Is it possible to change the wording of the 'Like' button?

@Former-MemberI agree with you.Not sure of the cost or difficulty to resolve.

Initially I was triggered by the word "ike". I decided that if I was to get involved online I had to get over that resistance. I tried to "make up" for the limitations by being personal and sharing as well as just pushing a like button.

I have never enjoyed other peoples' pain and doubt that many people use the button but as the forum is evolving it seems time to broach it again.

Liking your like alternatives @Former-Member

I @Former-Member. I think we have all had similar experiences with the like button before. I had a long period of being ok to like something that really should never be liked. I think that over time I became used to the like button on the forum as a way of saying all the things you highlighted. It mostly means I hear you and feel for you from my experiences. Sometimes it’s a #metoo symbol on the forum as well. I really understand lots of your feelings of discomfort over this. 💜🤗

Good suggestion @Former-Member - I like the alternative "Cares"

@Former-Member I was just thinking this yesterday and apologised to outlander for using the like button but wanted her to know I was hearing her. I couldn't agree with you more.

This is a great discussion and issue @Former-Member thank you for sharing it, I am not sure about the tech side of the forums in regards to changing what buttons say and if they can be changed, but I will be passing this feedback on.

You have come up with some great alternatives to the word "like" too, I quite like a few of those 🙂

thank you @Former-Member @Bunniekins @Appleblossom @Former-Member@Teej @soul for your responses and likes

Appreciate how it resonates with so many more people than just me. I saw your apology yesterday Greenpea, I've hesitated to click 'Like" numberous times, have not on some occasions because it creates too much internal dissonance for me to 'like' how someone else is hurting.

My minimal web creation experience suggests there should be a way to overwrite the word if there isn't a way to change the dimensions of the form the word sits in.

I really hope so.

I'm trying to do my bit to 'Be the change you want to see in the world' one step at a time.

Hi @BlueBells for me, 'agree' doesn't say the same thing as 'care' or 'support'. It's a bit similarish, in my mind, to 'like' for the not-right reasons. heh, also, I might want to offer support, but might not agree with whatever it is.

Words can mean lots of a little ... interesting.
