How To P(ur)raise / To Like

[mama africa]

Hi,
I noticed that the mention 'Purraise' has disappeared (without any alternative possibility to like posts).

Best regards,
Karine

It's being overhauled, afaik.

 

[mama africa]

Ok, thanks for your response, jcat . I'll be patient...

Hello folks in admin -

Here's what I see on my screen nowadays:

There's no option to "Like" someone's posts - no doubt because I'm on a Windows platform and not a SmartPhone. Can we please address this issue? Thanks!

Personal aside to @Anne - "Like" is a FaceBook thing. "Purraise," fit TCS to a "T." It was a signature thing - a way for TCS to say, "we have a sense of humour, we're different, and we're all about cats!" Personal opinion of "Like" -

Side note: I'm currently on a smartphone, and also don't see the option. I'm assuming due to the overhaul? I'm smartphone equipped, but not that smart about the interwebs, so I'll just stay in the "being patient" boat as well. Thanks for letting us know what's up. For a second I thought I had "used up" all my purrause for a given period! Lol.

Need the Purraise back to purraise that.

I came to check a thread, went to purraise a post, and saw the option was gone... then I saw previous purraises had turned into likes, and thought I'd tripped into the Twilight Zone.

I also liked "Purraise" because cats purr. Bring it back and I will actually use it this time.

Double praise... (or is that triple, now?)

I get that the "like" has become a generic and quickly identifiable icon, but I really liked that these forums had given it their own little uniqueness.

I saw all the "likes" this morning, and was kind of wondering if they did an upgrade to the platform..

Now, I am missing the Purraise!!! or "Likes"

Glad I am not alone..

 

[PushPurrCatPaws]

I am confident that whatever the overhaul with the Likes/Purraises, everything will be okay! They are probably just trying out some options while a default is set up for us in the meantime.

In the Profile section, I saw the Ratings area (this could be the default option for "Likes" until it is overhauled):-


and one of those is a little rainbow icon for "Optimistic"


Another is for "Bad spelling" so I hope that one doesn't get used!

Anyway, I am sure this is temporary...

 

[Brian007]

Eek! There's an option for "dumb" too.

AGREED.

 

[AndreaXan]

I just signed up recently but I really liked purrraise too!! It made the site feel like home and not like facebook.
Pushpurrpawsclaws yes! Dumb and bad spelling and disagree and dislike are all so negative. I like how this site is so friendly and upbeat and positive!! Even the fund raising thread is called mega pawsitive!!! I hope purrraise comes back too!!!

Well, FWIW............personally, I have zip, zero, zilch regard for Farcebook.

Yes, I realize that this is not the IMO forum........so, I'll just say this: My wish is that the good folks who are doing the "overhaul" remember the wise old addage "IF IT AIN'T BROKE, (please) don't attempt to fix it".

I wonder about the added value of these negative ratings.
English being my third language, I'm not happy with the rating 'bad spelling'. I know I make mistakes, but now I could be given a negative rating because of that...
And I support purraises instead of likes.

 

[kashmir64]

I don't like the idea of putting any type of negative on this site. I vote for 'purraise' instead of 'like'.
The main reason I love this site is not only because of the excellent advice given, but also because it's the friendliest site I've ever been on. If 'dumb' or 'bad spelling' is put on, I may just leave the site.

I hope that whomever is redoing this option takes into account that English may not be the posters first language, and that most of us cannot type without a cat either in our laps or on the keyboard. (which hinders spelling). We all know what the person is trying to say, there is no reason to be nasty and negative.

 

[foxxycat]

I vote we go back to purraise

Main reason I left pinterest is because they kept changing things when all was good. I really liked the positiveness of that site too. I miss it but couldn't stand the so called "upgrades' every week.
