Michael!

Please, allow to like forum posts again and restore the existing likes, thank you!

A lot of people have said this feature is sorely missing.

Also, posts mentioning you (or anyone else? I've not tested) cannot be made. This results in error 403.

I like and agree with the above post.

I would like it if the forum contributors and readers were also informed whether:

a) an active decision to remove the 'like' functionality has been taken.
b) an active decision to restore the 'like' functionality has been taken, but implementation is turning out to be difficult for some reason
c) difficulties in providing the 'like' functionality in the upgraded software mean an active decision to not pursue restoring it has been taken
d) apathy rules, 'likes' don't generate revenue, so who cares.

Yes, the likes are important!

Are likes coming back? Any issues with them?

Yep still sorting that one out, that one is a bit more tricky.

Still battling it... The "reactions" system is enabled and for all users. Been going through all the theme code to verify it's there. And looking in threads there is indeed "reactions__add-reaction--icon" and other "reactions" tags in the footer of each post. But looks like some CSS/JS isn't exactly hitting right. Still working to sort it out.

I'd give you a 'like' as feedback, and encouragement to keep going, but...

Is the plan to have user-chosen icon 'reactions' for postings, together with the usernames reacting, like below?
