You will note a new button by posts called "Thanks".

This is a way to recognize people for good posts where you appreciate what they said, but can't really think of anything to add.

Some might say "But we have the reputation system for that", which is true in part, however the rep system has limits. I've often seen comments like "Id rep you for that but I cant". So now, you can say "Thanks".

The system is simple. Click the "Thanks" button, and it will show that you thanked the person for that post. It will also keep track of how many times you have been thanked and given thanks.


Enjoy.

That's a really nice idea, Bob. As I'm English and therefore genetically programmed to complain about anything, good or bad, the only miniscule point I might make is that the button displaces the existing 'reply' buttons - might it be better at the left end of that line rather than the right?

Yeah—that was fast!!. It's nice when the Top Brass pay attention... it happens so rarely in RL, alas... just another one of the great things about MT, eh? :)

Hey Bob,

You set it up where we can't thank ourselves. What's that all about?

OK...it says I've been thanked twice. How do I figure out what posts those were?

I suppose I could go through every post I've ever made, starting with the first... :uhoh:

I can see myself using this feature more then the rep feature. I haven't used that very much in the past year, even before the reset. This feature seems a bit more personal and I am glad it is a positive thing that everyone can see.

Thanks Bob!

Goto your profile. You'll find a link there that will show all your thanked posts.

Very nice addition, Bob..... just tried it.

Will we soon be seeing a "No, thank you" for use in the US elections section?:EG:
