Where can I get help with 16.04?

[arsivci]

Coming back to topic (sort of), this looks like a good case to use snaps or flatpaks. Without resorting to virtualization or keeping an ancient system (16.04 is very old by Linux standards), programs like these could be containerized.

I pretty much "Like" what claydoh wrote. I just read Snowhog's C&P from the vBulletin manual, but I view the "Like" button as showing appreciation for what the poster wrote, as opposed to a system Wheelbarrow sizes to judge nad sizes.

Okay, my bad. I was on my iPhone when I did my test. I just missed seeing the Reputation pips.

[claydoh]

I logged off, opened a different browser, on a profile that has never logged in to KFN, and still saw the bars.

No biggie

[Snowhog]

I think that makes it not visible to other, non-Admin users.

Yup, just tested with my test user.

[claydoh]

Some may prefer to see it. However, it is controllable by the user: User Settings > Account > Reputation Level and uncheck the box.

It still shows the bars, though.
Looks like it will take a modification to remove it.

[Snowhog]

Maybe also get rid of the reputation meter bars under our user names?

I don't care, mostly. I am for it, if a 'like' or a 'Thanks" is for the post or comment, and unrelated to user reputation (keep that crap hidden!), as a form of agreement or acknowledgement that something works, etc, without needing a comment or reply.
I am in a number of forums, one for small gas scooters almost as old as KFN and arguably more active at times, that use likes for this purpose with no issue,. and is quite helpful.

I think the like button is for sooper- ee-733t- forum members, who have given the proper sacrificial offerings and flagellations to the Lord God Torvalds

Not quite. But it (the Like button) is currently restricted to only a few Usergroups. While it's called 'Like', and implies that clicking it means you 'like' the post, it is actually part of the Member Reputation (of the member making the post) feature in vBulletin. Almost any 'member ranking' system in forums that use one, tend to get out of hand. Nature of the Beast.

Allowing more Usergroups access to this will be considered, but only if the majority of Administrators agree; 3 out of 4.

Probably the "Comment" button as well?

@GreyGreek That, too. All will be revealed after a threshold, I hope. I can attach pictures, though:

[arsivci]

Thanks, GreyGeek. Apparently, I'm missing the flag icon, too. :-)

[GreyGeek]

Don't you have a like button to the right of the "Flag" icon? If not, it is probably because you haven't reached a certain number of posts.

Just a quick thank you to the group who have offered comments here! I'll be investigating everything.
