If you take away the reactions Martin & go back to the like button can we at least have a dislike button too?

I could cobble something like that together. But I won't be able to get the old likes numbers accross. So if someone had 2000 likes in the old system, we would start fresh with the reactions.

Reactions allow me to put in different icons and determine the number of icons available. So I could make our own icons or just have 2 or 3 of them.
Likes will only ever have one icon.

If you go back to the old, and add a dislike, some will use it indiscriminately and dislike everything when there are only the two choices. . I conform to the principle if you cant say anything nice, don't say anything at all. The new is probably ok as it allows a range. I am not highly committed either way.

Well, it's close.
I think I put forward a good case for the newer reactions. That got them from 2 to 7, but that wasn't enough to make them win.
So, majority rules, and we will have the likes re-instated in a few moments.
Now, I better get at least 8 hearts for this post. roflmbo

Lol I did even though I had voted for reactions. I think Martin was looking for likes from those "like" voters!

that's what I thought too, but somebody was obviously falling down on the job, and I thought Martin deserved many hearts either way ;)

What's really funny is, while I was looking for 8 hearts (=likes), I know I was also getting 7 dislikes. But that's OK, I won't see those. :D
So, thanks for the 11 likes!! :fan:
The most I got, ever!

But seriously, this extension exhausted the list of possible add-ons and modifications I have had my eye on. @ross and others not too fond of change can rest comfortably, the time of big change is over.
We have figured out the storage issue of pictures.
We have a final web location with encryption and up to date spam protection.
We have a stable, up to date operating system and board software.
All extensions are also up to date (this will need updating, but that will mostly happen in the background).
The server is "purring like a kitten" not being stressed at all.
And most importantly, we have a lively and friendly community that likes to help each other.
From my point of view, we are now past the :smiley-char026: and getting into :chores:
We'll talk about that at our BBQ in a few weeks. Let's seeing what people think about the if and how.
