What is happening to our ‘likes’? I am losing mine!!

[Biddy zz 🏳️🌈 1,003]

Hi @Alex Brecher

Any idea what is happening to our ‘likes’? You were looking into why we are sometimes getting a refusal to let us like posts.

But there is more! - as well as people commenting ‘I can’t like your post but I do like it’, I see that 9 people liked my post yesterday, three liked others this morning - but my ‘like total’ is 20 or 30 down on where it was!! I am LOSING my treasured likes! Oh no! And I think @FluffyChix’likes’ total is declining too! (I don’t remember any other person’s totals)

I love using the wee button to acknowledge posts that help me. And I treasure getting likes, seeing the tally rise - because to me they mean I am making contributions someone appreciates. I was stoked when my ‘likes’ were nearly 50 more than my post total. My daily like score has become second in importance to my daily weight score in this journey! So losing them? Well, imagine if you will that the software here is packing my pounds back on and you sorta get the drift of the feeling!!!😁

Any closer to understanding why?

Thanks, boss...

I've found that if I hit "like"...even if the box comes up saying there's a problem...if you refresh the page, the like will show up.

It's recording likes but there's definitely a bug. We are still working on fixing this issue!

Hi Alex

I had four hundred and twenty something likes last week. Have had at least 15-20 since then but my tally now is 416. Someone liked my post above - but my tally showing on the website is still 416 which it was an hour ago. So something isn’t recording!! It is declining!!

Gosh I'm so glad you brought this up. I didn't realize mine were going down as well. But someone pm'd me last night about the same thing asking if I knew anything.

I hope you guys get it fixed. I do really love hitting the like button and am a frequent flyer - er - I mean liker. Cuz you know, it's nice to be nice to the nice!

Ok, off to the ball game! ((hugs))

Two more likes for this post above in the last 1/2 hour - but there I am on 416 still should be around 450 by now...

I am in a stall week. This is all I have to count *rueful grin*

While debugging that please consider restoring the. ability to edit up to 2 hours the "alpha" form had it, the "beta" form does not. My rotten SpellCorrect(see it's doing it again) on my android smartphone transmogrifies meanings or spelling. I am certain other posters think I am stupid or dyslexic. Neither one, but without an editing feature I come up with Phraseology I did not intend. And it really gets mystified when I use British or Australian English terms. I was posting to Taos about something she would understand with her country's zoology, just gave up and let it go through. Trust she read between the linens cause it didn't make sense. With edit-check I'm sure I could correct it. And BiddyNZ,proudgranny, and Fluffy Chix, nobody "likes" me yet and I'm sure they really do.👸😖

I feel silly because this has been a concern of mine also. Glad to see that I am not the only one.

[Biddy zz 🏳️🌈 1,003]

See two posts above @Alex Brecher, and since then with three MORE notifications of likes since this morning, I am down to 413!! They are coming OFF my total! Oh no!

And I guess I'm following no topics(although I am) and nobody "likes" me le but BiddyNZ, Proudgrammy and a hoard of others, but their,liking , no credit for it. A girl's💔 could get broken here!💦

Hi @Alex Brecher - 6 or 7 more likes since I posted - but my total has risen only by the one I gave myself!! But I, for one, seem to have stopped getting the “you can’t like this post’ notice.

@FluffyChix likes total is on the rise - is it only me?? You trying to get rid of me?.😁

[Alex Brecher 10,498]

We will have this issue resolved in a few days at most.

[Ken S. 162]

Well guys and gals..I think you'll be happy to know that as of yesterday around 2PM PDT this issue was resolved. We're still keeping a close eye on it, but we believe that it's 100% fixed.

Except I have lost about 40 likes, and still don’t seem to be gaining?? Is this true of everyone, our likes came off our total instead of adding?

Thanks for your hard work - I am liking liking posts again!

Thanks so much @Ken S. and @Alex Brecher!!! I appreciate your hard work and expense on our behalf!!!
