Today I learned that clicking the upvote on one’s own wall post does not show a list of all the folks that did so in one place. It simply adds another vote, which you cannot undo. 😞

    Why would you undo like button if you like something 🤔🙄 It’s about your opinion not others… I don’t use any social media for keeping me sane and not taking completely over my life (reading news, useful stuff, dramabeans and watching something takes awful lot of time anyway) so I’m not familiar how it works elsewhere.

      I didn’t mean to like myself/my own post. Most do not allow someone to like their own post/comment, and I can only think of one other site I’m a somewhat regular on aside from here where I’ve encountered where you can vote for your own contribution.

      Whenever someone likes something of mine, I’m interested in knowing which post/comment, and the hovertext link doesn’t make it obvious. Yet clicking on every single “X liked your ” it often takes more time than I have to wait for each page to load, so I was hoping like with other sites, I could just quickly see a list.

      To see the list, with some sites, if you hover over a like or up/down arrow, it shows whom else has already done so. Others, if you are looking at your post specifically, you click on them to see the list instead of hovering. If you click on someone else’s, it adds you to the total.

        It’s a labour to look at all the likes from which post or comment they’re coming from but I didn’t know until recently like you that you can press like for your own things, also it occurred to me by mistake. It’s not a big deal, the best is when we learn from our own mistakes.

        Oups 😱, we just gave a manual to people who like to rank high how to do it faster.😂

          Yep, I just felt a bit, “AH NO! That’s not what I wanted!” when it happened. 😳

          Indeed, we have turned a page for some on self ranking. 🧐

    It helped you get one step closer to the next level though.

      Wait…are you saying DB didn’t code the voting so people’s votes for themselves doesn’t count towards the title/rating system? If that is the case, that’s a bit of a surprise to me.

        I’m saying that voting for yourself does count toward moving up to your next title/rank.

          Thank you for the clarification.

          I have not had time to gaze upon the Mystery Tome of Rankage, wheresoever it may be tucked away. ⏳

        How a beanie goes up a level is an unsolved mystery here – what we do know is comments on recaps/articles are worth more than comments on wallposts.

          Interesting. I have a hard enough time trying to keep up here with what time I have to worry about ranks! 😧

          Though I do appreciate the humor in them when I see a new one for the first time.

          Looking through @lilyleftthevalley fan wall and desperate to escape my errand boy existence, I made two extraordinary discoveries:
          1. you can up vote yourself (could I bring myself to be so shameless? Answer: if in another year I am still an errand boy, you will see my rise through the ranks become atmospheric)
          2. comments on recaps/articles weigh more than comments on wall posts (ok that helps)

            No one would know if you liked your own posts here. I got up to errand boy pretty quick thanks to covid and all the free time (lol) but yup been a year or so now running errands.

          Same here, but I haven’t been an errand boy for maybe more than 6 months, I think… Time has blurred. There would be little joy in self updating, for me at least, but knowing that does explain the world of dbs a little more. Ha ha ha. (to be heard as a dry cynical laugh)
