We Now Have a Like Button

[Dave Ambrose]

There's been a lot of debate about like buttons with good points on both sides. But, time marches on, and customs evolve so we've enabled a like button for posts. 

This will help those on mobile devices, phones and tablets, to more easily participate. It will also help anyone at a loss for words. (I frequently fall into this category) If it becomes a problem, we'll revisit the question, but for now, the positives seem to outweigh the negatives. 

That said, I urge people not to put too much stock in your number of likes. Keep posting your builds, asking questions, or offering comments. Unlike some other places I can think of, this is generally a kind and supportive community. I'd very much like to keep it that way.

My only suggestion is to make it just one simple "like" button. I'm notorious for touching the wrong spot on my tablet. Glad to have it either way.

The "Like" button is not showing up on my posts.  I logged out and back in, but that didn't help.

It's a heart that when you hover over it a menu of buttons flys out.

If you don't see it, please list what device and operating system you are using.

I get a trophy, a laughing face, a constipated face and a bewildered face as options on my i pad.

Yup - that's it.  On a PC if you hover the mouse pointer over each, it shows you what they mean. not sure how iPad handles that.

Thanks.  I see it on everybody else's posts and the flyout works fine.  But it's still not showing up on my posts.

I'm using a PC running Windows 10.

Its working correctly Mike. You  aren't going to get the option to like or react to your own posts. That wouldn't make sense.

If you get a reaction then you will see one of the symbols. I just added a confused symbol and you should be able to see it on your 9ost.

OK, got it.  Thanks!
