That's the only reason I went to desktop mode earlier :D

Why doesn't the Like icon show up on the left side of the post box instead of the far right side? Lousy design....

Lol, pretty funny, my kind of humor :D thanks for the chuckle :D

Oops. Liked it

Technical question:
The "like button" is a Facebook trademark, but there is no FaceBook javascript shown in my Firefox NoScript menu.

Only Pelican Parts, gstatic, and google-analytics javascript is shown.
(PP is set as trusted)

Rt-clicking and then 'inspect elements' on the Like button does not show any internal Facebook dot com links either.


So my question is whether the Pelican Forums are hosted through Facebook servers or software?
(Somehow these likes must be returning to home base.)

doubt it. ^^^

Hi John - it's just a vbulletin plugin that isn't tracked / tied / associated to Facebook in any way.

But I associate it with Facebook. Just as lame here as it is there....but I don't go there :D

Thx, Good to know. I don't use FB personally but it works for other people.

At my previous dentist I was a bit surprised to discover x-rays were not available because they were stored on an Amazon server, which was down that day.
The world is changing so much.

We see it as a positive, esp for the individuals in the Classified section in my opinion.

Imagine that you're selling a part and someone 'likes' the post - chances are they may have an interest in purchasing; allowing you to reach out to them directly and get a deal done.

Just an idea.

Is there a way to like the star ratings for threads?

Good to know that they weren't lost!

Why not send a PM or a reply in the for sale thread to let the seller know you are genuinely interested?

Hitting the like button and expecting to be contacted by the seller seems like a lazy and impolite way to shop for an item.

That would not work for me as a seller.

YMMV

I suppose it could happen that way...in theory :D

Once you "like" a post....can ya change your mind once you realize it wasn't worthy of juvenile validation?

Somebody please give me some starz ;)

I think Leakyseals is a big ol' poopiehead....is there anyone else like me :D?

I'm starting to like the possibilities now...LOL!

In my day, we only had stars- and we liked it.

Anyone know where to buy a keyboard that has a 'thumb-up' key?

I just noticed the Like button has vanished.

Now if we could only get rid of the silly star ratings.

KFC911 01-15-2020 09:40 AM

LOL....I'd "like" to give Glen 5 starz now :D
