Hey!

I was wondering what it would take to get a like count displayed next to usernames in posts. It would serve as a sort of karma indicator / contribution counter for our members.

A lot of our forum members miss it from our previous forum software.

Is it something that can be accomplished using a plugin or does discourse itself have to be edited?

Thanks!

ps Love what you guys have done with discourse so far. @codinghorror @sam and team!
