Nick and Nora Charles. Much love for them. You get an upboat.
I think gifs need to be banned as a reply to comments in a thread. It is lazy and denotes an inability to conversationally engage in a meaningful fashion.
(God I miss Gene Hackman so much.)
did the gif give me away?
I clicked really hard where the like button used to be but nothing happened!!!
It still works, it’s just hidden. Did you click an even or odd number of times?
I clicked hard, so hard that little tears started coming out of my emotionless eyes!
(and it was only one really hard time, so… odd?)
Also, I need to buy a new mouse, because this one has a hole where the left click button used to be. And a new table too, I guess.
Maybe it was but a fever dream but a couple days ago I hit some wrong button and liked a row of posts until it said that “I’m out of likes”. Maybe in the activity menu, not sure.
The Likes are out there. Believe.
Yep, check my profile. Gave a like 4 days ago.
Don’t stop asking questions, never stop believing in yourselves. Like with all your heart and maybe when you wish upon a heart that like will come true.
Are you sure? If you clicked an even number of times, you nulled out your like. Better click at least once more, just to be sure. But then if you only clicked once in the first place, you’re boned! This is a conundrum. Maybe just reply to the post complimenting the poster and explaining what it was that you enjoyed?
Do you realize how difficult it is to reply to someone in Discourse without a functioning left mouse button?
@arrendek, @nesrie, it’s been my experience with the Chrome notifications of replies that if you move to a new tab of Discourse within a certain interval of a notif being displayed, it’ll get displayed again.
Such that, say, Nesrie, you’re reading this mighty fine thread here, and I reply to you calling you a traitor to the glorious cause of eternal socialism on P&R, you’ll get a Chrome popup as well as a Discourse notif in the top right. Then, if, moments later, I realize I should change that to “undying socialism,” you’ll get another notif from Chrome (but not one from Discourse proper) when I save the change. And, if within about 10-15 seconds, you move from the Discourse tab you’re into another (say, you opened to a link to the WWDC thread where we all rightly shit upon Apple as is Good and Proper and ctrl-tab over to it), you’ll get the edit-reply notif from Chrome again.
Thus, three notifications, but only a single reply/edit!
Sorry, that was on my mind for the last 50 posts in this thread.
Also, @CraigM, you are a king among men for the string of highly relevant Devin Townsend gifs. I love you, dude.

And one I’ve been waiting to use this one all day, but wait no longer
For you, @ArmandoPenblade, for you ;)
I really just wanted more Supernatural in this thread. :)
I’m no fan of likes, but I thought I’d share this.
A friend linked to a post of his new Warhammer 40K army project on some forum: http://www.tga.community
That implementation with a leaderboard and likes framed as “winning” days is to me incredibly obnoxious. I do not think Qt3 will morph to that shape if likes come back, but I thought that example of how not to do it might be of interest to others.
That said, I do see how a very hobbyist-oriented forum with a focus on sharing images of painted armies and such can argue for likes and “winning” days as a good mechanic to promote such content, but it is not my cup of tea.
