I notice the thumbs up/down the other day under peoples avatars (no sure if that new or old)
The facebook "like", twitter, google buttons/icons at the top of every thread I'm not a fan of as its just free advertising for the sights regardless of how you want to say it,
I don't care it people have it in the profiles as its off to the side and isn't in your face promotion for another site like the "like buttons" are to get traffic on there.
The translator is a great idea for others that English is not there first language for reading
The new changes to the page numbers (high lighted and in box's) get the thumbs up.....
