Title: Thanks buttons
Post by: DillonFoulds 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!

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

I agree, besides if we end up not liking it, all we'd hafta do is pull the feature, right?
