Just finished with improving upon the current YWS like system. The first thing you'll notice is that the "Like this on YWS link" has been replaced with a fancy looking star button. You may also notice that the Facebook like button has been removed; I did this as no one used it and so it kind of just got in the way.

Secondly, you can now see who has liked a topic. This should make many people quite happy. :D

Thirdly, you can now like individual posts as well as see who has liked a post. Have fun with it!

By the way, the third part also means you can like reviews now. For now, the likes are just that: likes. However, depending on how things go, we may extend it such that the more likes a review gets, the more points the reviewer gets. We may also use those likes to determine things such as "Most helpful review" and to make a better leaderboard system. However, for now, I just want to see how people end up using it.

Like! Lick! Like! Can we change it to lick? Or is that too creepy? o.O

I approve, either way.

SO much of awesome!

But for me, the one at the top doesn't coincide with the one at the bottom.
The top says 14 (since I clicked it.) but the bottom one still says 13.
(Or maybe it's the unlucky nu,ber. :o)

Fabuloso! Do we get notified if someone likes a comment of ours? (If someone likes this comment I can report back with the answer. ;) )
"Let's eat, Grandma!" as opposed to "Let's eat Grandma!": punctuation saves lives.
