Tom Geiger Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Kinda drives ya nutz! I stop by the board and I see I have a reply! I get excited and click on it only to find “someone reacted”! Bummer! 3 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too hard? Must be considering the large number of replies which contain every stinkin' photo found in the original quoted post. Then, there will be others immediately following doing the same thing. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plowboy Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 One thing that annoys me is when someone reacts to a post of mine, is it doesn't show what kind of reaction was left. What's the point in that? But, I can see the type of reactions others have left in everyone else's posts. It's like everyone else knows the reaction your post got except for you. The reactions are completely anonymous to the person getting the reaction. Again, what's the point? 2 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reactions are completely anonymous to the person getting the reaction. Again, what's the point? You should be able to see what kind of reaction, and how many tagged you with it. The "reactions" are shown on the bottom right of your post that was "reacted to". You should see one or more of the 4 icons, along with a count of how many people tagged your post with that "reaction". If you hover over each (of using a mouse), it should describe which emotion it is. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugatti Fan Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 This discussion can go on 'ad infinitum' by the looks of it! We all have our own perceptions about how and whether to use the 'like' button or not. I agree that ' someone reacted' does leave people hanging not knowing what the intent of the reaction was. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglia105E Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 My view, for what it's worth....... I always try to make the effort to compose a meaningful and relevant response to a topic that a member has gone to the trouble of posting, when I have been reading their detailed explanation and studied their photos. As long as I have something to say that is complimentary about their important project, then I do think about what I am saying. The ' Like ' button, as someone mentioned, is jut plain lazy...... It is there for those who cannot be bothered to type an intelligent commentary. Sorry to be so blunt about the ' Like ' button people, but that is my honest opinion. This is one of many reasons why I do not like Facebook (no pun intended) David 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what he’s saying is that if you really “like” something, don’t you want people to “know” that you like it? If I react to something, I want that person to know that it was me that was reacting. I guess unless it’s a bad reaction. Then I suppose that it’s beneficial to be able to “hide” behind the anonymity. That’s not necessarily stupid, but it is cowardly.

I do not think the people who use the like button are stupid, but I am saying that they are LAZY How long does it take to hit the ' Like ' button, and how long does it take to type a well worded response message?

SfanGoch Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 It's more like lazy. Emoticons encourage laziness. Besides, if someone can't be bothered to reply with words, why even bother using emoticons? That's at least .002 seconds that they could have used doing something vastly more important. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Painted Black Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) It is there for those who cannot be bothered to type an intelligent commentary.* If you had not said "intelligent" and just said can't be bothered to reply, I would have to agreed. But its that word that bothers me, do we all have to be intelligent to reply?* I'm done here...you guy's enjoy your intelligent commentary. Definition of intelligent 1a: having or indicating a high or satisfactory degree of intelligence and mental capacity b: revealing or reflecting good judgment or sound thought : SKILLFUL 2a: possessing intelligence b: guided or directed by intellect : RATIONAL * Edited September 21, 2021 by Painted Black 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like/etc buttons have been standard functionality on internet groups/forums and social media for ages, it's just late coming here... nothing new.

That has to be one of the greatest excuses of all times. And I'm going to go and give you all 3 flavors of "likes" that are available!! Way to go Rob! EDIT: Darn! I can only give one of the three.

Interesting, however, is that all the "confused" response almost universally demonstrates is that the person using it can't read and comprehend simple English.
