Menderman recommended adding a like post button because he says there are times he doesn’t have time, or feel the need, to comment on a post he likes.
Since bloggers tend to rate success or failure based on the amount of comments a post generates (this might not always be the case), this seemed like a good idea.
So, if you like a post, click the thumbs up below the post on the right.
If you think this is a good idea, click that button.
Thank You.
Yeah, Menderman! I saw your comment about my critter posts, but didn’t have a reply button to reply to you – hahahahahaha!
Seriously, I am also glad the reply button is gone. It was such a bother to skim through the whole thread to see new comments.
And I do like the “like post” button!
I’d rather be able to fix a comment
so a ‘like’ button is added to generate more clicks….and the price to pay is the loss of the ‘reply’ button
I’m w/ JS …. rather have an ‘edit’ button ….. but I understand how the market works
…carry on….
I’ll miss the reply button. It really wasn’t that damn hard to figure out.
How about a ?
Trump button
Cruz button
Then we can post our allegiance so people can automatically hate someone without having to read their diatribe…
it would be cool if hot topics stayed on the front page.
You know honestly I’ve seen this feature on other sites. We are NOT other sites. I’m against it.
If there were a belly button we could have an inny or an outy.
but it does not appear that there is a belly button lets just let fly with whatever takes place in a galaxy far far away
Brad, are you against it because I am for it?
Hehehehe! I couldn’t help it!!!!
Just ribbin’ ya’ kid, don’t be takin’ it personal like or nuthin’.
🙂
😉
🙂
I don’t know, a LIKE button sounds like too much commitment.
What if I change my mind?
What if Brad posts a comment that I don’t agree with?
Can I rescind my LIKE?
What if I only think Black Lives Matter?
What if I am pissed at BigFurHat?
What if Mr.Pinko doesn’t like a post I like because I deviated from the discussion?
What if I have an erotic dream about MJA?
What if I sober up and decide I don’t really like the post?
Just drink tequila for breakfast, and it’s all good!
The more options the better. A reply and an edit button are good options.
Damn it Menderman I’m trying to reply to you directly but I can’t find the reply button. Oh I get it. This is more Ted Cruz cheating. LOL. I imagine we’d get along fine on the water.
Shit Loco that’s all of them. LOL
I might have missed your post if it wasn’t down here at the bottom of the thread.
and no, I’m not taking your bait….not tonight.
OK WTF is a like post button? If I like a post I hit like. Not like Brad who answers posts but never likes them? Fogetaboutit!
The like button doesn’t count as clicks.
Broncos 26 Panthers 38. I like.
Just for fun, post a story titled “Barney Frank’s Hairy Ass” and let’s introduce the newbies to the sidebar game….Brad will love it!
Panthers 42 Broncos 27. My Governor is gonna give me a signed t-shirt if that is the final score.
The like button doesn’t count as clicks? Then where is the like button?
Menderman must be speaking from experience.
Yup.
No, it doesn’t count as a “click”, as in “revenue generation.”
Come on guys, Peyton Manning is 39. God created no better competitor. No matter what or where you call home, this guy deserves to go go out a winner. Just my opinion. The dude does know the word quit.
@Moetom:
It is to the right of and under the big red “Read More” button. The idea is that if you like a post but have no comment on it, you can leave feed back in the affirmative, roger?
Cam Newton suffered a near fatal wreck in 2014 and was told his career was over.
He doesn’t know “quit” either.
Tommy. I’m the only guy here that likes your posts. Don’t blame me. LOL
“No, it doesn’t count as a “click”, as in “revenue generation.”
That sucks, anything you can do to change that?
I like all the posts. But. I don’t have the time to comment
on each one or click buttons.
I read the BFH posts first when I’m busy.
Later all the rest.
I remember back in the 60’s some Hollywood celebrity
asking a critic where the critics movie was. He wanted to
watch it and critique it.
Another words, I don’t even have a blog. I’m not going
to cut down yours.
I like the new button. There have been stories that I really liked but didn’t know what to say about them in a comment. A lot of times, somebody else has already said what I was thinking about writing. At least the button will let the author know that their story matters to somebody even if they don’t get a lot of comments.
@Bad_Brad – re your Payton Manning post, there’s another thing we can agree on.
Plus, if we had a reply button I wouldn’t have to type your name and the subject in order for you to know what I was talking about. 😉
Agreed, Peyton has to coax just one more great game out of the that 39 yr old body.
Defense wins championships.
Broncos 29
Panthers 24
@ Unruly Refugee-
I agree. Though I question the value of this new button at the expense of individual Reply buttons, which made the comment thread easier to follow. (I think Frank. and Eleanor In Hell would agree.)
So: back to directing replies as per above.
In many cases I want to respond to a comment, rather than the OP. As this is a tough crowd, I generally take some time to frame my comments. Even so, I sometimes find errors after posting. In those cases I miss the Edit button.
How should I use this new button?
Should I “Like” a post about some dismal bint with tampon earrings? Or muckin’ fuzzies overrunning the world? Or a deceased, Viagra-infested john amputated from a hooker? Or a pencil necked, bat eared charlatan mismanaging the Presidency?
Or the latest cackle from Cankles?
……..
Keep up the good work, Mr. Fur.
Button or not, it is truly appreciated. Pet portraits, and Claudia’s critters are always a treat. And the regulars here are among the best on the interwebs.
MJA is delicious.
I kinda miss the TD button.
My $0.02.
Does a click to close an ad generate revenue?
Would much rather have a “reply” button that works. And edit.
🙁
Every thread gets a “like” from me. A lot of work goes into entertaining us, and I just want to express my thanks, whether I post or not.
Of course a few bucks via pay pal would really really really express our thanks.
The only way a “like post” button would tell you anything is if there was also a “dislike post” button. For instance, if 10 readers say they like something, but 100 others can’t say they don’t like it, can you really be confident that you are getting a positive review?
Don’t think so.
