Strange. I see what you're seeing on most posts. But on the first quote above, I have given thanks and still see a Thumbs-Up icon in the lower left corner above the note saying I have given thanks.

See attached screenshot...

Update:

I think it is fixed now. I'll look at other issues (like changing the badges back to the original ones), when I am back at my desk in around 10 hour from now.

Thanks again.

Please confirm when you get a chance.

It seems to be fixed. I'm always curious about what caused one of these intermittent problems... What did you find?

Fixed (I think) LOL

(Note that even if you de-select that post for Multi-Quoting, the underscore icon remains.)
OK.. On the TODO list (Update: Fixed 1 August 2018 ).

Easy CSS Fix:

Code:
style="text-decoration:none;" in <a> element

If you need text that appears when you hover over an icon to tell you what the icon means, it seems to be an indication that the icon doesn't not clearly indicate what information it is trying to convey. And, from a human-factors stand-point, you expect the text that appears when you hover over an icon to explain what will happen if you click on that icon. That is not what happens here. If you click on this icon, you get a menu similar to the menu you get when you select the User CP menu at the top of the page, but the menu applies to the user to submitted that post instead of to the currently logged-in user. Consider using the solid Chalkboard-teacher icon to indicate that the user is on-line, the solid Chalkboard icon to indicate that the user is off-line, and the light Chalkboard or Chalkboard-teach icon to indicate that the user is hiding. If there is a user-at-a-terminal icon, that would be even better than the Chalkboard-teach icon. Hovering over the icon should display something like "Display user name's CP Menu". You might also consider adding a down arrow next to whatever icon you use to indicate that there is a menu hidden under it.
OK. I will change it to the Chalkboard-teach icon from Font Awesome. Great idea!

The same glitch happens when you click on the menu item labeled "Visit user name's homepage!" in the menu that comes up when you select one of the one or two icons to the right of a user name in the top left corner of a post.
OK.. Will take a look. Please post an example link (user) where this problem occurs.

If you don't go back to the badges that we used before, please choose an icon (although I don't have a good suggestion) that indicates the meaning) without using text when you hover over it to explain what the icon stands for. And, please consider making clicking on this icon be a no-op (and not adding underlining when hovering over this icon or badge). I liked the old badges better than a single icon because they indicated the position of that user within the UNIX & Linux Forums staff hierarchy; the coffee cup and eye icons don't do that (and don't, at least to me, indicate that the user is a UNIX & Linux Forums staffer).
OK.. I think I'll revert back to the original gif icons for now and I don't have any good "Font Awesomes" for this.

Easy fix. Will do Thanks again.

Hey.

There was a vB conditional statement inside the DOM span element which set the element attribute "style="display:none;" based on a PHP variable to hide the thumbs-up icon.

For some odd reason, it did not work properly.

So, I got rid of the vB conditional in the DOM element and moved the if statement outside the entire <span></span> element and removed the attribute "style="display:none;" code inside the element.

On the surface, it should have done the same thing, but this way seems to work without any glitches.

OK.

Note that I suggested using the Chalkboard-teach icon for two conditions (solid for on-line and light for hidden) and the solid Chalkboard icon for one condition (off-line).

The obvious example is the link to your Home Page from your (i.e. Neo) public profile Contact Info tab.

Yes, the link in my public profile page to my "home page" goes to the home page of the forums.

That is the link I set up in my UserCP as my home page.

So that is the right behavior (at least for me).
