In Discussion Board Plus 2.0, users have the option to “like” discussions. In the Forum Settings, the Like settings can be turned on or off. Users have permission to click the Like button for each topic or reply. Users can like or unlike only one time; anonymous users do not have permission to like any topic.
To begin, create a new Discussion Board Plus list. Create a discussion then select a discussion to add replies.
Go to the Forum Settings on the ribbon to enable Like Topic or Reply. Note: the Like is shown on Topics and Replies.
When a user clicks Like, it will show the option to Unlike and the user(s) who liked the comment, as shown below. When you click Unlike, your account name will be removed from the list and the Like hyperlink button will be shown again.
In this release, we also provided a feature/tool to allow users to move a topic from one Discussion Board Plus list to another. This will delete the item from the first release and add the same item to Discussion Board Plus 2.0.
For example, User1 enters a topic asking about Discussion Board Plus. This topic should be under Community Central instead. The admin has the ability to move the topic, including images, over without having to copy and paste.
