General Discussion 7 months, 1 week agoIn regards to what I’ve heard about “Depot” being used in ANYTHING about the new project…people have a bad taste in their mouth about the word “depot”.

Hi Mary! You may have already liked that particular idea before. If the thumb is green then you previously ’liked’ the idea, so if you hit it again the number will go down and the thumb will return to a neutral grey – meaning it is not liked.
