"liking" posts, how does that work?

I will find another user's post helpful and not having started the discussion, the only information I have is that it counts as a "point to the next level" although I do not see it added to my points.

Can someone please explain this system to me or link me to the relevant information?

Thanks,

Gene

    The "Like" feature is not directly connected to the points engine. It was designed to show recognition of content that for whatever reason cannot be chosen as Correct or Helpful, but in our case it doesn't serve any other purpose.

    Thanks for your answers, I can't see a "Helpful" button. Am I not looking in the right place?

    There is no helpful button either.  Only the Adobe staff and "certain" moderators can mark your posting as helpful.  I said "certain" because I know nobody who can do this in DW or PSE forums except the Adobe staff who are diligently going through all the days posts and marking them as necessary.

    You can mark the answer as "Correct" but that is all you can do.

    Gene,

    Here is a short non explanation: The new forum software, which came this year, is actually made for corporal use, not open forums, so there is a lot without any real function. Other things with a function, such as Helpful Answers (you could give at least three in a thread) are gone (for the OP).

    The consensus so far seems to be that whenever you get that point, you will find that going to the next level means passing over to the other side, so you may wish to postpone your getting it.
