Enhanced Like Functionality: Updated Plugin Installed - rdprdp01 - 07-31-2025
Please be advised that we pushed our Alpha Release of the Enhanced Like Plugin to our Forum this morning. We believe the code is stable and consistent with the use case detailed below. Please find a few posts you enjoy and test out the Like Options!
If you encounter any problems, please document them on this Post so all Forum Members can be made aware. If you like what you see but have further suggestions for improvement, we welcome those too.
Enjoy your weekend. David

No. It is a prototype operating outside of the Forum. We would like to get some feedback and buy-in before we implement it. It can always be updated because it is custom code, but we would like to get it "right" to start and then reevaluate things once a year. I would like to have the Forum guide us in the right direction and help minimize the iterations. Thanks, everyone. David

I like it. Get it done.
Very sure the other members will as well....???

I think it's a good concept. My uncertainty is re: what the results look like to the next viewer. Is it a simple tally of all the responses, and how much real estate does that take up on the screen? I'd hate to see the screen get too cluttered because of offering a lot of choices.

All reasonable concerns. Let me gather a little more feedback and we will finish development of the “Like Summary Bar” for the noted Post. Then we will post an Alpha Release. If it flops, we will try again. If it has potential, we will refine. It it right from the start, I will be dumfounded because that has never, ever happened on any development project I have worked on!
RE: Enhanced Like Functionality: Feedback Requested - Cormanus - 08-01-2025
I would prefer (I didn't want to say 'Like') to see all the text in the box containing the 'Like' response in a smaller font size and also to make sure it always appears at the bottom of the cell containing the post so it clashes a little less with the post itself.
RE: Enhanced Like Functionality: Feedback Requested - Lunchbag - 08-01-2025
I really like it. Like the others, I favor solutions that don't take up much real estate on the screen. Having used similar "reaction" functions on other forums, I think this has a good chance of success. I personally favor the ones where you hover over the reactions to see who used them (less text and space are used up on the screen). But regardless, I like (love?) the choice of reactions, they are clear and they basically cover all the options I would want.
