Why do this?

Users often don't realise that question thread posts can by voted on, or that OP can mark as solution.

These simple template edits make it more obvious.
Instead of:

It will be this:

Two simple template edits:

In the template app_content_vote.less:

Search for @xf-fontSizeLargest and replace with @xf-fontSizeLarge
Search for .m-faBefore(@fa-var-angle-up); and replace with .m-faBefore(@fa-var-thumbs-up);
Search for .m-faBefore(@fa-var-angle-down); and replace with .m-faBefore(@fa-var-thumbs-down);

You should now have thumbs up and down. But they are a bit faint so

Search for opacity: 0.2; and change to something like opacity: 0.7;

Text prompts: in the template post_question_macros:

(1) Search for <div class="message-column"> and replace with

Code:

<div class="message-column">
                <xf:comment>add the word "vote"</xf:comment><span style="color:gray;text-align:center;font-size:11px">Vote:</span>

(style to suit)

(2) Search for <span class="u-srOnly">{{ $post.is_question_solution ? $isSolutionText : $makeSolutionText }}</span>and replace with
Code:

Code:

<span class="u-srOnly">{{ $post.is_question_solution ? $isSolutionText : $makeSolutionText }}</span>
                            <xf:comment>add the phrase mark as solution </xf:comment>
                           <span style="color:gray;text-align:center;font-size:11px">({{ $post.is_question_solution ? $isSolutionText : $makeSolutionText}})</span>

NB: if you unmark as solution, the text does not actually change until you refresh the page.

For more dynamic control of styling use a class and define in extra.less

NB:be careful not to erase the closing </a> or you will be sorry.
