[serious] Off Topic Moderation Input - Part 2

[MichaeltheGreat]

If a moderator has a spine, they might actually moderate something!

Or just engage in arbitrary exercise of power.

I mean, I'm usually tempted, but Ming looks like he's having so much fun...

Banning kid was always fun.

How do I "like" a poast?
I can not see any button or anything that allows to "like" a poast.

If anybody can tell me I will "like" your poast.

Um, clicking on Like should do it...

[Gertrude]

I can see the "Like button" and I can click it. I just liked your post.

There is no like button on any post when egbert logs in.

This must be something peculiar to egbert.

[-Jrabbit]

Hm, well, Egbert is "Special"...
Maybe there's something in Preferences/Profile/User Settings?

[Egbert]

I checked User Settings but no luck there. Maybe the software hates me, It is not important so nothing to worry about. It just seemed odd.

[Ming]

Yep... it is odd, and I have no answer for you except the software is old and sucks

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

-Also, I am old and suck.

[Egbert]

It gets stranger. I can now see a "like" button on my screen whereas there was no like button all the previous times I logged in.
I have changed nothing.
The only thing that has happened is that Gertrude logged in using my computer and see a like button.
Maybe that was it?
I dunno. I have liked your poasts.

PS Gertrude is my niece, you all know I would never ever have a double log in.

[Egbert]

I am unable to like my own poasts, which is really unfortunate.
I think I will learn to live with being unable to like my own poasts.

It was a usergroup permissions problem - there's no mention of 'likes' anywhere in the admin panel, and 'use reputation' was set to No for Full Members in OT. That took a while to track down, and I doubted I'd gotten it...

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

Also? Turns out upgrades to this version of vB are free. Just asked Solver how to proceed.

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

-Solver says he'll burn off a slow afternoon on the vB updates soon...

No like, Braindead?

[Egbert]

I have just lavished "Likes" on three of your poasts, and an AAHZ poast too.
