New "Like" Feature Installed - Poll

[tsptalk]

Thanks for the update. Weird stuff.

OK, This morning I was able to like a post with IE11 on Win7 32 bit. looks like I'm making headway.

I still get a permission error. It may be a firewall thing on my end. I still get logged out before I can finish typing a post.

P.S. Another strange behavior now is when I click on the >> icon to go to the latest post in a thread it goes 1 to 3 pages earlier.

I'll check a few things that may be related to the latter issue. Thanks!

Hmmm, actually, I see it in those two spots using Chrome with my laptop, but not on Safari with my iPhone......................

All features working fine on my iPhone, iPad and Mac. I'm using the current updated versions of Safari.

Well it appears that adding the new like feature has cleared up all the other problems.

it DOES work, even with the old IE, and without Java functioning. It works just fine. I can "like".

Yeah, my work doesn't let java run either. JavaScript still works though and that's what the old one used. People often confuse Java and JavaScript, but those are two different things. Hopefully the new like function is only dependent of JavaScript and not Java.

So clicking on the Like button doesn't work, or does it?

hmm, which two spots?

This one above the posts...
Likes (Given)2094
Likes (Received)3059

and where's the other?

Thanks

I see the number of "likes" in two different spots now. Will it remain that way?

 

[tsptalk]

Internet Explorer Version 8.0.7601.17514
- although my work IE does NOT allow Java to run- but I CAN see the like button.

I' m not sure if Java version has anything to do with it or not.

I was just taking a stab at trying everything I could think of.



The good is- it works for me just fine, on everything at home- AND on the antique system at work.

Work software for me is:

Chrome :Version 41.0.2272.89 m

AND

Internet Explorer Version 8.0.7601.17514
- although my work IE does NOT allow Java to run- but I CAN see the like button.

I tried to like your post from IE11 on Win7 and got this message:

Message from webpage

You don't have permission to click this button

I also noticed I can't see the Likes given/received unless I'm logged in. From Firefox on Linux I can see them whether I'm logged in or not. I just can't get the Like button to do anything there.

I'm sure if this is the answer, but James mentioned making sure you have the latest version of java installed...

Yes on Chrome- Version 42.0.2311.90 m

Yes on Firefox - version 37.0.2

Yes, on Internet Explorer 11.0.18

Note- I updated to Java version 8, update 45 last week. Maybe its a Java thing.

I think it worked, I think it worked, said the little red engine, hunting likes with firefox. Keep after it, Cactus. Magic can happen.

I've installed the new "Like" feature and imported the old Likes into it. The new one is slightly different so let me ask what you like better.

Would you - 1- rather see the like icon/button on the same line as the other icons?

#1 wins. It's on the existing line with the other icons.

Thanks for your help and patience, everyone!

I can see the likes (given/received) just fine. I can also see the Like this post thumbs-up just fine on a line by itself. My problem is I can't like a post. I click on this icon in Firefox and nothing happens.

It could be a Java thing as James talked about at the beginning of the thread. You may need to make sure you have a recent version installed...

I just clicked in like for Cactus' post and it appeared to work. Just testing it out in Chrome, not necessarily liking anything as I do not like like.
