Story LIKE ❤️ Button Doesn't Get Highlighted

Hi is the ❤️ heart (like) button broken?

I liked and added as a favourite a few stories (2 Micros, 1 Masturbation) but it won't change the Like colour as it used to be from grey (default) to red (active). It remained grey while the star ⭐ (favourite) turned to red immediately.

Upon refresh, the 🔥count matched the like and favourite but the Like (❤️) button remained grey which is its the default state. It might prompt the reader to tap/click again thinking it hasn't been counted like I did thus causing confusion. Doing it again (2nd tap) deducts the 1 🔥 for the like unless the reader does it again(3rd tap).

Happy Thursday 🌻

I checked with some members in the Lounge. 1 had a delayed highlighting whereas another had a nonreactive Like (❤️) button (same as my experience today). They're using a laptop and desktop respectively. I'm on a mobile device.

Your like to me is not red? not sure if it is supposed to be red?

Interesting. I think you'll see my Like as grey because the action was from my end. When I liked your reply, it reflected as 1 like yet still grey. As it appears, it happens the same here in the forum as well as in the Group posts and comments as how it did in the Stories.

I hope they update it to an active state (red) so that we'll be aware that the action has been carried out from default to active.

are you using "dark mode?" I am, and too have this issue - but when I turn off dark mode, the "like" heart turns red!!

Yes because it conserves battery! You're a genius! I switched to Light mode and it showed what I was missing. Odd though. I used to see the action change from grey to red (or pink because it's showing lighter😂) even in Dark mode like the Favourite button.

Looks like a forgotten rule in dark mode. I've reported it to the dev team. Thanks for raising this wee bugette.

You're welcome. It happens in areas where the Like button is available.

This seems unrelated but I have liked some comments on stories and the likes seemed to have disappeared after a time. They were there when I logged out and immediately logged in. However a few days later they were gone. The count was back down to 0 likes. ??

This is the norm on Forum and Group pages. Likes given and received only last a short time. Sometimes it's just a few hours, then poof back to zero. It has been brought up many times.
I have not seen any vanish on stories themselves, but any comment likes do disappear.

Yes, an irritation. It's been raised with the dev team on a number of occasions. No fix as yet, sadly.
