There's no like Icon in the basement for me. Occasionally I see a like though, is that a user/post number/experience function? Maybe keep basement likes separate from upstairs likes.

And you can't easily follow who's been posting down there either.
 
The basement .. a most important room in a house ...BUT , it , like the Poinsettia does need some sunshine ..
As to the "likes" ..I have given that up many years ago ..more or less .
 
I have no idea what you people are talking about. I have never heard of such a thing and if I had heard I would not, at present, be disposed to discuss such a thing.

Moderator's Warning:
Like's are not activated in the basement and that's the general intent. However, there's a bug with the software as it relates to Tapatalk, the mobile app, that allows for "likes" to be given on any post in any part of the forum. Thus while you're occasionally see "likes" in the basement despite it not being activated on the main forum. It's unlikely that the time needed to properly separate out the few likes received in the basement from the overall total would be worth it for the payoff, so its unlikely to occur anytime soon. Hope that answers the question. :)
 
Oh, so its a glitch, thanks that does answer my question, I assumed it might be a user or time being a member thing. As for separating them out I most certainly I'm not familiar with that task or software so that's cool. It was just a suggestion I thought would be nice.

Thanks
 
I believe that if posts in a thread receive likes before the thread is flushed the likes remain.

Z, it explains why some likes show up, but it doesn't explain why you deactivated likes in the basement. For those of us who don't know, would you mind telling us?
Thanks

This was the site owners doing. The Basement is a vile and somewhat sinister place. He didn't see the need to allow people to like those kinds of posts.

There are a dozen posts a day that I want to "like" down there but I see his reasoning behind having them turned off.

Feedback/Suggestions /like
 
absolutely not, it's already mostly a reiterative circle jerk

gold stars and smiley faces would be more fitting for that age group

Ya, if there were likes down there those gangland knife fights would be even more intense.

Good call by who ever runs this place. Where did their "who are we" page get too, I want to know whom I have to thank.
