I wouldn't mind knowing who liked a post I made if they wish to be known. If I'm liking someone's post I don't see why I should keep myself anonymous to them either. As long as users had the option to block their name from being seen by who they liked if they wish, I don't really see why the change should be a problem then.

One question would be is it retroactive or on a like by like basis? Will past likes automatically show your name or will your name remain hidden if you decide to select that option? If you choose to hide your name for now, but change the setting later so it shows up, will your old likes remain nameless?

I misunderstood the rollout of this feature and chose "no." I didn't realize that it would only show the like to the person whose post was liked. I can get behind that.

Ok and so the second part of the question, if you turn it on and off multiple times in the future, all likes from a few days ago forward will also become visible or hidden along with your selection, or is each like going to be stored as hidden or visible depending on your setting at that specific point in time?

I think this would have to be accompanied by a forum rule that nobody is allowed to post the names of people that like their posts.  

I voted no in the poll, but after reading some of the comments here, I'd say I'm neutral at this point

I voted no. I fashion myself as something of a "like" fairy. Fluttering around the site sprinkling likes all over the place. If I lose my anonymity, I won't be able to carry out my duties.

It's a good idea, ( I like it anyway ) but like all good ideas, it means more work for Talon. I'll get used to the new notification system if it gets voted in. :)

My worry would be those times I've liked someone's post by accident, or changed my mind. If they get a notification saying I liked it, check out the thread, only to find out there's no like, they'll know I unliked their post, and might take it personally.

That's an interesting thought.

Sheeeit and here I thought I was the only like fairly.
