    Default You can now 'Thank' users for their posts.

    One of the biggest problems on forums is 'posts boosting'. While it's not really a problem here at the moment, we would like to keep it from becoming a problem in the future.

    There are users who LOVE to say 'thanks' when ever they can. How can it hurt? Their post count goes up, they have nothing to loose.


    There are also users who really like to express their thanks to post but don't like posting a post that looks like they're post boosting.

    Finally comes the posters of these useful posts. They have no idea how many people really likes their posts if only some people say 'thanks'.

    We've found a solution that fixes ALL these problems - except for those users who like post boosting. This places a button called 'Thanks' in the lower left of each comment:

    When a user clicks on it, it places his username in a box right under the post saying that so-and-so says 'thanks' for the post. Every-one who clicks is placed in one box, like so:

    Feel free to try it out!
