How can you tell who clicked like on a comment?

If you click on ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then EMAIL, it is the third option down.

It well send you individual emails every time you get a thumbs up.

It’s kind of clunky, but it is the only way to see.

Lmao I remember spamming a few likes on some individuals in the hopes of blowing up their emails. Forgot which accounts I did that with tho

It’s also entertaining viewing which accounts like my comment every time I go after a particular individual

God, that must have been painful on your end. There is a bit of latency on the click.

@NiceSpice - so you have been able to figure out my hidden feelings towards IceyDodo?

Winex I sort of think your feelings aren't well hidden.

PinkSugarDoll - as for the icons, I think thumbs up and down are explanatory.

The icon next to them is used to bookmark a post.

The circle with a line through it lets you ignore an individual post. That one seems kind of pointless to me. But I guess if you are OCD, it will really make sure you don’t see select posts again.

I think the option to ignore individual posts is there if the post is particularly offensive or particularly long (and requires lots of scrolling )

I remember one individual on this site used to copy and paste explicit sex scenes from Harry Potter fanfiction, and put that on Icey threads.

"I remember one individual on this site used to copy and paste explicit sex scenes from Harry Potter fanfiction..."

How the fuck did I miss this?

ok, hold on a minute here NiceSpice. I don’t read fiction. And I have never seen any of the Harry Potter movies. But sex scenes from Harry Potter fan fiction?

Really?

^ mostly sex scenes between Draco&Harry 😁

Damn TheeOSU - I have been typing my replies to IceyDodo with my best poker face.

I think Nice might have been speaking of herself digging at phatty?

Well I am guessing that Harry is Harry Potter.

I have no idea who Draco is, but that sounds like a guys name.

I don’t want to know anything else.

I’m just messing around TheeOSU.

Though I am starting to wonder what kind of databases NiceSpice is building on all of us.

I was happy when Founder put likes as a new feature. PSD I remember you in the past saying you wished this were a feature of the forum. The execution of it, however, is clunky like someone above said. It seems the only way for you to know who liked a post is to check your email. And no other members seem to be able to see who exactly liked a post. Unlike Facebook, Twitter, and most other social media sites that use likes. I guess Founder wanted it that way?

All I know is, if you want likes it seems the best way is to talk shit about Icey. Guaranteed at least five likes lol.

anyone who slams Icey gets an automatic thumbs up from me.

Lol^^

Yes I did want that feature but it would be cool to see the likes easier, you are right.

Hovering over or clicking the thumbs up would be much more convenient.

If you set up the email like I mentioned, you will see the name of the person who liked your post, a link to their profile, and a link to the post.

The link to the post doesn’t always take you to the right post.

Lol what

I don’t think I will do that bc I don’t want all those emails.

Yeah, like I said, it is clunky.

I found it useful when I first started using the forum. It allowed me to tell who agreed with me. But it’s not very useful for ongoing use. That is unless you scripted a solution to automate gathering the data and then deleting the emails.

I never changed any account settings but I do get an email for thumbs up but not for thumbs down. The interesting part is at least half of the thumbs up are from people I don't recognize as regular posters.

You would need to have access to the database behind the forum software to see who gave you thumbs down.

From reading the board for a few months, it's pretty easy to guess who would thumbs down a post. I don't really care to know though.

I am also curious about thumbs down. If you're going to give a thumbs down, you should have the stones to own it.

^ I just gave you a thumbs down. 😁

I think you get an email saying who liked your comment - even if the down voted your comment.

I might be wrong, but it would be good for Founder to confirm.

Cash an, do you have email turned on?

If so, we could do a quick test - I can down vote you.

There is no need to drag Founder into trivial stuff like this that we can figure out on our own.

Yes, I have it turned on.

You can downvote my above post.

Then I will check my email.

Thanks

"I think you get an email saying who liked your comment - even if the down voted your comment."

No, not correct.

^downvoted just now

I don’t think you get notified for downvotes though. That would be entertaining though 😁

I stand corrected. My mistake.

Yeah - email-notification is a little clunky but it does alert you when someone has propped your comment (and who); o/w you would have to be physically looking at the comment to know - perhaps a better way for notification would be a PM that way one does not have to be opening their email (and have the option to disable it like the email).

Additionally, perhaps adding the option of clicking the thumb's-up and seeing the TUSCL names of those that have propped the comment (this would mean taking away the ability to prop one's own comment which IMO shouldn't be there anyway).
