There have been a lot of THANKS issued on posts lately, and that's great.
But it was also cluttering the posts and threads quite a bit, because the default code was a bit greedy with spacing, bolding of fonts, and size of fonts. So in the interest of keeping the forum readable, with clutter minimal, I've reduced the size of the Thanks text. You'll see all thanks now at the bottom of a post, in the gray matte frame.
So it wasn't removed, it didn't disappear -- it's just a little less intrusive now.
Thanks!
