I like the 'like' button.

Maybe I've missed it until today and it's been around for a while, but I like the 'like' button.

I've seen it used on other forums but not on Pelican. When was it turned on?

[GH85Carrera]

I first noticed it today. I think it is as useless as the star ratings for threads. I will continue to mostly ignore it. Maybe if someone posts a reply that I expresses my thoughts precisely I may use the like button. I don't think I have star rated more than a handful of threads.

I gave myself 5 starz once....on a thread I started about how stooooopid the starz were.

I don't see any of that crap on mobile tho'....

I just need the affirmation that someone, anyone, liked my post.

Just noticed that you get notified when someone likes your post.

I don't like the 'like' button quite as much any more.

Can we get a thumbs down button?

[KFC911]

I just went to desktop mode....and now see who "likes" a post....but I don't see the "like" button. Oh well...I guess I can't do what must be the stooopidest thing I've ever seen....worse than freakin' starz I tell ya!

Carry on girlz....

Mebbe we need a "rike" button too

The "like" link only shows up when your cursor/pointer is over a particular post. If you've got your mouse positioned so it's not on a post, then you can't see the "like" link.
You can't see where my pointer was in the screen shot below, but it was over your post, not URY914's post.

LOL....so I can't "like" a post on a phone....

LOVE it

I think a middle finger button would be more fun!

I’m not a fan of “like buttons”
I just don’t see the added value. And the annotations at the bottom of every liked post are just plain stupid.
Millenials are taking over.

If you like a post of mine, peachy, but I don’t crave affirmation.

I vote for a likexit of the kissass function.

(Sorry, it’s late and I am finishing my Talisker Distiller’s edition before I go to bed.)

Wayne tried the like function a couple of years ago. IIRC it lasted less than a week.

I'm not a fan of it. I have adblock plus on and it blocks the buttons... but when I hover on a post, I still see the hyperlinked word "Like" on the right of the post. Argh!

I liked your comment because I'm able to read the real meaning of comments and know that it's what you really wanted.

The best will be seeing who likes their own posts!

edit: just tried it....doesn't work

I figured it was a matter of time before someone would like my post.

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

Now quit it!
