When was the like button added?

Just noticed it. Haven't used it yet but I think I like it. Usually when I like what someone writes I quote it and say yes, or thumb's up or something.

we added it to comments earlier - and just added it to discussions.  Right now when you hit 'like' it will turn green so you can see that you liked it.  We make more modifications moving forward - for now - just like things.    

It isn't working or else it doesn't like me.

I can make it register my "like" but it doesn't turn green and I can't "unlike" once I've clicked it.

turning off a like button is more important than turning it on.  

Can we see who "liked" a post?

If I post and get likes, do I know who liked the post?

I guess that's the same question as hoops's.

@jamie - It doesn't turn green for me, but it does increment the number of likes shown.

Might need to refresh your browser - F5 or super refresh CTRL-F5 (On PC) - I think we'll make it a little stronger - it's a bit subtle now.

I think this is something we should be able to add.

hmm, you need to click on the thumb - are you on mobile or browser?

Oh no. I don't know if i want people to know I liked them.

I just liked what ridski said above (hide your eyes ridski) but it didn't turn green but did show the count go up by one.

IE

it wouldn't work for me 7 hours ago, but just did now...but I had to bash the iPad screen a bit    

I'm very glad we have this tool - thank you!

I just liked both of us, we both turned green, and I never got an indicator to say who did it. So that's nice.

That doesn't help

I'm on my computer (Win 10/Chrome)

I haven't tried any other browsers or my phone yet.

Same here. On a computer at work, using Chrome. Some type of fairly current Windows.

I don't. 

ETA: Um, scratch that. 

Love this. I liked everyone's posts above, using Firefox on Windows 7...turns out you cannot unlike.

Can't unlike under Chrome either.  And I don't see any green and I don't get any kind of notification when my posts or comments are liked, nor is there any indication of WHO liked something.  So, I find this to be a very underwhelming change.

Agree with everything sac said here.

Um, yeah. If you like something by accident, you can remove it.

ok,i guess i've rarely unliked anything - but we'll implement this ability.
