As I mentioned, I saw it added as a button on an different board and the purpose was to save the endless re-quoting of a post just to say that you agreed with it or liked it.
You just clicked the thanks.
We should give it a go, see how it pans out

I voted no because I think it cheapens the whole aspect. If someone genuinely wants to thank a fellow poster for something then it is quite easy to type it in. The risk will be that it becomes a tool for mutual back slapping! (You've no need to thank me for this)

No offense taken Migs, I was trying but obviously failed to be ironic ! The whole thing reminds me of the star collections the menial workers in mcdonalds have been made to display over the years. In the spirit of 'it's better to give than receive' I'm in the process of thanking all the posters I can

You'll need to change your name to Aarvark, Mike!

Bare in mind the question is not if the "thanks" system will be kept, just how it is shown; as it is now or a thank count under the member info in each post.

I've found using the current system very useful for marking photos I like in the photos thread. It's quick and easy and let's people know if you like the pic or not.
On the other hand, having the names show could be a bit "we're all pals together" -ish but then in reality people do group together in little clicques so this just shows who they are.
