Default Thanks, or Like

I haven’t been a member on this Forum for years Like some have, but I feel as a member I would Like to say that I really Liked the option to Thank someone for posting something of interest, having a nice comment or to just Thank someone for their posting in general.
The switch from Thank to Like just seems incorrect and weird to use.
Maybe because I’m from the older generation but I personally wish the powers to be on the Forum hadn’t changed Thanking someone to Like.
Just my personal opinion.
I would Like to see it changed back and would be Thankful if it was.
What do the rest of you think.
Thank You

I would like to see both. Sometimes I want to "Thank" someone and there are times when a "Like" is more appropriate.

Greg, I agree with you totally. David Howard did a thread here in C3 that got moved. I can see using the like for different reasons than a thanks, I will continue to post up a thank you. I am an old school dude like a lot of us C3 guys.

I'm with you. I prefer the former voting system better. The term "Like" sounds so teenage texty.
Like-like, you know like, what I mean, like, maybe?

I assume it’s to embrace the Facebook crowd.

i simply pretend that it still says “thanks.”

Closer to politically correct BS or trying not to offend anyone, still BS

I will just thank someone in a reply instead of the like. I will not use LIKE.

I pee standing up, so I don't use Facebook or its "like" derivative.

That is all...

For us old geezers trying to stay relevant with today's generation, I would LIKE ( there's that word again) to share something one of my kids sent me.


THANK YOU!

honestly. who really cares?

people post to try to help others. not for likes or thanks. if the op wants to thank you they can just comment on it.

if anything, its actually an annoyance trying to skim thru the posts really fast when there are sudden breaks between.
kinda like the user "signature", i have it turned off. Can I turn off the likes?? this is like the only tech forum that has this thnks/like feature

I guess I just like streamlined things. But honestly I think im making sense. it saves time and is easier to browse.
I wish I could turn more stuff off lol. even the avatars are bulky with user like stats, 5/10 yrclub etc. for like 10 comments of 1 line text i gotta scroll really long.

When someone answered a question that I posted and found it useful I would push the Thank button to show my appreciation. Now i'll have to type it, 'like' sounds kinda -------.
