Oh and many many times ( like everyday) i have wished this forum had a "like" button for comments posted on this forum. Just to agree or say you liked someones post you have to make a whole post and quote the person.

I agree. It is nice to have a way to signal agreement that doesn't take up inches of space on the page. :agree:

We kinda already have that.
Well, I think you proved my point. Look at the real estate that takes up when you incude the quote plus all the blah blah of the headline and time and your info. Compare that to one tiny little Like and it's no contest.

Like is too simple. "My Grandmother Died"
- vision63 and 17 others liked this.

Good point. Although in a case like that, a person ought to be able to find a few words to say to the person!

Upon reflection, what we need to do here is stop quoting and start using the @. Example coming up.
