Thread: Making the like function public

Hello ladies,

Over the next few days the current like function will be made public in that it will be possible to see who has liked a post.

Since it's creation I've noticed that the atmosphere on the forum has changed for the worse. It was intended to be a positive addition so that people could give appreciation for good and helpful posts. We didn't add a dislike button for that very reason.

However, there have been a number of critical, personal and generally negative posts that have been receiving likes which, when anonymous, has the very same effect as a dislike button and that's something we had hoped to avoid.

To be clear - there is no issue with the posts themselves, nor with liking them but we feel people might be more inclined to hide behind anonymity rather than being straight about what they think which is, and always was, at the very heart of this forum.

So, while we won't be making it accessible retroactively, for obvious reasons, it will soon be the case that any post you like in the future will have your username underneath.

If you notice any bugs or have any questions between now and then, please let us know here.

Great idea. I too always wonder who's liked posts! *Is nosy*

good idea - except I'm so blind I never really notice when a post has been liked - maybe I will now!!! And maybe I will actually remember to use the like button!!
