I know this is a bit of a hot topic right now but ... the layout doesn't work so well, will probably get worse once things start to pile up in there. See attached screen snap. This is with Safari 5.0.3.

Also of note, when clicking the Like link the javascript that handles it should probably end in a "return false" so we don't get redirected back to the top of the page (due to it trying to load a blank hash link at the end of the url , i.e. "#").

I retract this part of the bug, it already seems to be fixed :)

I agree the layout in the member profile area is awful and needs to be changed.

The other one which I think will be the first thing, is ability to turn off notifications, or someway to modify that part.

Yep that would be welcome :)

The issue with this particular layout is the HTML it is generating, if you look into it you'll see that it seems to have unmatched li tags within that area and is missing either ul or ol around them (which are likely what is causing the increasing indents). The layout issue would probably be the same in chrome and any other webkit based browser. It only seems to be an issue within the new Likes tab from what I can tell, but I didn't dig too heavily into it.

I take that back, they are enclosed by ol, but there are li tags and div tags not properly closed until the very end of all the code (i.e. all the </div> and </li> tags are at the very end. I highlighted the missing parts as well as the parent tags that they belong to in red within the code block for ease of explanation.

Here's the HTML in question from my profile:

Also the Likes Received tab is missing unless you specifically follow a link that goes to that tab. If you just got to the main profile there is no Likes Received tab at all.

Was this a VB addon or something that someone worked up custom? Just curious.

This could really use some attention ... it's to the point where things are getting unreadable ...

This will be fixed hopefully in the next couple of weeks. :)

Just wanted to mention one other thing about the like feature. There's a rumour floating around that I paid lots of money for this feature, and that's why I was holding onto it so tight.

Truth is, this feature was a completely free add-on to the software I already own for a long time called vBSEO. My tech just installed a free security update, and this feature was available in beta to try out. I saw it on several other forums that were trying it out, and well... I liked it. :)

There is an update to it coming out "Soon", which I'm hoping will address some of the bugs and annoyances. If it doesn't come out in the next couple of weeks, I will temporarily disable.

Likes makes the site much more klunky.

+1 works much better :)

-MMF

I like the likes, but the layout of the likes received page is now unreadable. So it would be great to get fixed. :)

Frankly the "likes" thing look to me to be a failed experiment that appears to be forgotten after a very forceful implementation.

Actually it gets used quite a lot. I like it personally (no pun intended!) .. the layout of what it looks like on your profile page leaves a lot to be desired though. Rookie html errors by whoever coded the add on.

Agreed!

You are right about the coding, but if you "like" it, fill your boots. I've never used it, never will and continue to be inconvenienced having to clear that crap out of my notifications box. Lame at best, unless of course it was removed from the notifications area. Now THAT I would like. ;)

I agree, the ability to turn off the notifications would not be unwelcome :)

It doesn't look like the guys who made this feature are adding the ability to turn notifications off any time soon.

We are moving to a new board system in a few months, and it also appears that the "like" data here will be able to be migrated over. I've repeatedly sent emails asking, but I never get a reply.

I might turn this feature off for a bit and when we move to the new system, it has it's own similar feature which is appears to be a hybrid of the "like" and "+1" system.

Another feature gone :( Even with the layout bugs and the lack of ability to turn off the notifications I thought it was pretty useful, but I guess all of our "likes" have gone the way of our reputations in the classifieds, all the photos from our photo galleries, etc. It's kind of annoying to have the community spend time and effort on things and then one day *poof* they are gone, bugs or no bugs.

I know. :-(

If I get an answer that the data is transferable, I'll turn it back on.

I rather liked the likes, except for the way they overran the notifications box.

Will hope the next generation works out better.
