A "like" button?

Someone has done something you like, so you click the thumbs-up, and they get a little thing in their rep list showing you approved of a post they made - regardless of when they posted it, and without breaking the flow of a thread.

not really, correct me if im wrong but dont some people have more rep power than others and you can only rep so much in a space of time ?
so if i liked 4 posts you put up today i could't rep all of them because i have only got so much love to give lol .
i thought rep points were earnt for giving good advice or for achieving something that deserves to be noted and thats how i issue them.
i dont think somebody deserves reputation points for putting up a video of some knob falling off his bike even though it might be funny and i "like" it. but if somebody goes and fits a set of bike carbs or spends a week cleaning up his rusty suspension to look like new then thats when i would give them out.
i can live without a like button but i personally think its a totally different kettle of fish to rep points.

edit see its not just me

Fair enough then - I'll have a look into a 'Like' button for forums

I agree with Rich...I think a "Like' button as well as a Rep button is a good idea. More for the banter threads, as I read alot of the posts but dont dont post myself (not as witty as some of you lol) but would like to say I enjoyed reading the banter without having to +rep.

I can see the value to this.

I still can't see a thumbs up button, gay or otherwise.

My browser is Chrome, which I've refreshed.

seems to be only on new posts?
It's not here but I've liked the thread on the brake caliper re-furb
