What site uses a heart for "like"? I thought that was universally used as "bookmark"? The thumbs up icon seems like it should be an easy option.

You would think.

This board runs on phpbb (same as rrf only we use a newer version). It has a lot of built in features but no like button. There are also extension you can add which add features but the only ones i've found are the like/love button which is a heart or a "thanks for your post" extension which apparently doesn't work with this version of phpbb and i'm not sure how that one works. I could write my own extension if i had the chops, but i don't, at least not yet. It's possible i could use the like/love extension and just replace the heart icon, that might be doable. Also, seems people are working on a facebook style like button extension so i've been keeping my eyes open...

More power to you. Stuff like that drives me looney so I don't even bother trying to keep up.
