Disable "Like"?

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Is there any way to disable the "Like" thing?  It's sooooo annoying.

I think you can disable this feature from group privileges. 

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Would have to disable it in profile on this forum, don't see an option in Look and Layout.

can't please everyone   
and yeah I'm not finding a way to disable it per user base

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Wasn't here earlier today, maybe it will just go away.

[shadav]

nope not likely going away
it's a feature available for 2.1 so it's enabled here as well as mentions

[edit] i think it'd help to move it's placement, personally I don't like where it's located, i think moving it elsewhere would probably help some

I just liked all of Sir Osis's posts in this thread, to annoy him.

Quick CSS fix:

Code Select Expand

.under_message .floatleft {display: none;}
That will hide the likes stuff inside threads.

bwahahahahaha

[Sir Osis of Liver]

That's even more annoying.

Previews are loading normally, did someone fix something?

You can also disable alerts for likes in  Profile > Notifications > Notification Preferences > Posts > When a message of mine is liked > Uncheck "Receive alert" > Save Settings.

Which I just did. Yay!

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Hmm, that's enabled by default, but I'm not getting any alerts for likes.

[Antechinus]

Ok, well that's one less thing to annoy you. Win.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Just appeared.  Apparently there's a considerable delay in posting the alert.

Just had a look, there are 5 likes and only 2 alerts.

[Arantor]

The alert is generated by a background task but it looks like the background task runner is triggered manually by JS calls (not something I'd recommend for a site of this size).

A delay is somewhat by design, though, to avoid overloading the server (liking a post is cheap, working out if an alert should be issued and then issuing it slightly less so)

It's sooooo annoying.

Believe me, it is more annoying to see the insect in your avatar 😝

You must be the only one who doesn't like the like button.

[Antechinus]

I don't like it either. Also, see: https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?msg=4093861

Just out of curiosity, what is so annoying about likes?

[Arantor]

They were invented by Facebook and therefore evil? Also, they were invented after Sir Osis turned 35 and therefore as per the meme, against the natural order of things.

[Doug Heffernan]

Where is that Lol button 

Good to see you here buddy. I think that I read on T.a.z. that you left Smf for good.
