Liking stuff by accident

Why is the like button now a huge bar on every post?

Okay. So the website lets you like stuff you don't really like but I am having troubling liking screens that I actually like. What is going on here. Like..where do I click?

"hey, they aren't using the like feature that much... maybe they don't know about it. I know! I'll make it huge! bigger than the post itself! also I think we need a separate forum for apple ios and android since more subforums is better for organization! also let's cut the number of posts per page to 3. more clicks means more ad dollars and more pages make thread starters feel better." - mr basil

@ExpiredMilk: Oh thanks, that's somewhat better. Should be there by default, but yes, it's better than nothing.

These changes are so annoying, none of them are any good, I was perfectly happy with what he had before.

If you hover over the giant "Like" bar, there will be a little clock in basil time next to the report feature. If you hover over it it shows the time and date the post was made. Horrible and unconvenient method, but it's there.

Apparently we haven't been thumbing things up enough.

Already I have accidentally liked a post. Might as well like everything else.

Ikr.
They should make the report button bigger instead.

Arg, it's so IN YOUR FACE. Really distracting sometimes. I want to read the post before deciding whether to thump it up or not.

Because Mr Basil wants us to agree that everything is a good post and make sure we see where to thumb them up.
