Like Button on Forum for Posts

sparkle1
Hi - I know I can ad a Facebook 'Like' button at the top of my page.  

However someone was asking about having a 'Like' button after each post.

If it is possible is it simple to execute?

Would you like a facebook like button after each post or your own like button?

Well I did think so but not sure if everyone would want it now.

Just wondered if it was possible - and of course we wouldn't want it linking to Facebook at all.

Yes, such feature would be nice to have.  As I saw on, say, IP.Board forums there are "Like" buttons for every post, so one can gain reputation on forum by the amount of Likes of his posts.

I will think about. Maybe we can improve the star feature.

Hi, we used to have a rating system a long time ago at http://old.nabble.com/ . Some people eventually got sad when their posts had gotten a few "likes".
It was't causing  a satisfatory reaction, so that we removed this feature.
Do you still want it?

Well it is a good idea but as you say some of my members also thought it might lead to people being upset at their posts not getting 'liked' so I think I'll not bother for now thanks.
