Major Overhaul of the Likes System and an OOPS
Lose the likes, we don't need them.sisyphus wrote: ↑Tue Jan 30, 2024 1:36 pm the only way to get back likes is to restore from a Dec 29 backup and then pray that the unsupported third party add on that does the Likes isn't broken by some future version of our forum software. It was a rickety setup that we were lucky it worked for as long as it did. Adding it back in throws database errors and shuts PSF down. I have gone through the database tables by hand and removed every entry of the Likes system, and yet it still does this.
So you guys decide, we're fine without Likes just like pipe forums were 10 years ago, or we lose January 2024 forever and get Likes back, at least for a while.

I'm fine with no likes. I've adjusted.

TRUMP 2024!
Combing through the archives, as I tend to do, I have to admit, I enjoy not being distracted by the likes. The conversation just flows like leaves on a trout brook.
It is much nicer to just read people talk and not care what other people thought about it.
Just talk. That is what we are here for.

I agree with everything you said. But I also appreciate a like/reaction system. Theres not much to say that hasn’t already been said.Citizen B wrote: ↑Mon Feb 05, 2024 8:49 pm Combing through the archives, as I tend to do, I have to admit, I enjoy not being distracted by the likes.
