When I love following a thread, but have nothing truly constructive to say...

[qwertyaardvark]

I'm not sure how flexible the forum software is, but I was wondering if there is a possibility of putting a "I Like" function into posts, something along the lines of the Facebook "Like" function, for those times when I want show support for a personal project but don't have anything constructive to say aside from a few words of amazement/approval (Nice, Looking good, Keep up the good work, etc)? ^^;;

I thought about that some time ago. In fact I knew a forum (like this) where this was implemented. That was a nifty feature.

We could check if there's an add-on for that, it seems quite likely. If not, we'd have to code our own add-on, which will be tricky since none of us really knows much about the forum code and its API ;)

[CaptOblivious]

There is. Its called thank-o-rama, and I've got a copy I'm going to install tomorrow!

Mudkip, KGW is Portland OR's news station.

Are you currently living there?

I also like turtles.

[Mudkip Orange]

Naw, I'm from Houston. But "zombie kid likes turtles" was a hit all over the internet.

 

What Houston might look like:

I've swam with turtles, does that count?

I know you are busy busy, but did you had time to look this up? :)

[CaptOblivious]

It is done.

[disturbman]

Yes! Thanks Don. I also note that postcounts were disabled in the process. This looks like a new dawn for the forum. :)

I personally like and welcome this new feature on the forum. May I ask something to the Admins and Moderators if they don't mind. Why do most users now only have one star beneath their username? Is there a particular reason for this?

 

Thanks

Smart move.

Oops, it's because they should have none! I disabled post counting and post-count-based titles and stars. Or tried to. Thanks for the heads-up.

[EWS60008]

Not a problem mate! I'm pleased to help out .

[Guest ___]

I like post count disabled. It feels a little less cluttered. Are Likes per thread or is it counted over the entire forum for all posts?

[qwertyaardvark]

Yay~~ many thanks Captain for installing the "Like" feature ^_^

[CaptOblivious]

The like count for each member on the left is the total number of likes received across all posts—the number increments every time someone hits the red star on one of your posts.

From my view I still see stars, just on moderators/admins/"tetsudo staff"
