    I am not sure this is a good idea or not, but a lot of times I find myself laughing at someone's response to another post. Is there a way to create a :lol: or :sidelol: button so that we can let folks know that we think what they posted is funny, but without having to reply? Thoughts?

    Steve :)

    Note: If this idea is lame, please ignore it.

    That is what I use the thanks button for. But I can see your point.

    :up:

    EDIT: what DOES bother me though is how there is a 5 character rule on responses. I can't just quote Sam for truth, can't do "just" the thumbsup guy. thumbDOWN!

    Thanks for the thoughts, everyone (except you enforcerfin33 ;) ). I am glad you kind of see where I am coming from.

    My original thought was to have a :LOL: button similar to the "Thanks" button, but when selected it places the :lol: within their post along the bottom and under their signature. However, to do that (if it can be done) would probably take some serious programing or something not worth the effort. If it could be done, IMO, this would be the best method because it wouldn't add more boxes of text to our screen for us to scroll through, but would still let us communicate without cluttering up threads with unnecessary postings.


    The other option, when selected, might be have it start another mini box of text like what happens when you "thank" someone, located either above the "Thanks" or underneath it. This is where I balk at this idea. For the most part, we are a very tight community and we love to give each other encouragement and thanks. If we add a mini-box for :lol: then on most posts a user would have the original post + a "Thanks" mini-box + a :lol: mini-box. That's a lot of boxes for a post and the big question is how will it affect the continuity of the the thread?

    Thanks again for the thoughts.


    Steve :)
