New Likes System Installed

Here's my take on this matter...

1.) Placing a "likes" received under the "thanked" posts would be nice (now that its being use quite frequently).

2.) Personally, I've always wanted the option of choosing either one or both buttons ("like or thanks") when needed. √

3.) I don't think that most members are even aware of the "like" button because of where its position. If the decision is made to keep this feature _ I would suggest placing it alongside the other buttons below.

4.) If its possible, could the like notification be disabled/enabled? Why? (Reason): I don't want to assume that the notification on my profile is indeed a confirmation from a liked post and not a private message or a friend request. シ

Overall, this is a great idea and marked the beginning of an era.

One option, I understand, is to import all the Thanks from the thanks system into the Likes system. That way Steven's pride could stay intact!

Nah, lets all restart on an even playing field.:vroam:

Seriously, I think the colorful aspect like when a bunch of staff thanks particular posts is an important thing to consider. Likes are all blue where thanks are color coded. A nitwit post thanked by a bunch of spammers looks as good as a rockstar post thanked by the entire staff.

Would there be a way to just combine the numbers in statistics?

Likes/Thanks: xxx
Liked/Thanked: xxx times

They could be sorted separately in the profile page if that is wanted, but combined under the avatar on the left side?


Also do any of the site reading/posting apps (phandroid/tapatalk/forum runner) make it possible to "like"? That's still my biggest negative to this whole thing.

It appears that when a thread has reached triple digit likes that it messes up the rendering on the right side of the screen.

Today the thanks button in Tapatalk has disappeared :thinking: for this forum.
And all thanks in the posts are disappeared too.

Has this something to do with the new Likes system?

In other forums Tapatalk shows the thanks button further.

No, it's an issue that has popped up since the outage this morning, it's been brought up in a separate thread in here.
