    Hi,

    'Likes' are part of our Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) feature called vBSEO. However, it's a feature that has been disabled since installation, hence why nobody has ever received a 'like'. Similar to vBulletin's reputation system, it exists on the site, but there's no possible way for either of them to be used. There are areas of the site where you can access the pages for those features, which would have information displayed if used. However, as the pictures highlight, they're just blank/defunct due to the features being disabled.

    There have been discussions/recommendations previously about whether such features could be enabled. As of yet, we've never done so, due to concerns that it would evolve into a popularity contest. And because actually taking the time to type out a 'thank you' to useful posts seems more personal and appreciative than pressing a +1 button. :slight_smile:

    Martin.
