Not really… Likes seem to be more like “Kudos” (the star thing next to  
their name) on that site rather than “Accepted Solutions” - if you notice  
in the screenshot they have both - the reason is because you can “like” a  
response without it being the solution to the issue (for example someone  
was helpful, but they didn’t resolve the issue) and ONLY the original  
poster or a moderator can mark a post as the solution to the thread. It  
sounds cumbersome, but it seems to really work well - i’ve seen it on a  
number of support-focused boards it makes finding an answer in a long  
thread really easy.
