antp, can you restore the Facebook "like" feature?

A few new features and fixes have been applied to the site.
It contains mostly non-visible changes that improve some small details for me (as main admin), and also on security-level (hoping I didn't break anything).
One of the main new features is the option to make a temporary ban with a end date (or not) + message displayed to the user when he tries to access to a feature like contribution, posting pics, etc. The ban can be for posting comments and/or contribution and/or pictures in comment.
It also includes user account management directly from the site. That's not really useful for all of you, as I'm the only one who can make changes to them, but for me it will make much easier to ban a user or activate an account via my smartphone (as before I had to do that in the database directly).
Admins can view the user profiles to see active bans and to which contrib features the user has access. This new screen is available via the "Admin tools" link.
Also for admins, on the page displayed when a vehicle was deleted, if the image is found in the trash, a link is displayed to admins so they can see the deleted image.
When deleting a vehicle, if potential links are found in other comments of the same movie, they are displayed in the confirmation page, so they can be cleaned/updated if needed.
And now the more visible changes:
- comment pictures now show a small icon when hovering it: either a "chain" icon for image linking to another vehicle page, or a "zoom" icon for the regular comment pics.
Comment pics open in a popup that allows to quickly close them rather than having to navigate back to the page (and reload it). Of course you can still open it in a new tab like before. It also allows to have the "brightness increase" option like for main pics.
In mobile the icon is not visible since you can't "hover" the picture with the cursor. So I was thinking about having the "link" icon always visible on mobile to make these kind of pictures recognizable. What do you think?
- most of the pages that include a field now focus the first field by default. So you don't have to first click in the field to login for example.
- while adding the image popup, I cleaned the javascript of other pages, so I hope I didn't break anything (especially in mobile mode).
- profile page edit now has links for picture upload and the the preview button like for comments

Within the next hours I'll put an update of the site with a few minor changes and fixes.
I'll post more information here at that time.

Yes, I disabled again the forum of my site then
For issues of the site in general (not related to new updates) it is maybe better to continue on this other thread:

That bot is bothering the thumbs again apparently.

There seem to be some bot "attacking" the forum of my site (antp.be), which is hosted on the same server as comment pictures.
I disabled that forum until that stops (or if I find how to block that).
So comment pictures should work again.

Comment Pictures Error while storing picture? What's going on here?
And It's because the site connection loading is too long
