks

Totally agree Greenfinch ??

The roast chicken actually means you cannot continue the conversation at that moment as you have to go off and do other things.

Not many people know that.

I know lots of folk want an edit button, but we do have a Preview message that we can use before Posting message.

An app would be great!

Thank you Petra ?

Oh why not ?? ??? but I haven’t got a roast chicken this is the nearest I can get.... a drumstick ?

But sometimes there are many comments on a thread you like /agree with.

It would make a thread unreadable if it was filled with posts commending numerous posters

A lazy option. Surely it is not too much to ask someone to write a short comment and it makes it much more personal if you name the person whose comment you like.

A like button would be great.

I spend half my life scrolling up and down the same thread to find out what 'mumpkins' said that 'bumkins' thought was "absolutely spot on".

By the time I have gone back two pages I have forgotten the name I was looking for. Or I do make it, only to find that 'Bumpkins' was simply saying the number three bus comes at ten past the hour ?

I think a 'like' button may be perceived as dumbing down, but makes threads more interesting when the posts actually say something meaningful.

I agree with Suziewoozie. But I would like an edit facility.

Chicken ? Yes!

Like ? button No! ?

Ha ha BradfordLass, I like the wine idea. The hammer

I still don't know what the thl thing is, it seems to have a pointy hat but is just a repeat of the faces above.

What does thl mean?

I'd rather have a to denote like but then I'd want a big hammer to show dislike as well.

mcem GNHQ don’t think that would happen , they know it would and they’re right., A like button is petty and childish and so would be very popular with some on GN

A like button would make GN an even more toxic place than it is at the moment - although that may not be possible. What Urm said. ??????✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️

GNHQ don't think we'd deal with it properly and we'd become competitive over how many 'likes' we'd receive.
An edit button is another big no-no.
Many, many requests for these and all turned down over the years.

You have to put the parentheses either side of the 'roast chicken'

Even now I still look for the 'like' button, I guess too much Facebook for me

Lol I haven't got the hang of this?

Roast chicken

I would quite like a 'like' option.

Sometimes one sees a super post that requires acknowledgment but there's not much to be done about it.

It would be tedious for one and all if we all started just tapping people's names and saying 'good post'.

Oh yes, never noticed. I don't have thumbs up on my laptop, but do have . How bizarre!
