"Liking" Posts?

Unread post by ash2fpga »

Maybe I am mixing up phpbb and vbulletin -- if phpbb has a way to add "liking" a post, any thoughts on adding it?

I don't particularly like posting "I like this" or "me too", but don't mind "liking" a post (e.g., somewhat similar to an "upvote" on a feature request).

I'd rather people voice their opinion than just give "good points" as if this were kindergarten.

phpBB does not have this feature as standard. However I am sure an extension exists to fulfil this requirement. Personally I don't see much benefit, but it's open for discussion on implementation.

True, I do see it "abused" on some forums. I've noticed certain posters would almost always get "liked" by the same group of users, regardless of if the post was useful or not.
