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..
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...
Eek! There's an option for "dumb" too.
AGREED.
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.
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.
I vote we go back to purraise
HUGS
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.
I'm not worried about spelling, but if somebody rates my post as "dumb", I don't like that at all. That's terrible and insulting.
Does there have to be negative ratings? Are they trying to make this FB where people can be nasty to each other?
Can't the site just be happy happy joy joy, with positive only ratings?
LOL... I can't imagine what would happen with all the posts in "cat voice" if we had a bad spelling option.
Phew, glad to know I'm not the only one who noticed this morning. I was all ready to blame my internet provider. Patience is a virtue!
I have the answer. Just post this every time you want to purraise.
@mightyboosh - I've also tried alternative ways to purraise
Lets See Your Majestic/distinguished Pose!
The trick for me is going to be when things get fixed trying to go back and purraise all the posts that I would like to but can't right now... my memory ain't what it used to be! lol
I was going to purraise this but just realized I can't.
Wow.
