How do you like the new changes to talkbass.com ?

I notice PM allowance has gone from 500 to 1000, which is obviously good.

However, on the old app, it was just a question of swiping a message to delete it...so how do you delete messages from your PM inbox on iPhone? I'm sure it's really easy, but I haven't figured this one out yet...
 
What's with the 'like' button in the first place? Liking a post as a way of +1ing is great, but liking a poster kinda makes it a popularity contest. I do miss the blue screen, which I hope will be coming soon. Mostly it's just a matter of getting used to, I recon.
 
Looks good, but when I click on the link in my Bookmarks, the page opened shows
TalkBass.com - Error
The requested forum could not be found.
and then, I have to place the cursor over the Forums button to show all of them. I don't think this is a settings issue.

Posting the "likes" received always seemed like an odd thing to do to me also. I understand it has its roots in the online game community.

Agree completely with your comments about the like button. I'd even like to see both a "Like" and a "Dislike" button at the post level. I bet it would be a real eye opener on some of these threads where a hand full of posters take the conversation hostage by pilling up on one or two posters. They would likely find that their opinions are not as popular as they think they are.
