hearts

I have warmed up to them, a little bit. . I will tell you why. I am not into the prayer, condolences etc. type of threads. (I read , but usually don't reply). I like that you can heart the post (to let them know you are thinking about them/etc), but not actually reply. (for all eyes to see)

Hi, @missy1! I like the hearts, too, for many reasons. They allow us to agree with or appreciate a post without all the quotes and "ITAs" and I think this simple feature has allowed us to let more posters know we see their comments and let them know they're not "invisible posters."

I did want to mention, however, in case you're not aware... it is there for "all eyes to see." When anyone clicks on the number to the right of a heart they'll see a list of the posters who "hearted" the post.

Thanks for letting me know about the hearted posts (I wasn't aware). I really just didn't want people to read my replies with those "type of posts". So now I can heart them with no words being seen. It's confusing.
