Why are you guys trying to fix something which isn't broken.
Having a 'Like' button is just daft
If you search through the forums, say over the past week, the majority of thanks that are given out aren't required. It's not for myself/you/everyone to comment on as it's personal choice for the member to say thanks or not.
I do agree with MickeyLittle, if I had a suggestion about something, which I was pretty 99% sure would work and acosmichippo (example) came out with something else, the person wanting help, would ditch
me and go to them. But thats just how it is, it can get frustrating, but as Naps (Kevin) said, this is only a forum- treat it as one.
I wonder if it's possible to have Reputation in addition to thanks? Have you see other vBulliten forums with Reputation instead of thanks? Of course it ends up getting used much in the say way as thanks do here. (i.e. if a post is merely amusing...)
I think having a "like" would fix that, but I don't know how you would go about implementing that into the forum.
