Default New Feature - LIKE

As Rosie and others have already spotted this, let me just give you a bit more info on this.

You can now "LIKE" a post. This is especially useful in large and very large threads. As pages fill up, it's increasingly harder to sift through long posts. You can get a very quick overview by looking at the LIKES tree at the top of the thread. Typically posts that are of importance will be more likely to be liked by other members. You can then glance the posts and be pretty much "filled in" on what's going on in a particular thread.

It is also good to know that others like what you posted, which may stimulate you to post more of good content.

This also maximizes the impact of important content in a thread.

Hope you guys like it ;-)

Someone said the saw it on their desktop but not on their laptop. Not sure what is goin gon with that.

Anyway, it's two hyperlinks, just below the text of each post on the right hand side. It's above the Quote buttons but also above the signature, so large signatures cause it to be higer than smaller, or no signature.

Looks like it only works on the fixed style. At the bottom left make sure you have 'fixed' selected.

I don't see them either, but I do see the 'like' tree at the top of the thread... Maybe it just doesn't like my laptop or doesn't like Firefox.

Cool, it does work! But the only problem is that when I put OB in the fixed style then it's too big for my small laptop screen..... Think that there will be any way to get it to work with the other style? For me, the annoyance of having to scroll left-right to see the entire page outweighs the coolness of the new feature.
