I think that if it is possible... we should be able to like posts and pictures. Like on facebook, to make this feel more of a social network than just a forum

The first thing I think of is the rep system, and we all know how well that turned out (if you don't know, refer to the fact that we no longer have a rep system). I think it's a little too similar; a popularity pissing contest and whatnot.

Well the point of this forum is to be primarily a Help Site, not a social network. The social aspect is just a coincidental byproduct.

Ok :$ I was just thinking though because there's a lot of posts I've liked and haven't been able to do anything about it. If people couldn't see that they've been liked it could work but I don't know too much about how VBulletin works

I'm not too sure what I think actually :L

Sending them a friendly PM or VM is really all you can do.

This sounds a little like the rep system....

It was disabled because it was so heavily misused. But what has been said is correct.
