Likes system added to vbulletin.org

I'm CEO of my forum too...

There's a huge overlap between this and the reputation system, but I still think it's interesting to see who 'likes' my posts. Getting into dislike is not worth it.

It would be nice to see AJAX though... I was actually surprised when the page reloaded.

Something like this for vBulletin 4 would be a godsend.

The "thank you" mod has been abandoned by its developer and is no longer supported. To keep it working folks are posting their own hacked versions, and you can't be sure of what you're getting.

I tried the DragonByte Thanks mod, and was really turned off by how it drastically it changes the appearance of posts by doubling the solid bars beneath them.

If someone would make something like this available, it would be so great.

I find that the reputation system is better suited as a game for people to rate an individual poster over time.

For example; The reputation I run is where an individual poster can give you +/- internets once. Reputation comments are then showed in that user's profile anonymously so everyone can read & laugh.

(Total: 105,976 Reputation Comments)
(Top: Erronius (352), EnigmaticParadigm (337), Alcestis (287), Zehn - Vhex (245), Wolfen (234), Ravvenn (228), Screamfeeder (226), Soygen (171), adebisi (166), Requiem (154))



The like system is completely different, because you are rating the post, if you like it, and the possibility of extending it to pull out the best posts per thread in some organizational fashion.

From just thinking about it, I would rather enjoy not only for users to mark a post they "like" but those that are "troll", "offtopic", "thanks" or any other describing word that allows further categorization/recognition. This can also branch off into a conscious system where users are labeling another user not only by their "perceived" persona but the actual content they post.

There are NUMEROUS times where people are asking admins to ban someone, yet those kids are the ones drawing the audience/discussion. Point being, there are many instances where what a user posts is more accepted than their persona; two separate entities.

All good things come to those who wait. Its a project for later in the year.

I like the member names displayed but I do see that "The following users liked this post" is really wordy and could be shortened.

LOL lynne i wasn't talking about vb.org , arboristsite.com (Chainsaw hacks)had this exact same configuration when they first turned on the likes, afterward it changed to a word like but for the first week or so it looked just like this.

Ah, OK. Interesting system they had there.
