    Thats interesting. I wonder it the liker might appear overnight? I will highlight this thread to admin to see if we can solve the mystery.

    This isn't the first time this has been raised.  I remember asking soon after I joined CT and was told, that's it was just one of CT fobiles, I make no further comment on this point

    There have been posts in the past asking that the LIKE button be removed. I agree with that.  If we like a post - just say so on open forum likewise if we dont like a post say so on open forum.

    This will stop the ambiguity.

    The system seems to have steadied up, maybe it was someone testing it? (Or maybe not...Undecided)

    This has been happening for a very long time, as have other CT forum foibles. What is curious is that the frequency of them seems to wax and wane. I wouldn’t expect any explanation. A) It’s the week-end. B) They never have in the past. C) I don’t think they
    have a clue.

    Write your comments here...I suspect the enquiry might be filed in the usual place --- The Grimstead "Black Hole" never to be heard of again. 

    But there again !!! I could be wrong.

    In my view there is nothing wrong with having a like button if you are in agreement with a comment that has been made. It saves on duplication of posts. What is wrong in my book is that adds to a points total so you sometimes have to question whether the
    action is done for a genuine reason.

    That's true David, so if we had a dislike button we could have a serial disliker. It's a pity points are gained for likes unfortunately it's just an occasional person who makes a mockery of the system.

    Write your comments here...I'm just requoting so as not to tick the like button but now I think about it just posting about liking or posting has the same effect! Oh bother, just forget it, Brue.

    I believe that many "like" a thread to boost their stars, and post inane post for the same reason. Would be better if star points was issued by how many likes your post receives.

    If you scan through the “Latest Activity” list, you will see who the “Likers” are and, occasionally, evidence of “serial liking”. “Likes” are about 40% of activity, so they are not insignificant, but they are pretty harmless.

    I would love someone to explain to me honestly what the big thing is with the 'likes', a few times a year there's a thread about 'likers' & their habits-why the vitriol, why the anger?. No one gains from them & no one loses. I just don't understand itSad

    Don't we need agree and disagree buttons if we have like/dislike ones? After all you can 'like' a post for lots of reasons without necessarily agreeing totally with the content! My belief, like K, is that we don't really need any buttons at all, just words (Or no words)!

    A solution I have proposed on a couple of occasions in the past.

     Would be better if this Whole Star Nonsense was done away with altogether, IMO a childist reward.

    If I start a thread (approximately annually) then I 'like' all the replies as a sort of polite acknowledgement of the time and trouble people have taken to post an answer or comment.

    I don't think the current system harms anyone so I would leave it be. Stars IMO are really an irrelevance.  I believe a dislike button could be decisive so on no account should it be added, the trolls would have a field day

    If I like a comment I click like, didn't realise you got stars for it, personally would have thought the person who gets the like should be the one to benefit but as its only stars if someone wants mine you can have them. I mean the stars mean nothing, you
    could have someone post continually in a thread like two word story or the others to do with film or songs to gain stars if they so wish but actually contribute very little to a discussion. I prefer to see what someone has to say, as many a post I've read
    has confirmed someone might have plenty of brightly coloured stars but it doesn't mean there necessary worth taking much notice of.
