Default Thumbs up thumbs down?

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

I vote for getting rid of the thumbs. Lets keep the forums simple so we can just enjoy them without the extra drama.

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.

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