XF 2.1 I am confused by suggestion threads/votes

[Mr Lucky]

Looking at the suggestions, I see there is what appears to be a vote counter at the top right. But the sticky post at the top of the thread doesn't mention this, it just says to like the post to vote.

If I click on the vote counter it changes, then click again it changes back.

But if I add a like nothing happens.

So I think it would be good if the sticky at the top of that forum explained how this works.

Are we supposed to like, or vote or both?

(NB: I presume this is 2.2 but there is no 2.2 prefix)

We'll update the documentation soon, but please bear with us, we literally rolled out the new version to the site a few minutes ago.

Of course, great job BTW.

I think there is another problem it needs some explanation on the actual post, maybe the word VOTE above the vote counter.

I guessed that was what it was as I've been reading the HYSs but I don't think it's very clear otherwise. People know what reactions are, but anyone not familiar with the system might not work that out.

(Maybe that should be a suggestion though...)

I was thinking thew same as I found your post

here it is to Vote on

Lack of interest - when voting on a forum I would like to have the wording Vote on top of the ^ and upvote downvote

I think we should have the wording VOTE on top of the selector vote ^ when voting ( this will take away from the users whom do not vote and just like your post. ) also to add the word Vote and have it use the Language file so someone can change the wording to what they want...
