We're happy to roll out an update to our "likes" button. You can now select a dozen different types of emotions in your "likes". You can still do a single click for the good old thumbs up. We realize that we don't want this site to be too much like that big blue social network but the ability to express different emotions is important. If you are getting "likes" notifications, they will now say "reacts to".
As people will notice it works I just tried it in these comments randomly so don't take any notice people
Thanks. You reacted to my comment. But I have no idea which choice you made.
@Ellatynemouth it was the oh no one thought it was appropriate lol
@Ellatynemouth if you hover over the thumbs up icon it will show you who has reacted and their choice.
Ha ha!
Thank you. I just found out ?
Played with it a bit on your comment and hit red growly face and reactions went from 6 to 7. A click on the 7 changed it to a conventional like. A subsequent click on the 7 removed the like changing it back to 6 reactions.
The popup goes partially out of view when the like button is near the bottom of the page. (desktop in Firefox)
Indeed it does, easy to test because your post is at the bottom of my page. Would be better to pop off to the side.
Same here
Yes, we're aware of it and are working on a solution... we might have to make the drop down be two columns or add space at the bottom of the page.
I'm also using Firefox but on a MacBookPro. While the emoji dropdown list sometimes is longer than the remaining screen (depending on how high up or down the post is) I can hop onto that dropdown menu to continue scrolling down to the bottom to get the "meh" emoji. So the length of the list isn't problematic for me. (Except which to choose from so many!)
Thank you for your hard work and attention!
Someone just reacted to one of my comments, but I can't see their choice of reaction.
It doesn't matter so much.
Edit. I've found out how it works ?
My phone hates it and I hate my phone, thus...I hate it by association. I'll like it better when I get a new phone and burn this nokia windows piece of shit.
So would shrug translate to eye roll? Lol...I need that much more on FB than here tho
How many years did everyone on FB wish for a dislike button?
this is really cool admin, but it does require double click. one to bring up the list and one to select whatever, even just a simple like.
Same for me. A single click like would be gooder.
For me it's hover and chose one. Maybe you aren't waiting long enough for the list to drop down?
