Possible Down Time and a Change This Weekend

[JTH]

I will be working on a forum issue that has been around a while and has caused a big problem with our Facebook integration. Those of you who go to our Facebook page may know what I mean, and it has to be fixed, but it's a tricky one.

The reason it is tricky is that I have to uninstall one of our "plug-in" features that has been very useful here, but it is no longer being supported by the programmers, and it has bugs.

What will change?

The "Like" feature will no longer be working. No more Liking posts. It seemed to be popular so I may have to find some kind of a replacement, but the old reputation feature is still active in the meantime.

The other issue is it may screw up some links, which is really not fun. The "Friendly" URLs will be renamed and some old links to the forum may not work until we find them and change them all.

So, we will likely take the forum down periodically this weekend while we take care of these issues. Your patience is appreciated.

Thanks!

I personally don't like the like feature, so it's no big loss.

Sometimes I like what the person said, but I don't like the person

Other times I don't like what the person said but feel an obligation to like the person

Then there are those times when I don't like what the person said, but I like how they said it

Much of the time I'll like a post, only to acknowledge that I read the post, so they know I'm not ignoring them
