What is the blue THUMBS UP icon for?

vdotmatrix

In client view you can click the blue thumbs up icon.

What is that?
Can I track this some where?
Is it useful to record which images the client has selected for final editing?

thanks in advance.

Are you using Events on a Business account? That has the ability for the viewer to select favorites and for the site owner to see those favorites. See http://help.smugmug.com/customer/portal/articles/332314-how-do-i-choose-my-favorites-from-an-event-.

If you're asking about the "regular" thumbs up icon, clicking that does play into the popular photos on your site (http://www.penosoimages.com/popular/) but you can't see the number of thumbs ups or the individual who clicked them.

Hi denise...Thanks for answering this for me.....Yes I have used events....some of the dinosaurs I have dealt with struggle with new technology....

WHy the heck do they have THUMBS UP icons on the images if they are misleading to the clients....Can I some how remove them or MAKE them more functional than they are because they are a waste of space otherewise right?

I thought they changed that feature from the legacy flavor of SMUGMUG..

THanks again.

If you use events then you can see the viewers favorites.

If you don't want the thumbs up to show go into your gallery settings, social tab, and set Allow Likes to Off. I'm assuming you are talking about removing the thumbs up in a gallery not in an event.
