Why no possibility to like posts?

Common in many forums and being able to show that I appreciated a posting without the need to reply is a good thing IMHO.

Also the poster will know someone appreciate the posting.

We tried that a few years back and, to put it lightly, it did not work to our advantage. I will leave it at that, thanks for your question.

I'm pleased we haven't got anything like that here. I would get rid of the thread rating too.

It's considered a feature, not a bug.

One of these days Cal will write his memoirs of a mod - that will be interesting

I've heard some of his stories. Let's just say some members are very emotionally invested in the forum.

I do like the idea of a "like" button because it encourages humour in responses.

I could see how the rating buttons could be problematic. How does a cable thread get a 5/5, by shooting down an audiophool cable, or presenting the design for one?

We'll be giving it a try when we move to XenForo, in a format optimized to work for the diyAudio crowd, whatever form that takes. If it doesn't work, it will be removed, like last time

Memoirs of.a.Mod. That might.actually be kinda fun.
