Thanks to all that made this happen, I'm sure this would be great for the forum!

Is it just a case of clicking thanks and thats it, or does it save it as a stat somewhere?

 

[Shaenei]

if you go to a user profile and click on the stats tab it records it their

Nick, it appears as a stat when you look under someones profile page. However Al is looking into getting it to appear under the users avatar/posts/join date etc...

Ah right cool, nice one Chris.

Great work, It would look pretty on the side

Sorted, all the code was in there, there was just a silly extra bit of code that was preventing it from being shown on this template I needed to remove!

 

[Al]

hmm...seems to have messed up the buttons at the top...back to the drawing board!

:edit: ok, so it hadn't done anything to the buttons, I'd managed to zoom out on my firefox and everything looked small

Best not thank too many people though or you'll get told off........

Best not thank everyone for no reason or you'll lose the ability to thank anyone.

If you use the function for what it's intended for (i.e. thanking people for useful information) then that's fine. You only got "told off" because you were thanking multiple posts for the sake of it.

The thanks function could be a very useful feature as you can access threads where people have been thanked via their profiles, meaning you can go straight to useful threads. If people start spamming the thanks button, it then renders it pretty useless.

Already useless, shame really.

 

[Neily03]

Would it be possible to limit 'Thanks' to the technical areas of the forum, rather than people thanking each other cos they had the same lunch?

Thats a good idea.

I will be keeping on an eye on this and issuing pm's/infractions to people who are abuse the thanks feature.

A general notification will also be posted so there's no excuse.

If people would also like to report any posts that they feel the thanks feature has been abused in then feel free. If it's policed properly then this handy feature will hopefully work and be useful.

Mods as well as admin now have the ability to delete inappropriate use of the thanks feature. If your thanks are deleted, please don't take it as a personal attack, we just want the feature to be as useful to users as possible.
