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.
Introducing The Tone Ledger, a premium 5x7 inch, 100 pg notebook designed for guitarists, bassists, keyboardists...pretty much anyone who enjoys using amps and pedals. Great for experienced musicians, hobbyists, or students just getting started.

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.
