Note: this is intended to be only about ONE DETAIL of the new "Like" feature, not about the feature in general. Please respect that.

I have noticed VERY FEW posts are getting enough "Like" votes to cause them to be popular. I think the trigger is five likes. I am noticing it is very rare for posts to get even three likes.

Therefore I suggest lowering the trigger to THREE likes to trigger labeling a post popular. This still means based on current patterns that very few posts will achieve that distinction. In my view, too few, but lowering to a two vote trigger would be kind of silly.

That's my two cents, or should I say three cents.

If it turns out too many posts are turning popular at the three like level, that could be adjusted up later. Assuming of course the geeks working on the site have the power to change the trigger level.

If not ...

Post in pigeon Thai language removed.

Please understand that Thai Visa is an English Language board and this is the only  language to use on here, except within the Thai language forum, where of course using Thai is allowed.

Logged in users are now able to "like" a post in a topic, Facebook style, with the member name who likes it visible. The system will currently highlight posts with a "POPULAR" icon when they get 5 "likes".

Hope you like it.

This thread is about the Red Leaders' cases. Perhaps you could find a more appropriate, topic-related thread to post the the above news in (and while you're at it, post a link to the article, and use the proper date of its publication as the one you wrote is incorrect).

A review of the pinned thread is in order:

So you took the contents of the post you made an OP with in a thread which was closed and re-posted it here in this thread?

You need to learn that that is not how things work.

So it seems the Red Sniper himself is responsible for both pics being Photoshopped.
