"Thanks" button?
Posted: Mon Aug 03, 2009 10:19 pm
I have seen this feature on a few other forums and thought it might be cool to have here.
The basic premise is that if you, as a reader, see a post you find useful or beneficial to the users here, you can "Thank" them by clicking the "Thanks" button. It can be done on a post by post basis. It gives others a chance to thank someone for a good post, without having to reply to say those thanks!
One benefit may be a small reduction in your DB growth. A click of "Thanks" doesn't require a new post, therefor cutting down on your DB over time.
I have attached a screen grab from another site to show you how it works.
Here is a link to the Mod itself, if anyone wants to check it out!
