I can utilize the 'Like' feature (link? button?) in some forums but not others. For example, I've repeatedly and unsuccessfully tried to 'like' two posts in the Hilton forum yesterday and today. OTOH I just successfully 'liked' a post in the Community forum.

I've tried with Firefox and Edge on my desktop and my cell phone (I still use the desktop version).
I believe this is primarily a problem with threads that contain hotel reviews (i.e. posts that were created specifically from the hotel review posting interface)

Some related threads:

Can't click "like" on some threads

Unable to like ElevatorEnthusiast's hotel reviews

but also since FlyerTalk apparently uses an older/deprecated version of the "Like" feature software component than the other sites that IB manages, it's unlikely this will get fixed

You can force a search for words that are too short/common by enclosing them in quotation marks -- I found the above two threads from the desktop interface by going to the top-level forum page, Search This Forum > Advanced Search, putting "like" (with the quotation marks) in the Keywords box, changing the dropdown from "Search Entire Posts" to "Search Titles Only" and also at the bottom, changing "Show Results as" from "Posts" to "Threads"
