"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

You know what would be really awesome? A dislike button for the news comments.

That's right and when enough people dislike a post it automatically gets hidden, like with Digg and Reddit.

@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.

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
