Looking around, I felt like the "Thank You" button was missing something. And that something was clearly an icon! Share the love.
The following CSS code will add a "heart" icon to the "Thank You" button on the forums.
Screenshot of the results here.
I have no idea how the administrators can apply this, but if all else fails you can put it in a <head><style> section.

.com_kunena .message .btn[name="unthankyou"]:before, .com_kunena .message .btn[name="thankyou"]:before {
display: inline-block;
width: 14px;
height: 14px;
margin-right: .25em;
line-height: 14px;
vertical-align: middle;
font-family: 'IcoMoon';
font-style: normal;
speak: none;
}
.com_kunena .message .btn[name="unthankyou"]:before {
content: "\e278";
}
.com_kunena .message .btn[name="thankyou"]:before {
content: "\e277";

Thanks... adding hearts to the thank you button is somewhat low on my list of 'to do' things though.

I'm not exactly fond of the day myself. It's a freakin' trap originated by women to make guys feel bad guys (and these days, one partner for another). If a person does nothing (in my case, a guy), then he's a bum (and won't get any for a few weeks). If he does inadequately - as in less than the partner thinks he SHOULD have done, he's a bum, or worse (and won't get any for a few weeks!). If he overdoes it, partner will feel that she was deliberately made to look bad (and he won't get any for a few weeks!).
So there's a very tiny sweet spot of Valentine's Day attention that might put partner in a mood romantically, and it's almost impossible to find. Not worth trying, IMHO.
If you get her an amusing card: "What? You think our relationship is a joke?!?" (not getting any)
a romantic, sappy card: "Whoa! You're moving way too fast with the relationship!" (not getting any)
Chocolates: "You think I can eat these and not ruin my diet?" (not getting any)
Roses: "Oh, how swee ... OW! What kind of idiot doesn't take the damned thorns off?" (not getting any)
Red roses: "Moving too fast" (warning to back off, you may be about to be dumped, and not getting any)
non-red roses:: "You don't love me!! (with lots of tears and maybe a door slam)" (not getting any)
Non-roses: "That's .... nice." (really, REALLY not getting any)
A cute outfit: "That'll make but butt look big!" (not getting any)
Cute outfit 2: "I could NEVER fit into that! (implication that she thinks she's fat, and you highlighted it.) (move to a spare bedroom or the sofa. better yet, stay with a friend for a few weeks)
Cute outfit 3: "Ugh - I can't wear those colors!"
Cute outfit 4: "This is a WHAT size? Do you think I'm fat?" (move to another state. or country. you'll NEVER get out of this one)
Cute outfit 5: "Um, okay. (Hint that a rival girl has the same outfit and looks dynamite in it, and girl is now mentally comparing herself and coming up short) (not getting any)
And for God's sake NEVER, EVER propose on Valentine's Day! I could spend a vignette worth of anecdotes on that one!
My advice - arrange a last-second business emergency trip and get the hell out of town, then call her and say "I miss you; wish you were here so I could take you out to dinner." Doesn't matter if you're not home; she'd be upset at SOMETHING and you wouldn't get any, anyway.

Nicely put Elrod.
I'm fast approaching my 58th birthday and I've notice over those years how much St. Valentines day has become more and more commercialised until now, in my opinion, it is little more than just another sales high point for the shops along with most of the other 'Religious' dates in the calendar.
Yes..., I'm a cynic in things like this!

I don't, I don't.
I love Me Day.
Which is really odd, considering I am asexual.
Don't Drick and Drive.

In all seriousness though... maybe too much seriousness.... I, like many TG's am in a shitty position when it come to relationships. I don't like or want to be in the body I am in. That makes it difficult for me to trust anyone who claims to like how I look or be interested in them seriously (that old cliche of having to love yourself before others can love you? ya... in spades). But on top of that... my body doesn't react the way I want (or expect) my body to react to romantic or sexual stimulae. I don't get to take the role I'm inclined to in the bedroom, without basically outting myself... so sex before real intimacy/trust is a complete act, and not really the foundation for a stable relationship. I am, generally, attracted to women... unfortunately, the women who are attracted to my physical appearance are not typically interested in women... while the women I am most attracted to, tend not to be attracted to large men. So ya... Valentine's day? Roman bastard does not deserve to be a saint.
Fate guard you and grant you a Light to brighten your Way.

Stupidity is a capitol offense, a summary not indictable one.

My reason is different and has nothing to do with Valentines day itself.
it is just the reminder that I'm older, since my birthday is the day before.
