As mentioned in a 'real' thread: is there any way to enable different flavors of "like" response for posts?

As the thread title states: Does the forum (BB) s/w used by ASR permit "us" to have a few categories of "like" responses to a thread? Having a few different canned responses would be nice.
Examples from another forum:

https://hifihaven.org/index.php
which uses the Xenforo platform, as does ASR

And from yet another forum (perhaps slightly more "proper" in the use of words rather than emoji - FWIW):

Polk Audio Forum

This one uses Vanilla as a platform

PS And, as long as I am at it*, howabout something akin to these two emoji?

(also from hifihaven)

Thank you for your consideration!

I've been using online forums for like 16 years of my life, almost every single one has 'something' or a 'flair' that makes it unique. Whether that's emoticons, small gifs or whatnot. it kind of allows for more complex emotional expression and nuance.

If I remember correctly @amirm opted out of these reaction options you showed when the upgrade happened few weeks ago.

I already have this, what more would I need?

 

[mhardy6647]

mmmm... that might come in handy now and again.

Yeh, I saw your reply about it in that other thread. The only forum I know that has it is thaivisaforums, which is not XenForo but I see the example here that is XenForo.

Re the editor emoticons...the main thing is that there is no Laughing/LOL one.
That face-palm one, you know, it took a little while for me to even see what it is supposed to be. I often think, it's 2021, why are forum emoticons so...retarded, when all the time I see a stream of headlines about new tech and so on. Although Gmail is not bad, and Facebook, and VK has a huge list of them, even divided into categories.
The only other XenForo forum I know is BCMTouring - quite different set of them, and for some reason the package includes about 4 or 5 that are firing/shooting/machine-gunning...

Some very useful ones there - the mooning/brown-eye one, toilet flushing [the bs away], the drinking ones...

Some of those emoticons are nice to show one is not being mean or rude, but simply trying to make some point etc.

It allows the mood of the poster in that post to show his intentions.

Instead of constantly saying "I do not mean this to sound mean spirited...etc"

 

[mhardy6647]

Well... I mean... I do usually mean for it to sound mean-spirited...



But, yeah, I take your point.
