Lunchmoney Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 In the bottom right corner of each post is a little button that can be clicked to show you like a post (it has a few other options as well). If you like a post, hit that button 🙂 8 2 3 1 I used to play under the handle @Purple Clown, back on Live. Now I play under @Lunchmoney I'm in the UK and play on Reunion.
TheOtherTed Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) Silly as it sounds, the only thing that keeps me personally from hitting it is that the default icon is a heart. To this old gamer, that means something other than "like." Edited July 29, 2019 by TheOtherTed 4 1
Abraxus Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 While one is at it, if you think the post has some merit beyond just a "reaction", don't be afraid of giving that poster +1 influence/reputation. What was no more, is REBORN!

Shazzie Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Good to know about how the Like/Thanks and Inf system work on these new forums, but I have a fairly unrelated question. Is something displaying incorrectly for me? There are a few posts in this thread (and I've noticed in other threads) where someone added what I'm assuming is an emoji at the end but all I see is a tiny empty rectangle? Examples: The first post, Lunchmoney's: "If you like a post, hit that button 🙂" ...then it happens a few more times with justicebeliever... and finally, PaxArcana: "how you gave +rep. 🙂" Yeah, what the heck is up with that? Is it just something completely going over my head? I just feel like I'm missing something there. Unless other people see something besides empty boxes at the end of the sections I copy/pasted above (within quote marks). Please elucidate.
