And in clones I also always saw chunk sizes of a power of the number 2. Is…

  - by piquadrat

  In the setup dialog for the Like-Button, there are only two options for layout: Unfortunately, the numbers for the website of my employer is nowhere near 22'000, so the powers that be have decided that we should not show the number of "likes" until said number is a little more in our favour.
