This feature is still in test and may be removed.

Awesome, love it!

Sorry to say that, but for me it is useless and waste.
Luxury would be if a click on a link in this board will open the link in a new window and not the same window.

Luckily this can be very, very simply solved. Just CTRL-click (Mac users CMD-click that same link. And/or set it as a setting in your browser-settings.

Great!
That way we can easily show our appreciation without bloating build logs unnecessarily.

[Steve Stuart]

Christoffer has hit it on the nail, it is a way of giving gentle and meaningful applause. There are many things that I follow, but either have no need or desire to comment on. Plus equally there are things that I post about that others will feel the same way about, now I hope, I can take heart that whilst unreplied to a post may well be appreciated once read.

Yes, you both hit the nailhead. That is the problem of today - no one takes the time to talk to each other,
or in this case "take the time to drop a line."
The basement of our knowledge and intelligence is communication and discussion. Also in our hobby, I think.
For me, to drop a line is more gentle and more honour of a build log and 100% more communicative.

Maybe these days I'm alone with my opinion.

Not at all... and a Like Button does not eliminate the ability or motivation to post a personal "atta-boy." Or follow-on questions, communications or personal Kudos.

But it can be nice to just acknowledge something you like quickly and without adding to the threads.

And... remember... you can do both!

Cheers,
