    That's actually a good idea, though it isn't just CSS; I'll need to see exactly where it's getting that "Likes" stuff from, as it's not the same thing as "Likes" - it's something to do with the way they broke the rep system and tried to turn it into a combination of a personal-to-the-user and simultaneously thread-wide thing. I can't remember all the details, but it was something like positive rep for the first post in a thread would be treated as the equivalent of the thread rating (negative rep ceased to be a thing).

    I got rid of that idea, wrote a new plugin to do thread ratings the old way, and extended the rep system with another plugin to also work the old way. But I assume that "Likes" thing is left over from that way of interpreting things. I'll check, and probably get rid

    EDIT TO ADD: and done

    Because the plastic wrap is failing?

    At least now it's easier to identify the honey-coloured sticky threads, oozing slowly down the screen!
