"Like" Button added to posts

Postby EFFalcon » February 3rd, 2011, 10:03 am : Administrator, bentls, Bipolar, BROCKYB8, Dansedgli, LTDHO, LUXO_8, ned, SnyperEB, Sunboost and 19 more users Likes this post

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 :D

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' ;)

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.

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?
