I’m not sure what my rate is for this, but I’ve had a recent surge of this popping up when I use the feature. Sometimes I meddle around by liking and unliking and liking again just to see if the displayed outcome changes — and sometimes it does change.

To be the first to Like a post seems to work fine more than when I’m the second third or later to like the post.

I am now more often than not ARG:6 or ARG:4 when liking posts. It's rare when it actually works for me - maybe 10% of the time?

Just for fun, I thought I'd try liking Buster's post:

Does everyone see that, or do people who aren't me see my username?

I never had this problem when it was reported in this thread in 2021: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/tech...ispreloading=1

Now I'm having this problem constantly. I'm more than 50% ARG:6 and the rest ARG:4. I'd say less than 5% of my "likes" are showing my name when I add them.

What broke recently?

[arg:4 undefined]

Whenever I like a post instead of seeing myself as a "liker" I see my name as [ARG:4 UNDEFINED].

This has been happening for a while now

Windows11 and Mac OS (latest) on Chrome and Safari

Same. It stopped for awhile but now it's back. It shows my handle if I am the first like. Then when someone else likes the same post, I've seen my like turn as stated above. And if I am the second like, it shows [arg:4 undefined]. I use Firefox.

Where I would previously anticipate the possibility of my “like”-ing of a post to result in Arg4/Arg6 showing up, I now no longer can “Like” the posts and what kicks back is “an error occurred”.
