I like the new "like" button. However, getting PMs with every like or thank did make me feel WAY more popular than I really am, so I will miss that.

Hahaha

I just increased your private message quotas from 200 stored messages to 10,000! Essentially you will have no more private message limits! Except for WuDrWu. I figure it should be about a year before he hits that 10,000 threshold.

If full inboxes were causing the "Array" problem, then that should be a thing of the past.

Oh thank goodness. I think this will be a LOT better. It already looks cleaner with just the "like" option underneath. And only getting notifications and not messages will be soooooo nice. Thanks Kung!

OK I just turned on the built-in Like function. It seems better ... it did NOT generate a freakin' PM when I clicked it ... just a notification. And when I clicked the link in notification it did NOT open a new window! So this is way better and behaving more like the old site did.

We don't get a Thanks button with this version, but it's still far better than all the spam the old plugin was generating.

Play with it and tell me your opinion.

Test post for new Like functionality.

I have disabled the "Thanks/Like" plugin. I am going to experiment with the built in Like button to see if I can get it working the way we want.

Is it possible to change the font color? The yellow on mobile is almost impossible to see.

Okay, I will remove it for now and try that after I get the performance and the Thanks/Like stuff figured out.

Is countdown clock a thing? Cause it's almost go-time. If no, I can start a thread and update it every minute.

Well. It array'd. I'm seconding WstateU about the likes and thanks. I'm sure I'll get used to it eventually, but I've done the same thing.

No, I’m thinking more space between the first white box “Thanks for this post” and the (thumbs-up) icon for “Like this post”; they seem too close together. I’ve given a few ‘thanks’ when I intended to give ‘likes’. There is a learning curve here, but I’m making good progress. I may have failed the test above.

Still haven’t concurred ‘copy and paste’ from my iPad.

Ah, okay! I'll see what I can do!

[WstateU]

So you are thinking extra space between the "Thank for this post" and the white box? And same for the "Like this post" and its box?

Kung Wu, can we get... oops, sorry, I was momentarily distracted. Oh, the "Thank for this post" and "Like this post" options seem cumbersome. I keep wanting to click on the square versus the 'smiley' and the 'thumb'. Maybe a little more separation between them would help or maybe it's just me?

I was wondering the same thing. Let me ask the mod gurus if there is one available for vb5.
