“Like” posts in the community site

[sperlingj]

It would be nice if there was a way to “like” or to up/down-vote posts on the community page. That could help make useful posts and comments easier to find. Also, the ability to vote for product feedback posts would make it more clear to you guys what features are most important to people in the community.

Hey @sperlingj! If there were a like button I would click it for your idea 😊. This feature isn’t in the forum platform we chose, but we’ll look into adding it either through a 3-party plug-in or custom coding it ourselves. Thanks!

Hey @sperlingj! Your suggestion has been implemented. Like away!

[sperlingj]

Thank Jim!!! It’s awesome that you were able to implement this so quickly. You should add it to the forum pages too (showing total # likes in the thread, in addition to the number of voices and posts). Thanks!!!

[Jim @Emporia]

I agree that would be ideal @sperlingj, but it looks like it would also require a development effort. I’d bet the community would rather we keep them focused improving on the Emporia App for now. We’ll put this in the backlog. Thanks!
