This is probably stupid.

Hey, as the title suggests I have no faith this will go ahead but wanted to voice the opinion anyway.

I think it would be great if we had a 'like button' attached to all posts, it would work similar to how the Facebook 'like' system works. If anyone likes a post or values it they can appreciate it in a more simple manner rather than a personal message every time JoeyK (or others) write a post. It could be anonymous or have the username attached, I just think it would be a great system for showing members how valuable some of their posts and opinions are.

Hoping for a response. Sincerely,

The Filthiest of Tugboats.
Religion feels to me a little like a Nigerian Prince scam. The "offer" is illegitimate, the "request" is unreasonable and the source is dubious, in fact, Nigeria doesn't even have a royal family.

Noooooo! I'd probably get the high score. ;)
Acts 13:48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord, and as many as were appointed to eternal life believed.

Yeah, that's a great idea, again, I find something simpler and less formal would show more appreciation for a lot of peoples inputs and not only on the content of the debate but even the small jokes and the personality some people put into this forum. The MPG system is great but I think the Like system would provide a different level of appreciation, both together would make a great addition to the forum imo, but either way, your decision :D

OK, I'll put it on my to-do list.

I added the Facebook Like button on the bottom right of all posts.

Not sure if it was intended, but this has caused a large empty white space to be present on Firefox.
This might not be the case when I'm signed out, so I'll check.


Yep... Only when I'm logged in.
What is wrong with me? :(

Forgot to change something in the subSilver style. Should be fixed now.

Also, you should be able to see the MPG award on the top left. I had left that out of the subSilver also.
