Exactly!
Example: I haven't like your page / I didn't like your page.
I haven't quit the gym at 5 PM / I didn't quit the gym at 5 PM.

Present perfect:
I haven't ever liked your page. ( Have + past participle)
No matter what you do to it, I won't like it.

I haven't ever quit the gym at 5 PM. The traffic is too bad then.
Simple past: (One finished event in the past.)
