The right way to say it is:
"A todos les gustaba"

You put the plural in the pronoun "les", not in the verb "gustaba". And you have to use the preposition "A" at the beginning (for this verb in particular).

*Edit*
Hammagua is right. If the direct object is plural, then you use the verb in plural (but he has the "a" missing). i.e.:
"A todos les gustaban los caramelos" = Everybody used to like the candies.

Good luck.

Actually, if you say "everybody USED to like", the correct translation is "a todos les solía gustar". "A todos les gustaba" is Spanish for "Everybody liked".
You would use "gustaban" if the noun is a plural, i.e., "apples" you would say "A todos les gustabaN las manzanas" ("everybody liked the apples").

A (this A is important) todos les (leS, because it's plural) gustaba.

It depends if the indirect object is plural.

For instance "Everyone used to like computers" is "Todos les gustaban computadoras"

if "Computers" were singular it would be

"Todos les gustaba la computadora"

under no circumstances strategies is a slang or won't be in a position to be actually translated into Spanish. some meanings are: Olvidalo No importa No tiene importancia No vale l. a. pena etc. something of the sentence is: encontramos otro vuelo, vamos a estar en Mexico el martes en l. a. mañana. or: encontramos otro vuelo, estaremos en Mexico el martes por l. a. mañana.

because todos is plural it refers to more that one person (ustedes form). even though todos is a group, GUSTUBAN would be correct
