"Like" button moved to bottom.... don't "Like" it!


Recommended Posts

I never thought this was a 6 page worth thread.

And i never thought it would reach 6 pages without a response on why they made this stupid, and rather unneeded change. But i guess that's somehow too difficult for them to manage to do.

WTF is the Like button doing where it is right now on the blog? Looks even stupider...

I can live with the new placement of the like button in the threads but that's just stupid

As its been about 2 weeks since this change, can we have a poll to ask the community where they prefer it?

I'm sure many have got used to the change but still prefer it on the top right.

Quick temporary ugly stylish script to put it back how it was (I think... I can't quite remember where it was, I just know I don't like it at the bottom):

Works great -- saved me the time of having to do it ;) I changed it to 8px vs 3 - this seems to be more inline with where the posted type is on the left.

Stylish is better for this sort of thing then greasemonkey anyway! Thank YOU!

edit: BTW same script can be used for fixing it on the blog page - just change to blog vs topic in the url-prefix and then edit the position in the script to your tastes. I added some right on the blog or it was too close to the edge, etc.

Again great script, I would put it on userstyles.org so people can find it ;)

url-prefix

Quick temporary ugly stylish script to put it back how it was (I think... I can't quite remember where it was, I just know I don't like it at the bottom):

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document url-prefix("https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic") {
.post_body { position: relative; }
.ipsLikeBar {
position: absolute;
top: 3px;
right: 0;
}
.ipsLikeBar .ipsList_inline li:first-child {
float: right;
}
}[/CODE]

not working on chrome stylish :-(

Does seem an odd placement for it but you never know until you try and now it has been tried and the community has voiced its opinion, can we have it moved back please? :p

I'd personally prefer it next to the report/quote buttons as it is an 'action' button and does deserve to be over there with the rest of the action buttons.

not working on chrome stylish :-(

For chrome stylish you need to remove the mozilla specific code and just have:


.post_body { position: relative; }
.ipsLikeBar {
position: absolute;
top: 3px;
right: 0;
}
.ipsLikeBar .ipsList_inline li:first-child {
float: right;
}[/CODE]

"Applies to" -> "URLs starting with:" https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic

still not working... I don't even have the stylish enable option when I click the stylish button.... grrr oh well...

    • This looks awesome, I will request access via Steam later this afternoon!
    • Personally, I’ve found that it’s usually worth investing in the infrastructure you don’t want to replace later, especially cabling. Running Cat6A (or better, depending on your needs) during an upgrade is relatively inexpensive compared to having to re-cable a few years down the road. For switches I try to balance current specs with realistic growth. If my budget allows it Ill choose switches with higher uplink speeds which leaves room for expanding later on, but I don’t necessarily overspend on access ports if the endpoints won’t benefit from them anytime soon. One lesson I’ve learned is that planning for scalability pays off. It’s much easier to add devices, VLANs, or higher-bandwidth workloads when your network infrastructure already supports it than to replace hardware later.  What is your budget like?
    • I hate the term, "future-proof." We saw it back in the 90's / 2000's, if not before. You cannot future-proof anything, since there is no definition of how far into the future you plan on prepping for. Best idea is to tell us what you currently have and what its use is at the moment, and we can then offer ideas about some areas that might need an upgrade and other areas that can be left alone.
    • I can agree that it is being used in a small capacity. I worked for a company where their engineers still used XP, and when asked why it was because their sensor software wasn't compatible with newer operating systems and the software was discontinued so they couldn't upgrade the software. Given that the sensors were still in use by companies, they had to continue using XP to support the sensor, otherwise the price to the company would have gone into the millions or billions. Our response was simple: Ok, you can keep the XP machine. But we're removing it from the network. "But then it can't access the Internet or folder shares!" Yup, kinda the point. If someone wants to continue using an unsecure OS they can do, I have no problem with that. But it should be isolated. Simple. I had a fight with a guy in the engineering department for weeks before he finally relented. But we digress.   What do I plan on doing to commemorate the anniversary? Nothing. I have fond memories of the OS, but at the end of the day it's just an OS. If I had some time I might see if I could install it on my Raspberry Pi for a laugh. But my reflex memory with today's OS ideas would probably get me frustrated and I'd uninstall it after 5 mins.
