I just figured something out. Its embarrassing, but I figure there could be others learn as you go [View all]

When you open a discussion thread, down in the bottom left there is a rec button. I always wondered what it was but the closest thing I could think of is that it meant record. I just figured it out, it means recommend. i shouldn't have taken so long to figure out since when you see the listings of threads there is a number of "recommended" below.
