Funny that a "liked" showed up under OMNI/PR when I clicked into my notifications. Which has no likes.
How is that possible?
Unfortunately this isn't an airline booking engine, no way to get a deal out of this mistake.

I'm guessing the new like system is gone for good? I actually liked the new feature.

Annoying is the best description I can offer.
As to the recent experiment with adding more space for likes, are people really that needy or requiring validation that they want to see the total collection of likes they received?
If FT insists on having it, perhaps add an option allowing us to opt out. Thanks.
Magic?

I think I might just change my username to: [ARG:4 UNDEFINED]

the ft rules prohibit regular members from posting under multiple ft member accounts, but does that same set of rules prevent people from sharing arg:4 and arg:6 identifiers when "liking" posts? I guess that is sort of "undefined" at this point, but it seems like you have lots of company already. :d

As long as you realize that you are 'ARG' it shouldn't matter. Only my username when I'm logged in and have liked a message shows up that way.

Seems the new "like" system is back?! I'm getting notifications again as of today when someone likes a post of mine.
Thankfully the awful new "post" of who likes an individual post under the actual post isn't back and I hope it doesn't return.

Good riddance to the recent horrendous Like feature updates.

If you go back to a post where you are arg4/6, unlike, then like again it fixes it fwtw.

It is always intriguing how my occasional episodes of undefinition vary from Argument 4 to Argument 6.

No pattern that I can discern, but it does go in cycles. I am solely an Android cell phone user.

I'd be ok with ARG 5 or 5 though.
