Thanks buttons
« on: November 03, 2009, 08:36:40 pm »
I've got a suggestion for the forum! A thanks feature would be great to have. Not sure how easy it is to work in with the engine this board runs on, but i think it would be a great feature to have. "The following users say Thanks for this post:" and then under each name by post count, add in a Thanks count.

Just a thought!

I believe there is a mod for that for this forum. I'll look at it if enough people want it.

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

I like the idea. I use it elsewhere. It's a nice gesture.

I'd imagine it could only bring a more positive attitude on these forums if anything. Hard to imagine any harm could come of it.

That would probably get used more than any others.   :lol

Do we really need a way to quantify popularity?

Post count is definitely not a measurement of quality or popularity.   ;D

I think its a good idea. If anything it's more likely to make people more helpful. People generally are very helpful on the whole but I don't think it would hurt anything to add it.

I agree, besides if we end up not liking it, all we'd hafta do is pull the feature, right?
If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.
