Since we've transitioned from a direct link to a handy-dandy button, how this would look like when implemented would be kiss buttons in every sidebar event - that is, the one that looks like this:

Then, you'd be able to directly kiss by clicking that button. (It wouldn't open a new page.)

Any thoughts before I go ahead and implement this?

Yup, something like that. It's not too hard to implement, but it won't be retroactive (so any events you have from kisses you got before we change will have the old text)

I think this is a change we want to make just for the convenience of it. You'd just click the sidebar event to kiss back, and not even have to load a new page.

People who hate how it looks could use custom CSS to "fix" it, and with CSS you could remove everything (image, background color, etc) and make it look like plain text if you wanted. And if actually just looks terrible then I could make our actual official CSS do that too xD
