Just started seeing this button on some posts:
When is it added and how are we supposed to use it?
I like the way the “likes” are implemented as you can see who has responded a post with a like.
I don’t like the “Me too” since you can’t see who added it.
Oh, also, it appears as a overly-size visually obtrusive image even if it hasn’t been clicked.
But almost every time someone adds to a post to say it happens to them, the mods end up moving it to a separate post so we can discuss their issue.
Someone posts that they have a problem with their wayspot not having been accepted despite being completely eligible.
Someone else clicks on “Me Too”.
This is definitely not helpful and that person cannot be helped because no-one knows who they are.
The “Me Too” button either appears on every thread (leading to frustration like that) or only on selected threads (who does the selecting? “AI”?)
Discourse have shared about this button here.
When a member finds an unsolved topic that describes an issue they’re also facing, there’s been no easy way for them to signal that or get updates about solutions to the topic. To address this, we’ve added a Me too button to unsolved topics in support categories, which members can click to indicate that they’re impacted by the reported problem and opt-in to receive a notification about the solution.
Okay so this is meant to be an alternative to “Watching” the post?
@frealafgb did you get notified when I marked that as the solution?
(I mean “Tracking” not “Watching”)
Sounds like it. Maybe there’s also some internal reporting with it too? Someone mentioned:
This seems like a strong way to signal high pain points - and ideal for marking the solution, providing one, or escalating internally for us.
So if there’s an issue where the Wayfarer Map breaks or something and 60 people tap Me Too it prevents duplicates and allows the team to see how severe the situation is?
It sounds like this is a good feature for general software issues but not for a criteria based system where every “me too” issue is most likely going to be a unique problem. But I’m sure discourse can’t seperate those use cases.
Well some issue like bug dont need duplicate post. Simply “me too” is sufficient
For other personal case, Mod might need to split post as usual so that op can have focused attention.
I don’t think it is at all useful in our context. People can simply add 
or in Bugs area up vote .
Most of the questions are very individual with various aspects to them.
So it is not meaningful.
Hey everyone!
The “Me too” button is a relatively new experimental feature that was recently rolled out and enabled by default. It’s why you’ve started seeing it on “unsolved posts” across the forum.
It works similarly to an “Upvote” button, but as @cyndiepooh mentioned, it also automatically sets that member’s notification level for the topic to “Tracking”. It does not bump the topic, nor does it notify the OP or staff when someone clicks it.
Because most of our categories accept “solutions”, this button would automatically pop up across almost the entire forum. As you’ve noticed, it can look a bit visually obtrusive and potentially confusing on threads where a shared “me too” count doesn’t make sense. I have gone ahead and turned this feature off across our forum for the time being.
Thanks for bringing it up and sharing your thoughts!
Hey @TjoeMi! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. The “Upvote” feature was added to Bug Reports & Technical Support for this exact purpose! We can encourage users to upvote the original issue instead of creating duplicate threads
Thank you for doing this.
