But my wife can't understand why you'd use silly pictures in a post.

I think it's to enhance or clarify the meaning of a post. Sometimes its hard to get a feel for the context of someones written words through text alone. Adding a laughing smiley can indicate that a post is supposed to be funny or lighthearted for example.

Some of the new animated emoticons are bigger than we had before. Should I find smaller ones or are the larger okay?

I have a few more I will add when I get to it. I forgot I had them on another forum I run and can transfer them over ... one of these days.

Thanks for the encouragement of the "Post Love" it is called. I considered changing it to a thumbs up icon like many are used to, but figured the heart was good enough to try it out. I can change it, but that might take a few minutes effort.

if and when it's no problem, and according to others' thoughts, smaller is better.
i really like the heart, it's much nicer than the thumbs-up, esp for this forum, but, i wince at over-use of the word, "love." so, even if that's the designated word, i think of it as an alternative "like" option.

my father, and elders, were adament about reserving the word, "love," for special and sacred uses.
others may not have that internal tape.

I prefer them bigger, myself.

With the old quote & thumbs up system, you could see who appreciated it. I kinda liked that. But I like the heart system better. I just wish you could see who "hearted" it. No big deal, I just found it interesting.

if you changed your device, names might show.
ex., they do not show on my ipad, but, they do on my hp laptop.
oj kindly alerted me to this, early on.

I like the heart, especially when I want to let a person know their post is appreciated but don't have the time or wi-fi to write something.

The dancing and the wave are also good.

Go to User Control Panel, Board Preferences tab, Edit notification options. Check the box in the Notifications column for Liked posts (and the Email box, if so desired) and the Notifications counter near the top right of each page will let you know who, when, and which post was liked.

Also when viewing a member's profile, click on "Show list with all like actions" to see which posts that person has liked, and who has liked their posts. Looks like t1 is up to 6 pages already.

She is vying for top poster of the new forum and will run for re-election come the new year on a less conservative platform.
