Extra Like options

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

We have a few extra like options now, including a dislike (angry) option. I'd like to know (sorry bad pun) if people want to keep them. I can disable them on an individual basis, or were you happy with just a straight like or nothing position that we had previously?

To clarify, hover over or click on the like button for this post and see what I mean.

I just click on the like thingy, but a few extra might help, a lol button would be good. Some people are really funny and I like to acknowledge that. I don't get angry so an angry wouldn't work with me.

3rd one along, currently labelled haha... but I think I can change that! :haha:

Not sure about the angry/dislike option. That could lead to some bad feelings, especially as tone can be hard to get across online. I like keeping things positive.

I have similar feelings hence me asking what the overall opinion is. I was always taught 'if you've nothing nice to say...'.
It's easy enough to kill the 2 negative ones.

I agree.

OK - 2 negative ones have gone. Any thoughts on the WOW one?

I'd probably lose the wow face and keep the sad face.....sometimes you want to commiserate with something someone has posted (eg. when something went wrong) and "liking" it isn't really appropriate so the sad face is quite useful to convey that. I post on another forum that uses the same software and I think it does help add nuance.

Personally I think the wow face is quite ambiguous...does it mean "wow that's amazing!", or "wow I can't believe you said that!"? Its more open to interpretation.

And I agree that the angry face is not appropriate to this forum though....we don't tend to get into discussions about controversial topics here (which I like!)

Loving the new look though

thank you. I was actually in that area dealing with another issue, so have renamed Sad to Sad or Sorry to convey both options and taken WOW away.
It may take a few minutes or so to filter through.

I reckon the four remaining are just right.

I renamed the last two, I thought it would make it cleared in our context.
