2011-07-10 [Alexi Ice]: I think the first option should just be 'Remain as is' or something like that....it confused me a bit when I first read the poll.

2011-07-10 [Lord Josmar]: I think if you switch it like/dislike then it will get used more because people will associate it with the like option on Facebook.

2011-07-10 [Stephen]: Yarr. :D

"How should the 'Fan/Unfan' feature to be named?" sounds kind of weird, by the way. o.o

2011-07-10 [windowframe]: @Akane: No, it needs to let people know what it actually *is* now, in case people have forgotten/just didn't know. I only actually realised that the current button to un-fan says 'unfancy' very recently (I just assumed it would say 'unfan'), and talking to other people, it seemed I wasn't the only one.

@Josmar: This is true, but not necessarily a good thing. ET isn't FB, do we really want them to associated it with it? Lots of sites have had for a long time a thumbs up/thumbs down option for postings, and lots of them call it something entirely different to facebook's like/dislike. One site I use actually has options where you can rate other people's posts with several different options: agree/disagree/informative/funny. I was actually wondering if something like that might work on ET's wiki-rating system, but I'll stop rambling now and post that on Redesigning ET. <_< 

2011-07-10 [wicked fae mage]: Boo! and Woo!

2011-07-11 [Nocturnaliss]: I actually haven't noticed that feature yet, but my first reaction when I read the poll was: what the hell, when did we become Facebook ?

2011-07-11 [windowframe]: Our Fan/Unfancy button is only for wiki-pages. Though Facebook definitely popularised the "like" and has the most prolific (and annoying <_<) use of it, other sites have been using it far longer, as thumbs up/thumbs down, tick or cross, positive/negative ratings, etc.

2011-07-11 [windowframe]: Added, [wicked fae mage]. :)

2011-07-11 [Nocturnaliss]: Hah, guess I never noticed that on other sites XD

2011-07-11 [Lord Josmar]: I hardly ever use it, but I think it is a nice (semi-secret) way to advertise wikis as all the wikis you fan are shown in your house. Unless you have clicked off the option...if there is an option to click out of it.
