Button: I changed "Thanks" to "Like"

The functionality is the same. I changed the wording. It makes more sense to like a post because of the ubiquitous Facebook paradigm. Plus, the button is similar to the FB "like" imagery... thumbs up. You won't see the button on this post because I omitted General Chat from this functional...

Re: 2007 V70 R

Oh yes, the springs would certainly affect all that.

Re: New forum theme is active now

That's a really great solution, June. I'd make a night theme, but I don't want to troubleshoot/support two (or 3 etc) themes. One's hard enough.

Re: Turbo Guru question
