Implemented add ability to like a private conversation

[gib]

I can edit, report or reply to a private conversation, but I can't LIKE a conversation

Would it be possible to add a LIKE option ?

I would suppose members would team up and Like boost. You have no idea what people do to get Likes these days...

 

[Robbo]

And I don't really see the point.

And I don't really see the point.

let's say someone starts a 5 way conversation and someone else wants to like a particluar response or suggestion, it's currently not possible to do so.

Why would you want to like a post in a conversation? It's not feasible as only the participants are going to see it..

Due to one of my forum members asking for it.

Someone made a suggestion in a personal conversation (with 5 participants) and someone wanted to like the suggestion, but can't

Repost the Private Conversation to the forums and Like it there.

then it wouldn't be a private conversation

If it's not public it really doesn't need Likes then.

I don't see a feasible reason because of one person wanting it...

Then they could reply "I like that idea!", done. Adding the ability to like an item in a conversation is just wasted database space, in my opinion. I could see if like 100-1,000 people wanted it - but judging by the posts here, that's not the case.

well, I just went to like a PC & realized you can't.

i would like the ability but I'd like to ACP option to decide if PC like count towards your like count or not.

Use this: +Like or +1 or .....

Conversations in general do not need to be liked. To 'like' something is to express an interest and for entire community to recognize. If it is private, there is no point, as they will not be able to view it?

Imagine your recent activity: Audentio recently liked a private conversation. (No link to view it as it is private) No point.

Maybe on your forum it is, but I would like to have the option to like a private conversation response.
We will beg to differ on it

Well... like applies to community and since it is counted in a displayed total for each person on the board...and is viewable publicly, so should be the posts which have gained those likes.

liking msgs in your inbox would kind of open up circumventing the transparency of the like system the way it is now and more than likely would be abused.

On the other hand I have often gotten help in an inbox msg and really wanted to like the post for the response before I even followed the advice in the post just as a way of saying thanks quickly as I continue to read their post.

The only way to meet halfway is to be able to like a inbox msg and have the like be null as far as adding to the user's stats that can be seen publicly.

 

[x_Stricken_x]

It would be code wasted. A lot of communities wouldn't use it, and those that do get no benefit from it.

 

[Thiel]

I agree with this 100% but, its easy to like spam someone if you tell them too.

 

[Digital Doctor]

To like a personal conversation ... do it manually.

+Like

 

[Digital Doctor]

Actually maybe the people who want +Like in PC are having important and ongoing conversations with lots of other members.
In that case, Like would be useful.

However, I think you probably need a private forum !

or get Social Groups.
