Hey.

We use Discourse at [Lookback](http://lookback.io/), as an internal forum.

We use Likes to support and promote one another’s ideas and posts.

As such, a Like is an important component of the communication happening: it’s just as valuable as someone replying “I agree with this.” or “Sounds great” or “Let’s do it”.

### Problem

The Likes often go unnoticed, because:

- The Likes don’t make threads appear unread
- The Likes aren’t taking up a lot of visual impact (space & color)

### Proposed solution

- Left-align likes at the footer of each post
- Add a colored heart for posts that have likes, no color for posts that don’t
- Potentially display avatars right away (rather than on expansion)

You know your design constraints best, so this proposed solution is just a very quick recommendation.

Thanks!
