"What is This?" Button Next to the Love-It Button

I keep seeing a bunch of comments on my projects that say stuff like "AMAZING!", "I LOVE IT!" Unfortunately, many of these people fail to press the love it button, even though they apparently love the project. I think there should be an info button next to the love-it button that explains what love-its do.

Well, I think what it does is pretty self explanatory. Maybe instead of that, the love-it button could be next to the comment so it's easier to see.

I don't think it's that self-explanatory. People most likely think that i puts their seal of approval on the game, not that it helps the game to get on the front page.

Yeah, I guess so.

Re: "What is This?" Button Next to the Love-It Button

Good point! But is the love it button pretty easy to see?! HOW could people miss that?! And I have a question: what is the difference between just pressing love it and adding it to your favs?

Undercovergeek, adding it to your favorites makes it available as a project in your favorites, as it would suggest. However, it doesn't help the project creator at all. If you like a project, clicking the love-it button rates the project up (just like liking a video on YouTube) and gives it a better chance of getting the front page.

Re: "What is This?" Button Next to the Love-It Button

I don't think that this needs to happen. I don't think it's that hard to realize that a heart below a project means "love it".
