FAQ - Reactions & Likes

Reactions & Likes The familiar "Like" feature has been significantly enhanced in ScubaBoard 2021. Clicking on Like works like the old days, it registers a Like. However, pausing your mouse pointer over "Like" without clicking, which is called a mouseover, will pop the Reactions menu...
