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. Â

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!

Mine doesn't do that...I'm always happy to give you more Influence Abraxus, but I just clicked your "+51" and it took me to your page and it still says +51. Refreshed the browser, and it still says +51  (I gave you a like on the other thread you commented on, so know you have 52) "The opposite of a fact is falsehood, but the opposite of one profound truth may very well be another profound truth." - Niels Bohr  Global Handle: @JusticeBeliever ...

justicebeliever Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Sorry I wasn't clear in my prior response...any of the like options work...it does not have to be the trophy (just tested it, see below). And if you are really in doubt, you guys can test it on me!!  🙂  8 minutes ago, justicebeliever said: Says +10 for you right now @Some Random User.   I just clicked the Like "Heart" button...  And now you have 11  1 "The opposite of a fact is falsehood, but the opposite of one profound truth may very well be another profound truth." - Niels Bohr  Global Handle: @JusticeBeliever ...

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. Â
