    Greetings,

    So Ive added something new to the postbit which essentially allows you to thank a user for their insightful post. Why? There are two reasons I like this.
    1. Its easier, you can simply click the [​IMG] button and it will thank the user for their post. Its courteous and respectful.
    2. You no longer will clutter up threads with posts that only say "TY!" on them, thereby keeping the valuable first page real estate available for additional insightful replies.

    No you know, and knowing is half the battle.

    Is there someway you could tie it in to the Google ads?
    That way everytime someone said 'Thanks' or 'F U' (great idea Moose) it'd be getting you come
    clicks over there.

    Ill be updating the rest of them once this semester is over.

    And with the google ads idea, I'm fairly certain they'd kill my account :D

    You know, if we added 'ftw' as a button we could cut the post count in half.

    I think all of these thanks clutter up the threads. I say we implement a reps system like IA but only allow positive reps to those that contribute most to the community.

    Well it defeats the purpose of a public thanks. This is still the test so who knows.
