Why a "like" has been removed?

    • Official Post

    I'm still trying to understand this forum. Yesterday I received a "like" from a user, who was thankful for my help. He gave me a "like" for this post: click.

    Today I was watching the thread again, but the "like" disappeared. Why?

  • Probably the user hit the "like" button by accident and later noticed his mistake so hit the button again to remove the like. Or he removed the like by accident. That can happen quite easily esp on a mobile device.

    so long,

    Thanks for the infos Klojum and HiassofT .

    If a "like" has been removed, then it's a bad sign to me, and I'm interested to know the cause. I didn't know it can be removed.

    Collecting a max. amount of "likes" is not my goal. However, getting positive feedback definitely is a goal, and a sign of successful support.

    PS: I did the experiment, and hit the "like" button twice, which removes the "like". Maybe the user did that to like me even more. :)

    The "like" button is partualy misleading, because the thumb is still up after hitting the button for the first time. Actually it should be a "thumb down" button when it results in removing the "like".
