Liking A Post
Sometimes when interacting with other members on a forum, you may come across a post that you either enjoy or agree with, but don't necessarily have anything to add to the discussion thread yourself. Instead of posting your own reply in the thread with something like "I agree with you", you can show appreciation to the members post by using the Like system.
When you like another members post, a message will appear at the top of the post showing the amount of likes the post has received. When this message is clicked, a pop up window will display the names of the members that have clicked the like button for that particular post. If you do not see a message noting how many likes a post has received, then that means that the post has not yet been liked by another member of the forum just yet.
Once you have located a post that you would like to show appreciation for, locate the like button found in the top-right hand corner of the post. Once this button is clicked, the liked total for the post will increase by one, and your name will be added to the list of members who have liked that particular post.
Getting notified when someone has liked your posts
With the Like system available, members can show appreciation to posts that have been made on the forum, including the posts that you make yourself. However, if you do not check back on your posts very often, how are you supposed to know if a certain post you made has been liked by another member?
There are a couple of different ways you can be notified when someone has liked a post you have made, either through a notification bubble on the forum itself, or via email. To setup this notification option, click the Profile button found in the top menu bar and then click the button for Edit Profile. Once on the Edit Profile screen, click the Notifications tab listed on the center of the page and you will be taken to a screen to adjust all the different notifications you can receive on the forum. Once here, look for the option when someone likes your content, and to the left of this option you'll find two check boxes. One check box will be for Forum, and the other will be for Email.
When the Forum check box is selected, when someone likes a post that you have made on the forum, you will be notified with a notification bubble above the Profile button in the top menu bar of the forum. Details of the post that was liked will be found in the Notifications tab of your profile page. When the Email check box is selected, you will receive an email letting you know that a post you have made has been liked on the forum. You can check both boxes to receive both notification types, or leave them both unchecked if you do not wish to receive any notifications at all.
Unliking a post
Did you click the like button on another member's post by accident? Don't worry, you can unlike a post by clicking on the like button once more. After you click the button a second time, you will see the Like count of the post decrease by one, and your display name will be removed from the list of members that liked the particular post.
