The "Like" Button

[BananaHands]

What are the chances that you'll change the 'like' button to a 'brofist' button?

 

[Dave]

I could totally do that if people wanted it.

But I did move this to the correct forum.

 

[BananaHands]

Thanks for the move, I'd totally 'brofist' you if I could.

Thankfully, I actually have an expensive monitor, and getting any kind of finger/knuckle print on it makes me insanely OCD. So yeah.... no.

 

[Dave]

I wouldn't actually make it a fist. It would be more like just changing the word on the button & stuff like that from "Like" to "Brofist".

Come to think of it, it would need to be updated in a lot of places so would be a pain in the ass.

 

[BananaHands]

Oh, it wouldn't be that picture. I imagined it just saying "Brofist" instead of "Like".

Maybe along with an image like this?

Or this

And this is what I'm doing at work right now. With my photoshop certification.

I fully endorse this.

Downvotes.

Didn't we have those before? I thought we got rid of them because of the drama.

I'm still holding out of an "I commiserate" button. Bro fist is closer than like, though, so I guess we could go that direction.

 

[Tress]

Hence I had to post my downvote as an actual reply. :/

I get so confused!

*runs away*

I marked the excellence of my posts by how many downvotes they got.

The phrase "Like" or "Likes" is used in 114 different templates. To change this so nothing broke I'd have to update each one of them. I like the idea but I don't think it's happening.

They are hard written into the templates? So there's no language subsytem that would allow a forum owner to manage translations without having a new template for each one? Wow. I would have thought they would make that a primary feature from day one.

I brofist how you think.

It is a primary function. I could change the wording on the button from "Like" to "Brofist" very easily. But it would still affect stats and everything else that anchors into that, like how many times a person has been liked, or the points given for trophies based on likes.

Just leave it alone. Like is nice and neutral. I enjoy using it. I don't think I can bring myself to brofist anything.

 

[GasBandit]

Soooo... how about dislikes?

Weird. I see full serifs on the "1".

Compromise, leave the like button as is but word filter the word like into brofist.

 

[makare]

Isn't changing the word what we are talking about?
