New like feature in 4 browsers

[dubob]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]I decided to take a look at how IE, Chrome, Firefox, and Edge browsers handle this new 'Like' feature. What I found is that Chrome, Firefox, and Edge browsers require you to sign in to fb to use the function; IE does not. Here is what you get from each of the 4.[/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]As you can see, Chrome, Firefox, and Edge are very similar in their handling of the function - you have to sign in to fb to use it. IE does not require that and you get an instant like when you click the like button. You can change your mind and unlike a post in IE by simply clicking the button a second time. I didn't try it in the other 3 browsers because I'm not a fb user and don't have an account to actually let me like something in those three browsers.[/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]Curt also told me that BFT was designed to work in IE way back when and re-writing it to be compatible with any other browsers would be cost prohibitive.[/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]I hope this clears up some of the confusion on why and how this new feature works.[/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]One other thing I noticed about the like feature is this - every single post in which I clicked on the like button shows exactly 8 likes (me & 7 others). That is highly unlikely with 23 posts that there is exactly 8 likes on every post that I liked. That would indicate to me that there is a glitch in the software that keeps track of the likes for each post. Admin just might want to take a look at that. Hint; hint! [/#800000][/font]
