I really like the Like feature but I keep forgetting to use it.
It's too far over on the right - unless you're on a small screen maybe.
When I run my XFs I'll make Like and Reply bigger and centre them via template edits.
The post number could stay over there but bigger.
One reason I like it is that it cuts down on the one word posts or even less like +1
I can see why they are intuitive to do but annoying to follow up email notification just for that .... several times in a row .... several times/ lots of times per day.
Of course I also want to disable that "no more notifications" thing. Then one could go on geting them and visit more when it suits you say every 5 notifications or so.
Am also interested to see how Like can be used at admin level.
But I think unless it's more obvious to use, just a bit more obtrusive, it'll get used in a patchy way so number of Likes won't be very reliable.
