Thanks Button

Post by AustHaflinger »

Is it possible to put a Thanks button attached to posts. Instead of putting up a new post saying just "thanks" you would hit the button and at the bottom of the post appears a "Thanks" line with those people have hit the thanks button.

Cheers

Various other forums have a "Thanks" button, but all they do is show as a number of "Thanks" that you have given and as a number of "Thanks" you have received.

Is that what you mean. I believe it is just a option the site owner and enable or disable in their control panel.

Have you hit the "DONATE" button at the bottom of the page after reading this post? Many thanks if you have!!

Not quite - on some forums when you hit the thanks button on a post the name of the person who did the thanking appears at the bottom of the post so the poster and others can see who has thanked the poster. Some forums also keep as tally as you suggested but to me this id less important.

I am fully supportive of people posting a thanks post to a post but often all that is needed is a simple acknowledge of the post so lowering unnecessary posts and resources on the forum.

Cheers
