Correct, it's just a number added to their profile so far; one could query the likes table though and pull up any stats where they wanted them, the table has the following columns:
TYPE, POST_ID, POSTER_ID, TOPIC_ID, USER_ID, TIMESTAMP
Whereas dummy data populated would look like:
p, 77, 2, 18, 2, 1442183370
I may add in a "IS_TOPIC" column that'd store if that post is the first post of a topic, for identifying a topic; initially I was going to build this out to like users and topics on its own, but backpeddled (though I left the type column that identifies a post like (p post, u user, t topic; but a topic is just the first post of a topic).
So we'd use a count to grab any distinct posts that the user has created that have been liked; will probably work its way into the user profile screen now that you mention it...
