New "Like" Feature
« on: November 19, 2014, 12:15:37 pm »
Well, the "Like" feature has only been out for a little while, and it's already annoying me. I know this sounds stupid because when I joined after leaving Zok my immediate comment/reaction was, "Where the hell is the "Like"/"Thank Post" button?". The issue isn't that I don't like it, but the issue is that when I'm browsing a forum, the "Like" button is highlighted in blue like I took my mouse and selected the words. This annoys the hell out of me because it makes me think I have shit selected, and I'm so used to accidentally backing up to another page if I hit backspace when typing a response. So, is it just me, or does everyone's "Like" button look like this? Don't get me wrong, I love that it was added to the site, but just find myself mildly annoyed and to be honest, paranoid because it looks like it's selected. Yeah, so, that's all for my bitching and moaning. If anyone else's looks like this, I'd appreciate them letting me know it's not just me, and maybe even as to why it's highlighted.

We should change the color to clear.

Better than the shit orange color it originally was.

Looks like something off Facebook. Zuckerberg is a suspected aspie. Arnox is a confirmed aspie. Maybe that particular shade of blue is pleasing to autismos in the same way the UV light from bug-zappers is to insects. I can just imagine Arnox, face pressed against his screen, gently licking the like buttons on each user's post.

Liking is way more fagulous than thanks.

The like process just reeks of holding hands and singing 'Kumbaya' in a nurturing, cruelty free environment where everyone is special cause they're - special.

Remember, you can't all be winners. Everybody gets a participation ribbon though. *claps hysterically and cheers*

I could just change it to black and be done with it.

And sorry, can't change the name of it.

I thought you were going to have surgery for that?

Which members actually asked for this particular thanks/like system? You said it was asked for but you've not said by whom.

The majority seem to dislike it.
