The beauty of forums like these is that very similar questions do get asked again and again and again.
& get updated and refreshed. & nobody is stuck with having to search to find an answer for not quite what he/she wanted to know which is from 6 months ago, a year ago........
I've been at forums like that, where there were those who knew, but didn't want to have to answer more than once. Wicked to deal with that attitude, especially if said place has a hard to learn search engine.
This way is open to change over time, one wee change at a time, one adjustment for how each of us wants our rig...............

If having a "like" button would reduce the number of responses to questions I think it would be detrimental to the forums "likability". Pretty much the same thing as requiring that any new questions be ORIGINAL questions which have never been discussed previously. Anything that turns it from a discussion forum to a data base "look up" file, I would consider to be a bad thing for the forums.
