    Recommendation??

    Is there any way to add a "like" button to someone's comment? I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to click on "like" but couldn't because it wasn't an original comment.

    Willy I'm going to move this to the "Suggestion Box" where we compile these types of things. I think that's solely a vBulletin issue, not sure if the IT folk can make that happen or if vB just has to implement it on an update.

        Larger--LOL!! I have a case of essential tremor (trembling hands), which makes it hard to place the cursor on a small button at times. I've concluded that us'n with ET are a group that is discriminated against because so many web site buttons are tiny. It's time to rise up and fight the "establishment". ET Lives Matter!!! LOL

      As Huskee guessed the like button is a function of vBulletin. I'll ask our IT guys if this is possible, but I'm guessing not.

      One thing I know we can do is turn off comments, and then everyone would have to reply to a topic when they want to post something. That way all posts to a thread would be likeable. Personally I'd rather keep things the way they are but it's an option.

        I'd have to say that turning off the comments would be a step backwards from my point of view.

      • We have two weber kettle grills (one LARGE and one small/average), the SnS and the Weber Smokey Mountain 18" smoker. We use both natural lump charcoal and KNB for smoking and measure our temps with a Maverick 733, thermopen and MK4. Favorite beer depends on what is cooking (alt answer is yes).

      Not a big deal if it can't be done. There's always "@whomever", but I am getting lazy in my "golden years" and the "Like" button is easy!

          Most of the other forums that I use do not have comments. It is very easy to quote a post so everyone knows what you are talking about, and it keeps the tread linear. I come on AR sometimes and hit the new posts icon, and I go way back in time because someone commented on an old post. Then I have to scroll and search for where I left off. Frankly, I wouldn't miss the comment feature at all.

          Fireboard: The Ultimate Top Of The Line BBQ Thermometer

          With the ability to monitor up to six temperatures simultaneously with either Bluetooth or Wifi on your mobile phone, tablet, or computer, Fireboard is the best digital thermometer we’ve tested.

          Masterbuilt MPS 340/G ThermoTemp XL Propane Smoker


          This is the first propane smoker with a thermostat, making this baby foolproof. Set ThermoTemp’s dial from 175° to 350°F and the thermostat inside will adjust the burner just like an indoor kitchen oven. All you need to do is add wood to the tray above the burner to start smokin’.

          GrillGrates Take Gas Grills To The Infrared Zone


          GrillGrates(TM) amplify heat, prevent flareups, make flipping foods easier, kill hotspots, flip over to make a fine griddle, and can be easily rmoved from one grill to another. You can even throw wood chips, pellets, or sawdust between the rails and deliver a quick burst of smoke.

          Click here for more about what makes these grates so special


          The Pit Barrel Cooker May Be Too Easy


          The PBC has a rabid cult following for good reason. It is absolutely positively without a doubt the best bargain on a smoker in the world. Period. This baby will cook circles around the cheap offset sideways barrel smokers because temperature control is so much easier.

          Finally, A Great Portable Pellet Smoker


          Green Mountain’s portable Davy Crockett Pellet Smoker is one mean tailgating and picnic machine. But it’s also gaining popularity with people who want to add a small, set it and forget it pellet smoker to their backyard arsenal. And with their WiFi capabilities you can control and monitor Davy Crocket from your smart phone or laptop.

          Heat Resistant Gloves With Extra Long Sleeves Hold The Hot Stuff

          If you’re using oven mitts at the grill, it’s time to trade up. Say hello to these suede welder’s gloves. They’re heat resistant enough to handle hot grill grates, and flexible enough to handle tongs. The extra long sleeves even let you reach deep into the firebox to move hot logs without getting burned.

          The Good-One Is A Superb Grill And A Superb Smoker All In One


          The Good-One Open Range is dramatically different from a traditional offset smoker. By placing the heat source behind and under the smokebox instead of off to the side, Open Range produces even temperature from left to right, something almost impossible to achieve with a standard barrel shaped offset.
