Title: Likes for the forum posts?
Shmerl 6 Nov 2018
Sometimes I want to add a "+1" / like to a forum post, but it's not available. Is it hard to add? It shouldn't be very different from the article comments.

For what it's worth, I would also like this.
Xpander 6 Nov 2018
I would like to like your suggestion :)

Liam Dawe likes this.

Update: Likes now live for the main topic, working on the replies system.

Update #2: Likes now live for forum replies, no notifications yet, going to hook that up now.

Great, thanks!

Notifications taking longer than planned. Attempted to re-write they way they were done, but turned out to be quite a bit more work than would make sense. Gradually getting to it over today, I also want to hook up a setting to turn off like notifications at the same time.
Liam Dawe 7 Nov 2018
Okay, like notifications for forum topics are live.

There's also a new setting in notification preferences, to mute all like notifications.

Next up: Hook up forum replies likes to the notifications system.

Do let me know if anything broke.

I did a DOH, it currently won't clear your forum topic like notification when clicked. Will hook that up tonight. Edit: This bit is done.

Had to do another thing on the forum today, replies likes notifications still to come.

Like notifications for replies on forum topics are now hooked up.

I'm the clone.

Edit: Jokes as ;), sometimes it's a little therapeutic to have one less thing to do in the code itself. Quite different to testing games and writing about them :)

I still need to hook up reply/quote notifications though, that's been a long time coming too sorry about that. Very hard to do all this plus work an actual content mostly by myself :)

Did you do something special to this thread? I shows me that it's two pages, but the second page is empty:

Isn't this an old bug? Depends on your pagination settings, so maybe an off-by-one error in pagination?

Thought I solved that a long time ago, let me know if you find where it happens and on what per-page settings you're on.

Actually, that's fixed now. A side-effect of some recent changes I outlined here. Just needed to get the reply counter not to count the initial topic post now it's included in the same database table.

Sorry about that.

Just FYI: Forum quote notifications are now finally live.

There was also a bug where the pagination was counting unapproved posts, so you might have seen a blank page sometimes. That was also fixed.
