It's harder than you think to do it (at least, to do it right).

First, I will have to upgrade the website to the beta version of our forum software. (That's the hard part).  Once I get it upgraded, I should be able to add the like button.  The time line would be a few weeks.

Bottom line, I'll do it.  But This summer is hectic, so I don't know when it will be finished.

Ill be "that guy" and say it. This is crap. Half the point of gold membership is the ability to give karma. If you make a "like" button you are effectively removing that priviledge.

I concur....

If you want to use a "like" button, become a gold member!

I've got to go along with that!  This is not facebook or the 'Yahoo News'!

If there were a "like" button, I would have liked the previous 3 posts.  8)

That said, I think you are melding two ideas. Karma is a personal thing, "Like" or "thanking" is separate from that to recognize a good or helpful post. What I thought of when I read about this is androidforums.com where they have a "thanks" button on each post, and if people like the post or found it helpful, they could "thank" the poster by hitting the button.

For example, here is a post where many people "thanked" the poster.

I see a benefit of having both Karma, and "thanks" or "like." Like I said, we use Karma for something different than I see us using a "like" or "thanks."

Just my opinion.
