New Feature We’re excited to introduce "Reactions Feature" on both the web and the App (iOS version 7.8.0)! Plurk Coins users get early access to try it out
This new feature offers: A more expressive way to engage! In addition to likes and comments, you can now react to Plurks using emoticons for quicker and more varied responses. Support for custom emoticons—make your interactions more unique.
This feature is turned off by default. To enable it, please go to: Settings → Timeline → Turn on "Reactions Feature", and don't forget to save your changes!
We’ve noticed that the current "Like" button is often used to express a wide range of meanings. To make interactions more flexible and fun, we hope this new feature gives you more freedom to express yourself.
If you’re a Plurk Coins user, we’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback after trying it out. Let’s make Plurk even better!

: Thanks for this new feature. I tagged you on a plurk due to an issue viewing photos shared by friends. I hope you can help resolve it with a patch/update/bug fix please.

: that day that i observed the problem, i updated Plurk on Google Play Store. problem still persists. just now i checked, problem still there. and checked GPS, no new update for Plurk available.
I personally find the Like function more useful as a means of bookmarking than as a means of expression, so I look forward to being able to use emote reactions for an actual expressive function! I hope that Likes will still be there so I don't lose all my effectively bookmarked plurks, though!
(The fact that you can filter by Liked plurks is why it's useful as a bookmark function, to be clear. If Likes were folded into the new reaction system instead, that would cause issues...)
plurk is broken for me this morning. No timeline, just tiny whirly thing forever from my proper computer and no background repeat images from this laptop (whereas big photos do show).
are there any plans to have 'likes' exist alongside the new reaction feature? I think having the legacy like system alongside this new one gives the option of not having to choose an emoticon if 'like' is just fine
The implementation is cute, but potentially a huge increase in screen real estate (see the reactions to this message). Another means of exposing reactions would be nicer, such as through a hover effect on Desktop or a tap on mobile devices.

: I checked GPS again just now and saw an update available: Went on with it & installed it. Opened Plurk, and voila: problem solved. cropped pictures no more. Thank you 💙
oooh, what a neat feature. The only thing I don't like is how much extra screen real estate it takes up, especially on plurks that receive many different reactions (like this one!)
also i don't know if it's something you're working on already, but it would be really helpful to have a quote+reply feature or show a shortened quote of the specific comment you're replying to when you do, like many apps do nowadays
this new "feature" if it's the cause of the destructive new bugs on the previously functional web plurk - and I have no intention of using stupid reactions emoticons anyway.
Can I just say: THANK YOU for letting us opt-IN on this test feature instead of updating the site/app with it set on automatically, so many companies do that these days and I hate it! So thx for that
But they have updated the site's code for it for everyone anyway and it is causing a problem. I didn't opt in to have my normal plurk accessibility (and timeline background pattern) destroyed today.

and people have reported those issues. I'm not having it, and I wanted to shout out something I felt they did right. Companies need to know those things, as much as bugs and issues, man...

: damn, dude, maybe time to step away from the computer for a bit. Things unexpectedly break with updates, it happens. They'll fix it, stop acting like it's the end of the world.
Bugs happen, no matter how careful one may be. Don't assume malice for what is adequately explained by... coding being coding. Rolling out a beta feature is how you're supposed to catch them. If things broke, send a bug report.
If anyone is checking on the android app, the feature toggle isn’t there (yet, I assume). But you can use mobile browser, enable desktop mode, and enable there. If you want to try out the reactions on mobile browser just to see what it’s like.
