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


Recommended Posts

I find myself on the long posts having to scroll down to find how many people have liked a post before reading it. This is especially the case when I'm in a TL;DR mood.

So therefore, I found it better to be on top right to gather a rough guide to the quality of the post.

Change the Report button to an icon, like a previous poster mentioned.

Remove the "Top" link, everybody has a home button, which takes you to the top.

Put the Like button at the bottom right.

My thoughts :)

There's a difference between attempting to improve something and "attempting to fix what isn't broken" :) Usually, things aren't broken when companies improve their products; however, they know that the improvements will benefit their users. I'm not going to comment on whether I believe this is an improvement or not (frankly, this change doesn't bother me), but I thought I'd point that out because it's silly when people say "don't fix what isn't broken" in response to companies attempting to improve their offerings.

Well, I'm glad what I said amused you. Perhaps I should have said "change for the sake of change"?

It's like someone woke up one morning and said, "No, the hell with that, I want this over here now." I know I can get into my habits, but I'll welcome change easily if the ends justify the means. For the most part, changes made here on Neowin are always thought out and well done. That's why I'm rather annoyed by this. It makes for more of a messy look, it feels like I'm liking someone's signature instead of their post, and half the time I find myself overlooking it simply because it's in the signature area. :pinch:

It looks worse in my opinion. Also if the browser window isn't large enough, and a good number of people like a post, the names collide with the post management buttons (Report being on the left). Should be more noticeable to staffers given the additional links besides Report, Top, (Multi)Quote.

I just realized it is on the bottom, I thought it totally vanished at first.

It looks out of place now, I liked how it was close to the scrollbar for a quick like here and there.

Side question, why is there always a like button and not a dislike button. Are people afraid of opinions?

I thought I'd get used to it, but I actually dislike it more today than yesterday. I think the problem is that it's on the left side now. On longer posts, this can make it seem like an embedded image and it feels unnatural.

I feel like I'm nitpicking though. If I really dislike it, I'll just block it ... like I did with the member badge. :p

So, disable sigs, therefore no sig links to click

This doesn't actually work. I have signatures disabled but can still see the Like button.

Like everyone else here I'd prefer not to have it sitting where it is. It would also look better if it looked like the Quote/Multiquote buttons and didn't have that awful gradient.

We need to establish a voting system for these kinds of changes. Democracy, baby! :rofl:

Hell yeah!

Can't believe it's still where it is...

yup. It needs to be back on the top to look right. I also want the ability to delete your own post just in case you were to double post or someone above you said the same thing. What about a dislike button too?

Yeah I would say move it back as well -- looking to see if I can just use greasemonkey to move it back. If not I am sure can always hide it - but not something want to do, I do like a post now and then ;)

    • Instagram just got "a long-requested feature" by Hamid Ganji Instagram has finally added a new feature that has been "long-requested" and it allows users to write an individual caption for each image or video in a carousel. The feature will start rolling out this week, and it’ll be available to all users. Previously, Instagram only allowed a single caption for all regular posts and carousels. This made it harder for content creators to describe every scene in a carousel and often forced them to write longer captions. However, with this new feature, every slide in a carousel can have its own caption, which can be viewed by swiping left or right. To use the feature, when writing a caption for your post, select “Multiple captions” from the dropdown menu in the caption area. You can then write unique captions for each slide. By swiping through the carousel and selecting individual slides, a dedicated space for writing captions will appear. Instagram says the feature will help audiences get the right context at the right moment. The ability to assign a unique caption to each slide in a carousel could be particularly useful for content creators and brands on the platform. Instagram says the feature will begin rolling out this week. The new feature appears to have been well received by Instagram users, many of whom have been requesting it for a long time. However, users are now asking for additional features, such as the ability to add new slides to a carousel after it has been published. Instagram has been introducing several useful features lately, but users who want access to additional tools and perks can subscribe to the platform’s Instagram Plus offering. Priced at $3.99 per month, Instagram Plus includes exclusive features such as 48-hour Stories, more detailed post analytics, and the ability to tailor posts or Stories to specific audiences. The subscription includes 11 new features in total.

    • Don't worry, the majority of its members still suffer from heavy TDS, so these White House simping posts will continue being few and far between.
    • If you're using a webcam for Zoom calls, then any 720p or 1080p cam will do. If on the other hand you want high quality video for streaming or recording, then consider using a DSLR or mirrorless camera, because 99% of 4k webcams will have a tough time achieving same results.
