Help please, how do you include the yellow thumbs-up (like) icon in a post to the forum.....?

Click the thumbs up


Click the one you want to use
Edit: Desktop pc might be slightly different

 

[Dusty]

No go Chicken lights. I'm at a complete loss here trying to find the list of icons you show in your post.

Perhaps it's something you can't do from a PC.?

Feel like I'm chasing my tail. Might be an Admin issue, who knows.

Possibly an admin issue?

If I switch to my PC (laptop) all I had to do was move the mouse over the thumbs up icon. The selections popped up then I could click on the one I chose

That’s a screen shot of my laptop once I logged in to this site

Hopefully you can get this resolved

What browser are you using? And what version? Try another browser maybe chrome. I suspect you might be using internet explorer? it has lots of problems.

I'm using IE with no such problem.

Hello John, I'm running Internet Explorer with Google. Our eldest son in Regina thought he had my issues resolved, apparently NOT.
I also have issues trying to connect with AliExpress so I shall wait until everything settles down then get my PC into hospital and have the problem corrected.

Presently I'm in recovery from a third knee replacement in the past 16 months and no I'm not a centipede, 3 knee replacements in the same knee. This last one is only temporary so I'll be back under the knife in 10 to 12 weeks for a 4th. Much depends on the Covid-19 virus and operating room availability in Regina. For whatever reason my old bones keeps on getting infections which in turn destroys what the surgeon's fix. Presently I'm on some fairly powerful antibiotics through a PICC in my arm running over to my heart.

Old soldiers never give up until the bitter end. Bill

Bill - download the google made chrome browser and try that. Hope your knee gets better. -J

Wow Bill. Well I hope you can stay healthy especially through this crazy period.

Just to clarify, are you seeing the stuff in the lower right of each post at all? Or you can see them but you cant make the fly-outs appear by hovering over the thumb?

 

[Dusty]

Hello PeteT, unfortunately no I see no reference to a slate of icons so I'm not going to sweat it until I can have it looked at much later.

For John, believe our son played around with Google Chrome although I'm unsure of that.

Can't wait to get back into my shop. Bill

did anyone suggest right click?

 

[Dusty]

Tried right click, left klick, scratch your rear click, and gros Marteau click. LOL

 

[YYCHM]

Do you have popups blocked in your browser settings?

 

[Bofobo]

Are you using an older windows? I have an old pc running xp I might dig up to test if you run that system as well

 

[Dusty]

This is a test to see if I have my problem fixed.

Apparently NOT only half fixed, although I now have the "Smiles" icons there's no sign of the yellow thumbs-up Like icon.

No wonder I'm loosing my hair. LOL Bill

All right who's the wise guy, don't everyone jump up at once. Did I miss something here why do I feel like I've been had.....!!

Are you guys telling me the "Yellow Thumbs -up is applied after the post by a reader?

Would someone kindly explain the process to this old codger before it's too late.

Smart buggers on this forum. Bill

yes, I believe that is how it works. Other readers can give your post a yellow thumbs up. Like I just did for your post above (#16 in this thread). If you click on the thumbs up symbol (it has a “3“ right beside it as of now), you can actually see who the readers were that gave you the likes (yellow thumbs up): it was “yyc”, “tomo” and “Robin Hood”
