I really like the new NEWS share that is on here, but some things might better be responded to with other emotions than 'I like it!' in case someone posts something gruesome or suchlike...lol

Just a thought :) Thanks again for the addition!

Basically it's just a thumbs up, up-vote button. If you believe the news deserves it.

But it 'appears' to endorse and 'like' things like the serial killer East End Rapist story..or to 'like' the fact that thousands got washed out in a tsunami in Fiji...perhaps text could be changed to "Good Story!"

@ThomasinaPaine Renamed to 'Upvote'

@Dr.Evil Still the same effect as "like". ---'Upvote" for the (often dreadful) content or simply sharing the post? <br> <br> I liked Pure Vodka's idea 'Thanks for posting". A generic that endorses nothing but the sharing of an interesting news story, whether it's horrible or inspiring or funny or whatever.

I prefer "thanks for posting" to "I like it" in those cases myself. <br> Some of the posts are not likable in content for sure.

@Dr.Evil Perhaps you should modify the "suggestions" to read "don't make any" then.

@ThomasinaPaine I think that Upvote is fine. We use votes when we sort news (top)

@Dr.Evil Three others besides me preferred "Thanks for posting". You like "Upvote" <br> That clears up whose opinion matters...lol

@ThomasinaPaine Thanks for posting is not suitable here and too long.

People b**ched on Facebook till they added the tear drip sad emoji. My upvote is "thanks for posting". I'm good. most would know you didn't "enjoy" a horrific story Common sense. I know that is not very PC of me.

I voted for the "thanks for posting" acknowledgement too. <br> It's simply better to say what you mean and mean what you say imho.
