Like button is gone

I haven't got any likes on my pictures for a long time. Today I discovered that when I am logged out there is no thumb sign below the images, so it is impossible to "like" my images. All my galleries allow likes, and I haven't added any CSS that removes it as I know. Does anyone know what could be wrong?

It appears that the like button is gone from all members, even on galleries that allow likes. It looks like an error on the server side.

Photo views, comments, comment score, and other factors continue to attribute to a photos' rank; the Popular Today page should still function as it has in the past.

We have every intention of bringing it back, and more. As it existed, people could like your photos but there was no way to do anything with that: you couldn't see who liked it, you couldn't see how many people liked it, etc. We'd like to solve that and make interacting with your photos a whole lot better. Stay tuned!

I also miss it but this sounds interesting. I am curious.

Aaron, the Smugmug > Popular > Today page seems to no longer be populated with photos. It has been that way for at least two days now.

Also, and related, why is Smugmug > Browse still using old Smugmug?

Both excellent questions I'll need to get back to you on.

BTW, you can add social media buttons to individual photos? I only know how to do that for a gallery as a whole, not for the individual photos. Or is that what you meant?
Every year I create a "favorites" smart gallery... combining date and popular to show what images from that year were most popular. Last year's favorites gallery was a bit sparse because the new smug like button was pretty small and it was never clear what it was for (never was a problem in old smug). Now without a like button, this year's favorites gallery has a whopping 2 pictures in it. I thought the idea here was that you'd use other parameters to determine what photos were most popular. Obviously comments/ratings are useless because of the login requirement, so what else is there? This is broken. Why take features away before replacements are ready to go?

The option for viewers to "thumbs up"/like a photograph has been removed.

It does not look like any of the photographs on this page have changed since that feature was removed. It does not look like photo view stats have any impact on my Popular Photos.

This feature has been missing for quite some time now. Is it really coming back in an improved format or have we lost it forever? My Popular Photos page ( http://www.markwweston.com/Popular ) has not changed since this feature was removed.

In the future we'll be turning our attention back to Engagement, but we're currently working on some other exciting projects. Give us some more time and you'll see us come back to this. I can't promise that the "like" button will be back, but we certainly want to ensure that your Popular page doesn't stay stale and will have a number of ideas on how to do that.

My Popular Photos page http://www.weston.photos/Popular has not changed in about 1 YEAR. Am I correct in understanding that our own Popular Photos pages were only populated by our long missing LIKE photo option? It seems like photo views has no impact on my Popular Photos page. Am I correct? Any insights or time lines regarding when our Popular Photos pages will come back to life? Thank you,
