Like button placed weirdly on any closed topic

AI-generated summary

twofoursixeight reports a UX issue where the like button is positioned unusually on any closed topic — shifted to the right instead of its usual left-side placement. The issue also causes the button to reposition again when the “…” menu is clicked. The problem is not limited to “solved” topics, as initially thought, but affects all closed topics.

So I have found out that closed topics on meta that are solved place the like button in a weird position. When clicking the “…” button, the like button gets moved again.


Normally, the like button is supposed to be placed on the left for normal topics, but closed topics move this button over to the right for whatever reason.

Update: It actually happens on any closed topic, not “solved” topics.
