The “like” feature

[flyinpilot212121 724]

Any thoughts on changing the “like” feature symbol...The heart thing is really odd, be nice to change from the heart to something else like a thumbs up or something 😃

I think that subject was discussed a while ago and would involve a major change to the site software.  Just wish I could get the emoticons working!

Ah! Emoticons. Just what is wrong with one set of traditional smilies? i.e. ...Gosh darn it, they've disappeared too! You know the ones I mean, they come as standard with forums

When Facebook first began taking the the Internet by storm, I felt the word "like" was for someone say, 12 years old or younger. 

But in today's social media culture, I suppose it's quite appropriate...

Because it doesn'T mean the same thing!  It is saying "stick this thumb where the sun does not shine!".

You learn something every day.
I've been in Italy many times and never noticed or heard about it.

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Right you are. However, I never got when I should use the heart instead of the upvote. I think a single option would be more meaningful.

That's not true at all, sorry 😛
