I agree, it's the "Like" that I want most for that reason, showing acknowledgement.
I'm not worrried about having all the other options.

I also use HotUkDeals, that forum only has a 'Like' rating, like this forum used to only have.
Take a look in the Misc section, posters that are forum mates on there all 'like' each others posts like crazy. Someone comes on and just says 'Hi' and all the posters they get on with will 'LIke' that post. I find it all a bit twee.
But at least they dont have a 'Dislike' or 'bad karma' like some forums have..... if they did, it would end being post rating wars on there. With 'dislike' going back & forth..... and people constantly getting 'disliked' just because they once said something inflammatory ages ago.

Post ratings can even work in the opposite way you'd expect....
A forum i've used in the past is Bike Chat Forums, also known as BCF.
They have a post karma system, with posts being given good or bad karma. Depending on how much you get, the ratio will show on every post you make, in the end your account being red flagged. Some posters after getting a fair bit of bad karma, will then actively try to get as much bad karma as possible by p!ssin off as many other posters as possible, just as a way of sticking 2 fingers up to the whole karma, post rating system. Some of them really go to town, especially as you can pretty much say whatever you want on that forum.
Ironically, i find myself having some respect for those posters.

The questions that should be asked about post ratings are.....
Are their any benefits of having a 'like' rating for posts in a forum ?..... I'd say yes there are.
Are there any benefits of having derogatory post ratings like 'dislike', 'disagree' or any other post ratings that basically puts a post down ?..... I cant see any benefits at all, they just cause animosity.

If this is what the poster is awarded after spending considerable time writing this informative post then I am against the continuation of the trail.

Most times I'm using my iPad, big shaky fingers and little thing to press don't perform to well. Didn't mean to offend anyone, most of my posts are meant to be numerous.
I ought to have checked.
if you see what I manage to put down you would know how much I rely on the magic of modern computers and the auto spell check. But trail/trial would get bypassed. Anyway, you did it on purpose hence it being in italics.
Hi Dave,
Unfortunately it's not possible to show the names without having to click the "List" link.
Technically speaking, it's because the software would have to go off and find all the names in the database each time which would impact server performance.
Personally,I don't find it an improvement,if anything I find it confusing....don't sort what don't need sorting.
Russ....you would be the perfect tester to test the G-tech e-bike,we would see you as impartial.....it will be interesting if they would loan you one for a proper test.
