Lack of interest "and one other person like this"

[rellek]

I think this should be changed. If there is a post where we have

User A, User B, User C and one other person like this.

it would be shorter (in most cases) to display

User A, User B, User C and User D like this.

Once User E like that stuff too, I'd make sense to go with the number:

User A, User B, User C and 2 others like this.

Makes sense, since "and one other person" consumes even more space than "and user D". On the other hand, based on importance, does changing this add any value to either the function itself or XF as a product?

Well, I guess it enhances the usability a little bit. It's kinda unhappy that you have to click a link and find that forth name in the layer when you don't even save space for that.

I'm sure this is very unimportant for XenForo as the entire thing, but I guess it doesn't hurt to at least mention this and see what others say, right?

It's fine as is.

That never hurts, thus my question.

Going from three members being displayed, then to four and back to three (with a link) seems inconsistent to me.

The visible member link count should not reduce IMO.

There's also a bit of added code complexity to accomplish this.

To me it's not important to see immediately who liked it, the names could be all hidden.
X member(s) like this.
Clicking on X could reveal all the names.
