I wonder if the dislike button was still active and nullified one-for-one the Likes how many Likes the OP would still have. Suspect JT would use up his daily quota of dislikes pretty quickly.

only one way to find out, bring back the feature please!

There should be 1 objective person who's only job it is to dislike posts all day. This is the only way.

Does anyone know if it is possible to "hit" the 'Like This' button, and then about two, ten minutes, or 1/2 hour later, if you cannot make up your mind, then recall the decision and withdraw the 'Like'? Or is this not part of the software as currently configured.

Click the like button again on the post, will remove it.

I don't know if there is a time limit as with editing your post, but you can dislike any given likes. However the like keeps accounted for in the posters total of likes.

It's been a fascinating thread - from JT & JB's tinfoil hat conspiracy theories about the 'like' system being bilked, to the point of suggesting that TB has 2 (a couple - I'm paraphrasing) 'followers' who 'like' all of his posts and 'unfairly' inflate his count/ego/whatever.

Interestingly, nobody seems to have noticed that TB has zero likes from this thread. Kinda blows the 'follower' theory out the water. In fact it's the ones most vocal about how the 'like' system doesn't matter, who seem to be massaging one another's egos by liking one another's posts.

I understand what you are saying ... but on this occasion I don't think that theblether was the poster referred to as having a few members who just 'like' his posts ... it was someone one else.

Oh. Right... Really? I've been labouring under the misapprehension that the allegations were aimed at TB. That would explain why there's not much evidence of anyone systematically liking his posts... Since the subject's frothed it's way to the surface though, I've noticed a few others who seem to be involved in a mutual admiration society...

You're not disliking someone, you are un-liking - that is removing your like for whatever reason, mistake or otherwise, and unless they saw it before the removal they wouldn't know the difference. There is nothing in the profiles to list dislikes. Incorrect terminology from the old system being used on the new one. And yes, it does remove a count from the member Likes when you click un-like.

But the record of the application of the Like still appears in my notifications (I should've remembered that; it's happened before).

So I still have a Notification that says "JBrain liked a post of yours...." and the shortcut takes me to the post, but there's no like there.

When I look on my profile, at the Likes Received there is no trace of the removed like. So no-one else need ever know. Unless I make a big thing of it and post about it on the forum.

You're correct about the un-liking and that the count get's removed, tested it just on Streetcowboy, but when one receives a like he get's a notification of it, when he then is unliked the notification still stands. So he is made aware that he received a like as soon as he logs in, but if he check the post concerned there will be no like visible.

Edit : SC beat me to it with his post.
