The like button is a bit distracting for me, I vote to get rid of it.

IMHO i think that likes prove nothing except for the fact that it shows that person has a random posts that other people liked, it doesnt prove knowledge on deals, CC's, etc...
HT's usually prove knowledge on deals and stars and posts usually prove experince on DDF and therefore more trusted on a variety of  questions that pertain to for example CC's etc...
the only thing that would work is if a specific thread(not individiual) has likes or thumbs up and down, to prove the importance of the thread or how good of a deal it is.
Coming from someone who has 1 Like.  :P
HT's are meaningless.  ;)
"LESS IS MORE" It is the cumulative effect that kills deals!!! How many times do I have to say this?  >:(

Virtually always use tapa. Never see any like button. I'd prefer to keep the +1s going.

Btw, how many people like me?

Dislike the likes, would like to see it gone. Makes the page way too busy, maybe good to introduce for your website on deals, not for forums.

I'm accessing the forums now from my computer for the first time in a while. I can see why it's annoying, though not enough to take it down.

Though I'm gonna guess there might be a future DO with Dan for the person with the most like. So I'll give 100 miles to anyone who likes any post I make.  :P

For all those on Tapatalk there is a like feature on other forums I think it's a plugin thing once it's updated it will be added

I don't like this feature, it's distracting and doesn't give you too much info to be worth it.

I think like any big update it's annoying at first. Can only really test it's usefulness after a month or so when everyone is used to it...

Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Thanks!  ;D
Wow I thought I got my likes completely blocked! Phew it was only backed to 0(from 1  ;D )
Also weird when I press on total likes your like doesn't come up only the original first one...

Now I see that I got the ordinal first reinstated  :)

So I was a nice guy and decided to like someone's post. Now I am left with a big ugly dark black box that says UNLIKE, plus it fills up a whole line telling me "you and one other person liked this".
So now im temped to 'unlike' it, just to get rid of so many words on my screen.
