Not Sure if I Like the likes..

[JackEdwards]

What is the difference suppose to be between a like and thanks?

Also, how much more rep speed do I need before I make Ferrari. Cause even though I drove the new Porsche twin turbo a few weeks ago and it was pretty badass. I still hate Porsches.

Thanks in advance.

I look at the like button as a easy way of saying LOL


Here's the scale:
Current Speed Scale

I am at 110 ... That is not that much lower then my car really drives. A beautiful Mitshubishi Carisma Comfort ;-)

The car classifications are based on Post Count, not Rep.

Also, the "Like" will likely replace the "Thanks" -- the two are redundant -- the "like" is native to vBulletin, the "thanks" is not, so likely, we will be saying goodby to "thanks" -- I won't remove it though until I can get the "like" in a more prominent position. It's kind a tucked away in a corner and unseen.


EDIT: Actually, the "like" is apart of vbSEO, not native to vBulletin.

I was just going to say- I don't even have a like button! o_O But ah yes, I see it over there on the right, very teeny tiny.

I use the Thanks button when I like something that someone has posted. I don't know how to check my speed--- though I think I don't have any speed. I pressed the "Speed Post" button on someone's post just to see what it would do--- Is that how you get Rep points?

One of the forum members told me I should sign up for Warrior. I kept seeing people reference it in posts- but I had no clue what it was...I went to check it out, and they have the same, exact layout and wording as here. The only difference is they don't have the recent posting section like we have here when you first click the Forum button.

I have been holding back spamming Warrior telling all of the members to sign up over here. LOL Everything they write seems like a good opportunity for me to respond about how they should be reading TMF and checking out this forum...

But anyway- thanks for pointing out like, thanks, and rep points.

1 question- How can I check my speed? (Even though I know its probably at zero) I just want to get to that locked thread... I hate being left out of the loop!

Just click on Setting on the top right, and your speed is in the blue bar titled "Latest Reputation Received."

[Determined2012]

Thanks @Wade1Mil... So the THANKS get you the speed? I got 3 thanks and it shows I have a WHOLE 7 points!!! WhoooooHoooo! lol

[wade1mil]

So the THANKS get you the speed?

The "SPEED POST" button below each post gives you speed. If I'm not mistaken, MJ just said in another thread that a "Thanks" gives you one point also, but I can't find it.

MJ just said in another thread that a "Thanks" gives you one point also, but I can't find it.

No, not anymore. 1 Thanks = 1 rep point, but now I changed it to 0. Speed Post gives full rep. If you Thanks first, you then can't SPEED the post. This is why I removed the 1pt for Thanks option.

This just shows how hard you really have to work to enter the fastlane.

The "Like" button looks awfully Facebooky. I'm not a Facebook expert, so I don't know the anwer to this but: When I click "Like", does that show up on my wall or something?

[MJ DeMarco]

No but u make a good point -- Ill change the icon so there is no confusion.

[Determined2012]

A lot of entrepreneur buisnessmen liking each other's post- and when you click like a big HEART pops up! I LOVE IT!

[CarrieW]

so did our thanks from before dissappear? or were they converted into likes? just curious I still see them on the left but I got a thing that something was liked. and all I saw was that 1 like.

I am confused now LOL

[Skys]

Hmm.. the 'like' is ugly. Also, I really liked (no pun intented) to see who thanked a certain post. Made it easy to search for the best posts in a thread.

[JasonR]

I'm not a fan of the likes, but I'm also not a fan of Facebook either. The "like" here might be confused with a Facebook like.

[CarrieW]

OMG and I just tried to share a thread and I CANT SHARE TO FB? WTF LOL thats the only social platform I use, I cant believe its not an option!
