I can see above a post where someone has used the like button on a post. How do I see if a post of mine has had someone click on the like button? When it's my own post , none of that is above the post. I can see where I have clicked the like button on someone else's post.

Thanks Alex or Ken or whoever can answer this!

At the top of the writer's post - adjacent to the time that it was submitted (at the top), there is a little box with a checkmark that says "like it". My only other thought, is that could be an option affiliated with the use of Facebook or Twitter. Hope this helps!

If you click the "like" button for someone they get a reputation point. If you go to your profile you will see on the top right a number. For example, mine says 3 neutral so I haven't received very many "likes". LilMIssDiva and Tiffykins on the other hand, people who often have really good answers and input and post often have many likes and are in the category "reputation points leaders". You can actually see the leader board on the right side of the forums if you scroll down a bit.

Right, I know all of that . Thanks. But I want to know why when I make a post , there is no So and so liked this. In fact, there is nothing there at all. I would like to know who is pushing the like button to make my points go up. It would be nice to know which posts are liked.

I can see it on other people's posts. I can't see anything above my blue box. It's usually right next to where it says posted today and the time. mine is blank.

I liked your original post so it should say "Chicadee likes this" in place of the "like this" button. I can't explain why you cannot see it. I can see when someone like's one of my posts. Sorry I couldn't help you out.

Daisy you won't see a like button on your own posts because you can't "like" your own posts... since it's giving a point for reputation. At least I hope that is what you are asking. Either that you won't see anyone's name there if no one has "liked" your post.

For the record, I always like anything you say... I don't know, maybe I was of some help just now?

Thanks Irene! You're always such a big help. Hope to see you back in chat again soon.
