Hey, Could someone point me in the right direction. We’d like to extend the Like function so that users can like profiles as well as posts. The idea is it starts conversation is a users doesn’t initially engage and participate in the forum. They may like another users profile who in turn would open a conversation via a pm. Many thanks

Thanks guys much appreciated. The Follow plugin might work.

Not exactly a “Like” button, but the Discourse Follow allows users to Follow each other, which may have the same desired effect of demonstrating interest.
