I've added likes, lately i've been reading and not posting this helps to show others that we are here and like what they have been doing. A bit of testing please. If i've broken something else please let me know.

I think i'm the only person that does not use Facebook. As always i'm open to suggestions on features to add.

Not been posting much lately as don't have much cash to spend on the car. But i am still reading.
No, there are a few of us. Facebook just isn't something I need in my life.

Tapatalk works really well for me by the way. I'm not sure why people don't like it. There's no fannying about with image hosting and everything's clear and simple.

It would look more integrated if the likes button was up in line with the quote/thank you buttons

The problem is the server space don't think there is enough to host photos.

What he is saying is that the forum is hosted on a server with limited storage.

To enable everyone to locally host photos would take up a huge amount of space, and therefor cost more. It's just not viable.

Any one else have any thought where the like button should go??

I have storage on my server but don't know how easy it would be to integrate the images here.
