"Like" Button added to posts

Due to popular demand i've added a "Like" button to posts.
Its not meant to be a "Like" button, but actually a a "Thanks For" button, but with some changes it should work
You'll see a thumbs up icon in the top right of each post, clicking this will Like that post, and a list of those who Like the post will appear just below the post header.
Its a work in progress, so if it seems to be missing from certain areas, let me know and i'll fix them up.

I can see people using it more as a 'LIKE' than a 'THANKS'
There should be 'DISLIKE'

thats what i'm saying, the original idea of it was a 'Thanks For' button, but i've changed all the wording so it says Like etc.

That would encourage Negativity..
we wouldn't want that now would we?

Do you get a notification if somebody likes your post?

You can turn on Email or PM notifications in your Control Panel.

In the UCP it's listed as "thanks." Dunno if you can change that, might confuse new members.

I'm assuming this is what's brought in the rating on threads. Any idea how that works? It's not like there's a no vote or anything. I thought maybe views/likes but that doesn't seem like it would work.

no idea how it works. was sort of a side effect of implementing it.

burnt turtle needs to get a life i see.
can the list of people maby be smaller text. or even just say "5 people like this post" instead of a list of names.

it currently shows 10 peoples, then 'and 8 others'
i'll let it play out as it is for now.
as it becomes less of a new thing it should only be used where worthy

i "like" the idea, but its a little strange seeing it at the beginning of each post, as if it were typed out along with it

Yeah at the moment it almost seems as if it's a part of the post.

Not complaining, just pointing things out, giving opinions and feedback.

Is there anyway to jump to your post option added? Like on AFF. You know when you select view your posts...it just brings up the entire thread you posted in, and its hard to find out when your post has been replied to? Just a thought...sorry to off topic, wasnt sure where to post this?

I might try and look at seperating it a bit more so it doesn't look like part of the post.

maybe line between the likes and post, same as the one between post and sig?

Or even inline with the date/time that is with every post? Another place is under it the date/time but the same size text as date/time line.

it sounds like an issue with the script, i'm not seeing it.
does it happen just when you're viewing the thread?

if you go into a thread and click like on 4 comments, as its loading the page to say you have liked the post on the 5th comment, that is the only thing that comes up on a white page

yeah, i'm curious if its actually to do with the person you're liking, rather the having done 5 in a row.
its meant to be related to email notifications.

makes it less like its part of the post.
