I'd like to change the Like and Comment links to icons instead of text. How can I make this happen? I'm new to OSSN and have no clue how to create components.
Do you mean the icons for upvotes and downvotes? For the Up + Down Vote Icons fnf on new Reddit, simply go to Mod Tools > Community Appearance > Posts and use 24 x 24px or 48 x 48px images.
Hey @Z Man thank you very much. That works perfectly.
Yes.

I recommend to use the Custom Strings component instead.
See https://www.opensource-socialnetwork.org/component/view/1942/custom-strings
If I alter the main file like that will it revert back after an upgrade?
You may can edit the language files OssnLike/locale/ossn.en.php and in the translation you may edit the string and use the unicode font awesome code. https://fontawesome.com/v4.7.0/icons/
Due to the many requests in the past for additonal features and components we have decided to develope a premium version. Features like Hashtags, Videos, Polls, Events, Stories, Link Preview, etc included in it.
