Is there a 'like' button on Gransnet as there is on Facebook? When I read some of the comments that make me smile I want to 'like' them instead of writing a reply
.

D has just told me that if I can't see there is a clique then I'm part of it shockblush
I'm struggling with that one. No way can I see it.

I think Polly that was why face book changed their buttons so now you have 5 options, like, love, wow( or amazement) sad and angry .

Seems to work well enough.

The like button would not be hard to add dependent on what GN are running the forum on.

Mumsnet has neither 'like' nor 'edit' buttons. GNHQ is not going to give us something Mumsnet hasn't got!

Why Not? Is it because we are second class ... just the add on perhaps?

Sorry, Anya, I didn't notice your post re not being able to access the desktop site. I dip my toe in the mobile site every so often, just to confirm I don't really like it. Then I switch back.

I think it's fine for GNHQ to say no but an explanation would be nice.

It's too costly.
It's not in our technology or digital plan - so no budget.
Our platform doesn't support it.
Or whatever.....

I don't think the Mumsnet hasn't got it so you can't have it holds any water. Two different markets, two VERY different forum styles.

If Facebook makes it work then it would have to be a pretty persuasive argument to deny it here ( unless the answer is because we say so wink

S'OK Maggie I sometimes miss out whole pages when I'm muddling up the 'previous' last or 'next' buttons confused though I agree I don't like the mobile site one little bit.

I do like the new buttons on Facebook and I think GN technies and HQ ought to move with the times.

I'm losing track of whole threads now, Anya, with all these EU ones. I keep forgetting what I've said where grin

Yes, I like the Facebook buttons too, though I keep dithering over which to go for. I never did cope well when given too much choice.
