Re: More than one likes in a thread

In my forums the replies are not less important than the first posts in topics. My members will not understand, why the likes they have given or received on replies are not shown in the boards. It had confused me this much, that I thought, this must be a mistake.
And I don't want to tell my members, that they should always like the first post of a topic, if they like the topic or some replies in it. It's also not nice for those members, wich have written good and important replies.
So I think, I will change the "Hot Topics" back to the number of posts they have got...
And I will change the index in the boards, that the counter of the likes is not displayed at all, if this is possible?
Thanks for the feedback, I believe it will be a source of confusion for most. The logic makes sense but people don't want to have to think about things like that, they just expect the counter to increase.
You will have to edit the template to remove the likes row from the message index, as long as likes are enabled, it will be shown. So in MessageIndex.template find and remove (or comment out)
// Show likes?
if (!empty($modSettings['likes_enabled']))
echo '<br />
', $topic['likes'], ' ', $txt['likes'];
