Me too! I guess I am just to old for all this new stuff.
I find that I would rather tell someone I like something instead of using the like button. It feels like we lose the personal touch by using it.
Okay......so it's not just me! I agree 100% with Brook. I do feel that with using the "like button" we are losing some of the personal touch. I guess I enjoy getting/sending a PM, visitor message, post or comment to/from someone. We all appreciate the encouragement, thanks, prayers and applause that we get from one another. When you need a good laugh from reading funny comments of someone's post.......well, the like notification/button just doesn't seem to do the job! They need to go back to the notification of a PM, visitor message or comment on someone's album and do away with "like/thanks". So glad it's not just me....I thought I was missing something! :)
Ha.. this is funny... I was just about to post a ? about all this... so here's my take
1... If you like (LOVE) something... make a post or send a pm... that's very nice of you!!!
2... If you like giving a little "thumbs up of appreciation".. or "quickie" thanks... use the button...
but...
3.... For heavens sakes tell me HOW TO CONTROL that long list of "likes/thanks" that is growing.... i have this thing about too much stuff on my computer and worry it's gonna burst!!! :) Does anyone know...I know how to control pm's,, that's out of control as it is...
I'm the girl that still cannot understand WHERE all the stuff goes when i EMPTY TRASH... there should be a slot with a little chip that can come out and we can "wipe it down" with alcohol and get rid of stuff for good!!!!!:)
AMEN, Sista!!Quote:

Obviously those of us who don't care for the Like button won't use it...it's just the notification thing that's annoying.
I have to agree with the majority, I'm not a big fan of the thanks button. It's too impersonal. When I see a beautiful quilt, I don't just want to let the person know that I like it, I enjoy letting them know WHY I like it. It's not much quicker than using this Quick Reply box and typing "Beautiful" or "I love it" when you don't know what else to say.... Just my two cents...
And Bernice darling, you're not "too old" because I'm only 26 (and an IT professional) and I don't like it either lol
Hi Ladies....
I'm so sorry for all this comotion regarding the Like button - I dont use it to tell people I like their quilt - I would rather comment of course!
the only reason I like it is to bookmark the ones I see and then I can go back and see it again - I cant always sit down and read everyones comments on peoples quilts which I love doing so if I see a quilt and go wow thats awesome I click like so that later on I can go back and look at what I have bookmarked.
I too dont like the notifications - on my other forums we dont get them so I think its controlled int he Admin Control Panel - So I have messaged Al and explained the situation of all your feelings and asked him if he would kindly see if there is a setting to remove the Notifications - not the like/thanks button itself.
People use the thanks button for different reasons - I didnt expect that everytime I "liked/thanked/bookmarked" something that that user would THEN get a notification for that too - so I'm sorry! :( As far as I was aware on a different forum to this the only notification they get is if someone looks under their post and see's who has "liked/thanked/bookmarked" them.
I'm so sorry again for all the confusion I just thought it was a good idea and that it may come useful - I guess I was wrong
here is hoping Al is able to turn those notifications off - I seen this feature on the actual script he is using "Notifications can be disabled on a per-button basis" so fingers crossed!
I'm with you, I like the Thanks feature. The "like" not so much because I like to comment on the photos or posts that I like. But would be nice to have an option to turn off the notices.Quote:
