Like Button

Am I missing something?
I only see the 'Like' button on a very few threads (such as this one).

I don't even see the 'Like' button on this thread. Is that because I'm new, or has it disappeared already? Was the experiment really that short?

Hello, Pip Pip, and welcome to the cabin. I do not know if the Like is only available to those who have passed the "I'm new here" winning post. Please do stay around to find out!

Thanks S.o.S. I will stick around...

The delayed introduction of the 'Like' button does have an amusing effect where the profiles of longer-standing Pruners are concerned. The first time I saw giants of the forum with >10,000 posts next to their name and zero Likes, I thought to myself 'tough crowd'.

But, truth be told, I liked that there were no Likes. Before I joined up, part of me hoped that the 'Like' button had always been available to members, but that nobody had ever felt the need to overtly express their approval in this manner. Simpler times...

I'm not seeing the like button on many threads - but no doubt the march of progress will see to that

It is true, Pip Pip, that as soon as we saw your registration - we knew your posts were going to be liked. You will also find a level of 'joshing' in here - but always polite. Non polite gets you turfed out onto the wing.
