Just noticed today that a likes/dislikes flag is appearing under posters details on the LHS of the post

But I can't see a button that allows us to Like/Dislike

Coming shortly?

How did you do that? I can't see a LIKE button - I'm on a PC using W10

I just typed it out as a tongue-in-cheek comment.

You won't get many likes there... they need to keep both hands on collective and cyclic so nothing left to hit a like button with!

Also turned on for Dunnunda forums, but with the ‘Like’ button only featured on the first post of a Thread. One of the various options available, it will tax the Ozmates to come to terms with such a concept so where better to trial it 🤔 😂

Any reasoning on why a 'like' button was added? I always liked how this forum seemed to be one of the last which hadn't bought into the 'like/dislike/laugh/whatever' reactions so prominent on social media. I think the words expressed on a post speak for themselves without needing to add a 'like' function, even though there's been plenty of posts I've wanted to 'like' (and far more even I've really, really wanted to 'dislike'!) over the years.

We now seem to have a "Like" feature, where is the Like button?

The "list of people who liked this post" list (when there is at least one "like") is too visible. It should be shown only on request (i.e. by clicking on a link to see the list of names) - not by default. The default should be no more than showing the number of "likes" that a post received
Otherwise, you end up with the "list of people who liked this message" becoming visually almost as important as the message itself

If you read the thread you'd see we've been told its being trialled on rotorheads and then maybe on the Men Down Under

If those two groups can manage it anyone can

Ironically, if there was ever a post I was going to "like" ... then this would be it

Well, if you just follow the likes, then you don’t have to think for yourself. Seems like an easy solution…

Then again, it is probably going to be anonymous, so you don’t know who is simply nursing a grudge.

“My way or the highway.”

How about individual flags we could post, stating things like:
“I’m with Dre all the way”

or “Krystal and Chips Forever!”

”SASless leaves me speechless!”

I’d stop reading this forum very quickly if it devolved into that.

Seemingly an abject failure, Dunnunda forums have been put back to the regular post ‘Like’.

Approaches have been made by us and other Boards in the IB sphere to have the cumbersome listing changed to a simple number of Likes: time will tell. Also the listing is SUPPOSED to only show the first few names followed by a number, this is obviously not working and has been reported to IB.

Will there be anyway to suppress the list of members who have liked a post ? I saw a post on the SLF forum and the list of likes under a post was longer than the post itself.

I have explained this problem, only two posts before yours.

As an update, we have advised Internet Brands that their version of a ‘Like’ button is not fit for purpose so the future use is in doubt. It was designed from the ground up without reference to reality nor to the Moderating team; we have asked at a minimum for the listing of those who have liked a post PLUS the date liked to be changed or removed altogether and replaced with a simple number of likes.

In the meantime it will remain for just those forums currently trialling it, with the unfortunate possibility that it may be removed altogether unless IB Tech can change the presentation.

Heh. I can see that those posting using multiple call-signs will be the most liked of all..;)

There are a few explanatory posts following that quoted one, and the issue is one of waiting on IB Tech for a response. Their version of a Like button is somewhat at odds with what we expect, and until that is resolved there seems little point in rolling out the function to all forums (except JetBlast).

If there is a majority of PPRuNers who are happy with the IB Like button, we can certainly turn it on 👍

Has the 'Like' function been added as I see a number of members with likes for their posts but Im not able to like a post.

The like function is not enabled for all Forums. Can you see the "Like" button in any threads in the Military Forum (https://www.pprune.org/military-aviation-57/)? If so, then you are good to go, else you may have to increase your post count to do so.

Excellent, thanks. I couldn't see anything in the Military area so I guess that is the answer. I will have to stop being a lurker!

Why are Likes available on SOME Forums and Threads but NOT on others ?

Is there a logical reason for this ?

We have a department policy to not allow Likes on off-topic sections, such as JetBlast

Technically yes. I think it's like 20 or something. Almost no one ever hits the daily limit

There is a setting in 'Edit Options':Likes Notifications:

Enable Likes Notifications
Disable Likes Notifications

That will hide the Likers names below your post.

I hit the 'Like' limit yesterday, Liking a bunch of posts in Jet Blast on the subject of Likes.
Since then, the Like button has disappeared for me in all the forums which allow likes.
How long will I be in Like time out?

No.
I'm not a pilot either, so for the most part I refrain from posting on pprune.
The 'Like' button is an alternative to replying, just to say thanks for posting.
I've learned a lot, reading this forum.
Pilots posting on pprune aren't much different from the QA folks posting on cmmguys or fishermen posting on bdoutdoors.
