Likes and dislikes

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.

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.

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.

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