Not getting notified for likes

[fightinfrenchman]

Sometimes when people "like" my posts I don't get notified about it, and only realize it's happened because I see the post again and the like counter has increased.

I would like to be made aware of every single "like" so I know which members of the forums are on my side and which are not.

maybe you are just not getting any likes

And this is why people don't take you serious.

I have noticed this problem as well.

This problem is well known, I reported it to mut, mostly it does not notify any likes but the first one.

I think it's because likes are treated as quotes, and at some earlier point (when you would get notified for likes) you'd get a notification everytime a post was quoted that contained your post (even if you are the first post in a 10 post quote tunnel). When they fixed this the likes stopped working properly.

Which is fine though, I'm not a huge fan of the like system.

I propose that we remove that feature, so that Ear doesn't feel tormented by it.

I also think we should get notified everytime a quote of ours is quoted.

@edeholland what happened when you were working on fixing this? Was too much work?

You think many stupid things so no surprise here.

How is this a problem? It's more like an improvement not to be notified at every single like. I thought it was on purpose only the 1st one gives you a notification

[Ashvin]

It is a problem you're not getting notified for re-quoted quote bc it's not a direct reply to the quote. On likes tho, people like the only post in question so it should be notified, just like it is on Facebook.

Because I want to know when my post gets more than one like

The ideal case is to have a setting that lets you toggle whether you'd like to be notified for every like or just the first one (same with quote tunnels). Obviously, I get so many likes on my posts that I wouldn't want to enable the setting, but I could see how the like-impoverished would want this feature. I suspect it's a lot of work to implement though.

Sounds like a job for a data engineer.

I have too many posts to go back and look at who has liked each one, but I need the know that info so I know who is an ally and who isn't.

I don't actually know what it entails but I bet it involves scary words like Javascript and PHP, which makes it certainly not a job for any of the data engineers that I know.

[Gendarme]

Oh, that's right. I forgot you're a lazy bird who prefers to cook dinner while your tests are running for hours before they fail and you have to re-run them in order to discuss Ear's future in ESOC staff.

I think the "ESOC like" stats should be made public.

As a mod I would be in favor of this as part of my radical transparency agenda.
