I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, or even if it's a valid question. But:

Is hitting the "Thanks" button on someone's post the same thing as hitting the "Like" button of Facebook?

I like a lot of posts I see and would like to let those folks know I do, but I'm not sure if hitting the Thanks button is what I should do or not.

Thanks in advance.

Check

 

I don't know how Facebook works... You say "Thanks in advance" I say you're welcome.
I hit the "Thanks" button when I agree with or appreciate someone else's comment. I find there's no real formal protocol here...
Just don't act like a "Libtard" and you'll be okay here.

 

You are correct with your first post. It just means you agree with that post. And no, I'm not familiar with Face Book but I can imagine.
