    When you are thanked and the name of the thankee appears under your posts, wouldnt it be better if you could click on the names and it took you to the post the person was thanked for instead of their profile?

    If it were possible to do this then i think this would better. If we then saw a load of thanks under someones name we could immiadiatly see what words of wisdom prompted all the gratitude.

    Em... the thanks appear under the post you were thanked for. You're already looking at it.

    Quick links (located at the top of the page)> My Profile. Just below the "find all posts by this user" you'll see two options "Find all thanked post by " and "Find all posts thanked by ".

    Scavenging for thanks eh? Those are mine.

    What he said.

    Nice idea, but it does interrupt the thread a bit.
    Maybe an icon to say that the poster had been thanked for the post would be more pleasing on the eyes.

    Font size should be directly linked to thanks. e.g. If I am thanked 10 times for this post, the font size will be increased 10pts. :rolleyes:

    I like it. Everything is open to abuse if people are determined enough. Give it a chance at least.
    Thanks.

    This has a limit to the amount of times you can use it a day. It can be removed from forums quite easily so if it gets abused on a forum it can be removed. It can be disabled for users so if a user abuses it (and it should be quite easy to see who is abusing it), it can be removed. This should limit the abuse somewhat.

    You're all thanked out, there is a daily limit.

    Your thank tank is empty :)

    WE DONT WANT THIS

    TURN THANKS OFF

    I'd prefer nothing.

    We got along fine without it and it doesn't actually add anything to the site.

    Meh, it all still sucks more than a pornstar in a gobstopper factory.

    How bout nothing? Once you try put on reason on spending hours online . . . .
    PSI: Las Vegas wrote: »
    I'm resisting the temptation to google that.

    Oh I was just discussing the possible arguements about it.

    My point of view is that it is ugly and annoying when browsin threads.

    Also, the button is in a bad place.

    Adding things with no function for the sake of it is stupid.
    Cuddlesworth wrote: »
    Agreed



    A point for discussion.



    It has a function, it rewards helpful posters in forums. Problem is, most of the helpful posters were there without the need for a reward system.

    So why was it implemented?

    Change confuses and upsets me. Especially largely useless changes that put an annoying little bar under posts.

    Makes everything look ugly and just promotes silliness and popularity contests.

    Likewise.

    Please get rid of this off my user settings asap, it's really pointless and will only be abused.

    B. That there's an option to turn off thanks just like you can turn off sigs :)

    kickoutthejams wrote: »
    I'm not a fan of it.

    Just seems unecessary IMHO.

    Also could cause a popularity contest.

    He also tried to give me a legitimate thanks on AH for digging up a particular person's photo shoot in FHM but it's turned off in that forum. :(

    It's thankless work I tell ya.

    Well, I just got to resolve that little problem :)

    Consider yourself thanked good and hard.

    I think we should give it a chance.
