I think it is a good idea. As you might figure out who is a good person to pay attention too.

I mainly use tapa and can't see which posts are being liked. I frankly find the like button distracting/annoying when I'm on a desktop

I hated it in the beginning. But I'm starting to actually like it.

Color of outer box is somewhat distracting, maybe it could be lighter.

Overall I like the like button, as it adds somewhat of a credibility to a poster, similar to what other forums have.

Feel free to suggest another HEX color.

At first I saw it as a distraction to the site! But I guess I'm getting used to seeing blue boxes, Doesn't bother me to have ,i still think thumbs up and down will be better! (just Don't know what the downs are going to mean if you add It to everyone's personal post count an HT and like!?)

Can we have a poll: Keep or Ditch (insert members nic)?
"LESS IS MORE" It is the cumulative effect that kills deals!!! How many times do I have to say this?  >:(

I think like any big update it's annoying at first. Can only really test it's usefulness after a month or so when everyone is used to it...

Go ahead and start one.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

IMHO i think that likes prove nothing except for the fact that it shows that person has a random posts that other people liked, it doesnt prove knowledge on deals, CC's, etc...
HT's usually prove knowledge on deals and stars and posts usually prove experince on DDF and therefore more trusted on a variety of  questions that pertain to for example CC's etc...
the only thing that would work is if a specific thread(not individiual) has likes or thumbs up and down, to prove the importance of the thread or how good of a deal it is.
