Yes. When you click it, it will change the heart total.

It's the equalvalent of the "like" button on FB and other social media sites.

I did that just for the heck of it. Not sure what it is really supposed to mean. That I like the post?

It is a quick way to tell someone you like what they said, or you agree with what they said, without having to format a whole sentence to say so. It is a 'like' button if you are on Facebook. If not on Facebook, it is just a shortcut to "ya, nice post".

 

I am happy to have that option. So many times a thread might stay empty as if no one even read it. Now the like button will at least let people give a thumbs up or a nod without a whole lot of time or effort. Many times I want to let a poster know I read it, but have nothing to add to their thought other than "Ya, great post", or "ya, good thought"....

Thank you! That makes sense now -- I didn't want to click it until I was sure!

And you'll be notified by who gave you the heart buttons.  I like it!
