Dear Mr Ab Editor....,.

[Smowball]

Sorry if it's been asked before but will it ever be possible to have a "like/comment" option nxt to each answer as on FB?? I often want to personally comment or answer specific replies but it's not possible and so any specific replies get swallowed up in the general thread.

[Smowball]

Because answers can come in so quickly that they get lost or you end up wanting to comment on 10 Different opinions

[Smowball]

Thanks ED. it's only a suggestion xx

[murraymints]

ditto smow !! if there had been a like ..it would be ticked !!

[ummmm]

Ark...because you could agree with someone; or find their response funny and instead of ticking 'submit an answer' and then typing in 'lol' or 'I agree' you could click a thumbs up.

[Old_Geezer]

No we aren't having anyone tick to ignore me. You'll just have to do it by hand, er eye, uh whatever.

[murraymints]

who said that ??

[Smowball]

I think it's a good idea! ( thanks ladies!) OG we'll never ignore you : )

[AB Editor]

It's been suggested before - the idea of being able to comment on individual answers.

Would a reply/@ system do a lot of that job? I.e. it would identify which answer or user was being addressed?

[AB Editor]

Just, FYI: http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/AB-Editors-Blog/Question1497261.html

[Arksided]

Don't you think you'll start to alienate and dis-crumple those that have posted a genuinely good answer but don't get a 'like' thumbs up... just because your chummy with them.

[Arksided]

*them, those that you have given a thumbs up to.

[Smowball]

No! Absolutely not. Because I'd have the time to personally go on and comment on every reply

[Arksided]

So the rest of us would be seen as ignoramuses for not using the function.

[woofgang]

The reason i would like the ignore facility is then I wouldn’t have to come on here and scroll through yards of (insert your choice of irrelevant muck stirring junk here) before getting to the good stuff.

[Smowball]

Not at all arksided.just sometimes when I post a question and get lots and lots of replies I often look back and it reads as though I've not acknowledged several people.thats all x

[Arksided]

I'm not having a go at you Smowball xx, It's the idea that I don't like that's all... the changes are forthcoming 'like it or lump it' however we have being given the opportunity by AB to let our thoughts to be known.

[ethandron]

You don't need to acknowledge every single answer individually though do you, just a general 'thanks everyone, some interesting/useful replies' usually suffices.

[Arksided]

I agree, but as Ed is open to suggestions snows will be respected. Some will some won't like the idea.

[Arksided]

*Smowballs' sorry xx

[Smowball]

No worries xx : )
