Why do we have to 'Like' posts that are sad to aknowledge they've been read?

Why is it always a 'Like' 

On our site most posts are from  poor folk crying out for help and support in their grief. Yet to  acknowledge we've read their posts,  but with no reply that we feel inspired to respond,   all we've got is a 'Like' icon!  Well I DONT LIKE what Ive read. I don't LIKE  the suffering they are going through. I once brought this topic up to the Facebook administrators but that fell on deaf ears. Surely its not beyond the website creaters  to give us a 'Read' icon. Or a ' Seen' icon. I'm most surprised that the MacMillan organisers didn't  see this themselves. I've put this same point to the Sue Ryder Community Support site and I'm told they've already got plans to do away with this 'Like' nonsense and are creating a 'Love' icon and one other choice that's appropriate to their sites ethos.

    At the end of all our journeying will be to find ourselves back where we started knowing the place for the first time. TS ELIOT.

  • Of course, it's why I'm offering mine as it differs from yours. Gives a more rounded view in a thread if there are varying opinions in it to be discussed and debated.

    I have no medical training, everything I post is an opinion or educated guess. It is not medical advice.

  • I’d quite like a ‘support’ button as on the Inspire forum

    Fear of the unknown is the worst thing. Once we know what we're facing, we find the strength to deal with it.
