On an actual desktop computer, actually. The LIKE button is on the bottomest rightest corner. I never considered the different devices as I'm a 98% PC user.
Oh heck, it probably also depends on which browser is used also. I use Firefox cuz Chrome is a storage and memory glutten and cuz Edge is..... well, Edge.

This link MAY help you, but then again it may not...

That's clearly a lie.
I am not inactive, I have answered anytime anyone has asked.
I havent been around 1 year to date because I have bought more gasoline for lawnmower than I have any of my cars.
I see your crippled back is still bothering you.

One day my kids brought his son to me, he was crying like a baby. It turned out that the boy had somehow gotten a thorn in the bottom of one of his feet. I was able to remove it and douse it with alcahol. Later that day He and his Italian then spouse came by to thank me and my then wife and invite to share cocktails with them. We spent some time with them for each of the remaining days of our stay and he taught me how to play Backgammon and proceeded to beat me up pretty good at the game on a daily basis.

I ran into him at a stage play several years later and he greeted me like an old friend. A true gentlemen with lots of class. He will be missed.
What a wonderful story. Sir Roger died while I was living the the UK (was stationed over there for two wonderful years for the Navy). Roger was "my Bond" as he was still making the movies while I was growing up. When they announced it on the radio as I was just getting into my car to leave work, I was crushed. I just sat there for a few minutes contemplating it all, thinking about watching his movies when I was growing up. It's a tough thing when one of your heroes dies. Thank you for posting this wonderful story.
