Default Thumbs up thumbs down?

Does everyone have these choices under a post? When did this happen?

Same here with only a thumbs up, but I didn't notice it till I saw this post.

I have both they are blue like the blue thumbs up on Facebook. I have a thumbs up over the word like, then a white square with a blue number in it, that keeps changing, then a thumbs down. Hmmmmmmmmm interesting.

It just showed up in the last day or two. It appears to only be a thumbs up, or thanks option - I don't see a thumbs down. When you click on it your name will appear underneath the post showing you thanked the person.

I think old format has only thumbs up, new format has both.

I like the idea of both.

I am tinkering with it. Be patient. It's a good feature to have making it more like Facebook.
You will also be able to 'share' the post/thread much more easier.

I have found that the majority of the active members won't hesitate to voice their opinion on whether they like or dislike the contents of a post - and will continue to do so.

Will the like/dislike icon, when hovered over, also show the names of those who like/dislike a particular post - similar to F?. Maybe if an opinionated but less knowledgeable member gets a multitude of dislikes the member will cease to post on a thread. That would be good.
Also, if it would impact on those who's posts deviate from the intent of the thread, it would be good.

Making it more like Facebook seems counterproductive.

I think it's a bad idea. If you don't have something good to say don't say it. Thumbs down will just cause bad feelings.

I’m not a fan as currently configured. The thumbs up/thumbs down is relative to the overall thread so it doesn’t need to be repeated on all posts. In fact it is overly repetitive having it on every reply, and having it jammed right below the reply with no space is distracting. Just stick it on the original post in the subject line and those that are inclined to vote can go back there to voice their opinion.

The ability to thumbs up or thumbs down each individual reply might be handy if and when Chef of the 60’s get’s out of PY jail.

I too just noticed this!

I liked how in the past you could "like"(??) a post if you found it helpful, so I see no harm in this...
I prefer the "PY Online 2015" theme, so I'd hope that if changes are to be implemented, that they would work for any/all themes.

Thinking likewise. Why the need to make it "more like Facebook"? Have you visited the "improved" Classical Pontiac site?

Personally I like the....rate the thread option better with the stars rating. However I am open to trying this new Administrative decision to add the thumbs up or down and see how it goes.



Ohhh and I will be horribly upset if people thumbs down my posts.

NOT!
