Me Too counter

[Nick_2020]

It would be great to have a "Me Too" check box on each topic to vote as having the same problem and a display of the total.
May be also a "Willing to contribute" (time, effort, etc.) check box

You yourself mention 2 interpretations of the "counter", and I can easily think of other uses (such as a simple "I think it's good idea"). In the case of this topic (even forum) the counter explicitly shows the number of members (participating) agree that this should become a default feature (and nothing more). The problem with these kind of topics is that an idea may be introduced but further information is needed and the information may change with time, and that could have an influence on the vote ... except old "votes" usually won't be changed.

Personally ... nice to have but not as a default feature: more an extension thing which is then specifically oriented towards the subject.

...where the meaning could also be "I hate this topic"...
