Ah. Ok then. Just seemed weird.

nods ... its topic likes vs message likes. Like the first post and it is a topic like at which point it goes on the message index.
I've asked about changing that a couple of times (and I'm the guilty party for that) but no real consensus or direction on that. I think it tends to be somewhat useless as my experience is that most often the board index shows the zero value. Then again the way topics go OT you can get a bunch of likes for things that have nothing to do with the subject.

Yeah I can see why it's an odd case. Given that "most often the board index shows the zero value" I can't see a lot of value in having it shown.

Then with that you make me wonder if it worths keeping such a counter at all, I'd put a checkbox to deactivate it if someone doesn't want it. I don't know, I don't have a strong opinion either, I am just like "meh, that counter thingy..."

You know what? You could code both ways and an option to turn it off, then default as it is now and leave the admin the option to choose.
Personally, but just personally, I'd turn it off entirely, but there may be boards requiring one solution or the other.
