Use of Like feature resulting in “[ARG:4 UNDEFINED]”
Why would an FTer see [ARG:4 UNDEFINED] in posts after hitting “Like” on FT posts?
Is there some kind of error with the FT board software causing those things to appear on the list of people who liked posts where this has been happening?

I just liked your post, but nothing looks different. Could you please post a screenshot?

This also happened to me today. It's possible it has now been corrected as it didn't happen later when I hit the Like button.

I encountered this as well, although it only happens sometimes.
In some cases I get “You like this” and sometimes I get “[ARG:4 UNDEFINED]”
Sometimes both things happen in the same thread. Here’s an example of a thread: When it rains, AA shuts down. Are the other majors as bad?

And I’m seeing indications of the same technical issue re-occurring again that I reported in the OP for me too.
And yet seconds later, at least sometimes — when going to different threads in my case — the issue seems to not be applicable.

Alright, I'll go on a Liking spree and see if I can trigger the issue

It seems very sporadic -- I noticed it yesterday when someone liked one of my posts and I assumed they just had a clever nerdy username but I just liked a post a few moments ago and mine showed up as:
(Post #60 on Self serving yourself / BYO alcohol while on UA (not allowed) to be specific)
Seems like it may only affect the 2nd like on a post now that I'm noticing it....

For a brief while around the time of my previous post in this thread, there was also an [ARG:6…….] thing being generated by some “Like” use, but it’s been mainly ARG:4
I just saw [ARG:6 UNDEFINED] as the third “Like”-listed user in a mid-August post. I just saw it in the Airport Lounge forum covering the MSP lounges.

Same boat here. Sometimes it’s working as it used to for me; sometimes I’m coming across as ARG:4 and sometimes I’m ARG:6. I don’t know if I was also an ARG:5, but I’ve definitely been an ARG:4 listing in some posts and and ARG:6 for some other posts.

Happening to me too...yesterday and today. And it doesn't show I have liked something as the like button is still available to use.

It's happened to me in the AA forum. On the same thread, when posting Likes on various posts, you can get an ARG:4 followed by a normal display of your like followed by an ARG:6. Quite random, even in the same thread.
