Permanently I hope!
It discourages debate in my opinion, as people will just like a post rather than contribute anything worthwhile to the discussion. I do this myself at times, being lazy, rather than actually adding something.

In which case, defeats the whole point of having a forum. It is possible to speak out in support of the previous contribution, without limiting yourself to a word or two.

Sometimes, though, you have nothing to add to the conversation that hasn't been said already, particularly if someone is talking from a position of knowledge, or someone's say, posted some photos and the like button enables you to show a bit of appreciation.
The reason the button did take a short break wasn't lost on me, though.

It likes its holidays, it's taken the like stats with it too...
I assume that this is the end of the "like" feature then, Dan?... it won't be missed...!

Liam has removed it, on the basis that it's seemingly bringing out the worst in quite a few members of this forum.
Whether it's a permanent removal or not remains to be seen.

Yeah, not sure how to remove it from Tapatalk. Doesn't count towards anything on Tapatalk now though.
