That is ... brilliant. Too brilliant for an exclamation mark even, only the full stop can carry the gravitas of the brilliance of this.
The marketing opportunities this presents boggle the mind, do they not?
Imagine you go to the gym and find a machine like that ... do x of y and you get a McD voucher for a free super-size! Even if you're not a gym-member! Of course, once they get the likely customers for this through the door ...

Man, the only time I squat on the subway is when I'm pooping.

No. I've just tried again. Didn't fuck the forum entirely, but I restored from backup nonetheless.
Haven't found a mod that will install alright, let alone work. BJ's theory was that it's a version problem. Everything out there is for phpBB 3.0.11, we're running 3.0.12. As soon as I find one that advertises suitability for 3.0.12, I'll try and install it. But I haven't found one, yet. In Soviet Russia, working mods find you. When they can be bothered.
If you feel like trawling through the 'net for a phpBB3 mod for rating posts, suitable for version 3.0.12, please, be my guest. I've been looking since, basically, I've taken over. From day one, I've been googling at least once a week (and searched the internet, too). No joy, thus far.

DG, I didn't mean that quite literally, must be lost in translation from American mindset to German, perhaps someone with better lingual skills explain this better than me, but generally the "can we get ....." posted on the forum is not expected to be met with any kind of action.

My computer skill is limited to early HTML and I have as much patience (if not less) than my 5 year old, so me searching world wide web for phpBB upgrades is about as likely as performing a Swan Lake. I am glad that someone is taking care of this place, even though I have not been active lately I do check in from time to time and it feels like home. Thanks for keeping the lights on!

I must apologize. Reading what I posted, it does sound like I'm ranting at you. I wasn't. I was ranting in general. I want a "like" button myself, which is why this morning I thought I'd give it another shot at your suggestion. I'm not frustrated with anyone wanting a like button, but with the inability to bloody well get one. I should have expressed myself more like that:

No. :cry:
