Likes and dislikes

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

On its way: currently being tested, and should be on all except PPRuNe Social forums soon 👍

This should be fun - can't wait to see how some of my favourites fare....

I didn't.
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 🤔 😂

now now......................

are we going to have a weekly League Table?

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.

I think it's been asked for by a few people. Saves Quoting and saying I agree

Likes!

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

I see what you did there.

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

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

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
