The “Become a Fan” is broken. When I click it the fan total goes backward… instead of adding a fan it takes one away. When I refresh the page it goes back to the original un-clicked total. This happened on both a desktop and also an icon theme. Just trying to show support and appreciation for their hard work ☹

Yep, it’s doing it to me too, in the same way that timbowman23 explained. Sorry if you didn’t want the redundancy, I wasn’t for sure on that part. ❔ ❓ ❔

Is this to have fix or just like it is moving forward?

I can’t find this button at all now; has it been removed?

It’s above the rating. It is a bit small I will admit.

@dschinn-de perhaps we could make the become a fan similarly sized to the rating.
