We may have moved from a heart to a thumbs-up, but I'm still quite fond of this forum...

I was under the impression that a "thumbs up" gesture is highly offensive in various parts of the world. Any particular reason for this change?

I don't think we made it, I think Discourse did.

Hmm, looks like it might be configurable, but it's still set to "heart"...

Sounds like a bug to report to Discourse. Perhaps at a high urgency level. IA has a world-wide audience.

Meh, already seems to be back to hearts after a refresh.

edit: looks like @paul-griffith might have made that happen

Well. That was short-lived.

This is in the same category as the fact that only four user accounts have the [First Reaction](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/badges/104/first-reaction) badge since the forum is configured to not allow reactions on the first post. Except apparently for one day where it was turned on for a while and a few people did it before it was turned back off. 🙂

I was confused for a moment because I thought "like" counted as a reaction, but I guess it doesn't. I guess it only counts for the other ones enabled by the plugin which we don't have here.
