Like icon

When you see a post you can "like" it, and it will obviously work. After that, you can also "unlike" it, if you click on the same button again, and you can tell you are unliking it because when you hover the button the like gets a "deny" symbol.
I suggest to extend the deny symbol to the non-hover status (if, of course, you already liked the message), because I shouldn't need to hover the button to figure out whether I liked a post or not, and sometimes doing things quickly I found myself unliking stuff by accident.
What do you guys think?

I agree. This way, can quickly see if already liked a post, without hovering over the button.
I always forget which posts hit it on, and have had times of "un-liking" a post...LOL

Maybe just change the text to Unlike if you had previously liked the post?

The hover icon should change to a Thumbs Up with a red Negative sign, too.

That would work, too. :)

It already does that now, when hover. However, this idea is so don't have to hover, to know if already liked the post.

Ahh, I misunderstood the intention of hovering. I get it now.

Unlike? Shouldn't it be dislike?

+1 from me! A simple and effective solution.

Technically there is no dislike ... as in thumbs down ..  unlike implys to remove a like you erroneously gave.  Anyway its been tracked so we will see what we get !
