The "LIKE" button was added years ago because we used to have a lot more people posting their songs in the forum's "SONGS PLAYED BY FORUM MEMBERS."
Too many members were listening to the songs and then leaving a message to say they enjoyed the recording. The original poster would then post a THANK YOU to each message.
The result was all the "RESENT POSTS" you would see at the bottom of the forum were these "Chit Chat" messages.
So instead of posting an unwanted THANK YOU message ... you are to hit the LIKE button.
