</div>I forgot to mention that a while ago we discussed this format :<br>
* (+) Excellent, I use it. [[~Petko]] (datestamp)<br>
* (-) Didn't work for me, PHP 7 required. [[~Peter Bowers]] (datestamp)<br>
<br>
That is : asterisk, (special markup keyword), optional comment, signature.<br>
<br>
There were many messages about the keywords, should they be (+) and (-), (+1),<br>
(support), (endorse), (friend), (user), and more. With (+) and (-) all<br>
nuances of the "friend" and "endorse" words are sipmlified, but one can<br>
explain his friendship, support or endorsement in the optional comment.<br>
<br>
If we happen to agree on a simple format, then a {Recipe-Users$Votes} page<br>
variable can be done to count all "* (+)" and all "* (-)" in the page and<br>
contain something like "(+12, -3)" :<br>
<br>
Discussion: [[Recipe-Talk]], [[Recipe-Users]] (+12, -3)<br>
<br>
And it is fast as it opens one page only.<br>
<br>
And even if a "conversation" starts, the stats will not be broken as the<br>
replies are unlikely to begin with (+) and (-).<br>
<br>
And with such a format, a form-based interface can be easily added, should it<br>
be required.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
