Nodejs.org: A little confuse for "Current version" and "Current"

We call Node.js's latest version as "Current". So, I think there is a little confuse in the download page to beginners because there are two "current".

How do you think?

If you really want to promote LTS as “safe” and Current as “latest” then a separate link underneath would probably work better than a toggle than doesn’t look like a toggle (among other issues: its bottom half could be mistaken for a description of the top half).

Other UI options to express alternatives: tabs and radio buttons

Yeah I can confirm, I did not get that's a toggle until @rauschma pointed it out.

As @outsideris mentioned, the other confusing element is “Current version: v4.6.0”. Here, it may be better to write, e.g., “Version to download: …”.

If I were to take a look at this who is the best person to contact re: browser support/testing list? Thanks, m

I've submitted a fix for this specific issue, thank you @outsideris for submitting the bug.

For other UI / UX related problems please open a separate issue to focus specifically on them.

@TheAlphaNerd Awesome!
