Guest RonMexico82 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Just wondering is it possible to get a thanks button on here. I have seen it on other forums and it is a great feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tater Totts Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Would imagine it would go one of two ways.Either be abused by people saying thanks to everything like the "Like" button on facebook.Or it wouldnt get used atall.Shall see though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are far more posts on the forum that don't require a thanks though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 That would be just like the one feature that was on the new update for the forum.I'm not sure if Ron was here for that though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RonMexico82 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Here is an example of what I am on about. This post got post of the day over at boards.iehttp://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=63444353&postcount=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madison Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Sorry, but I don't think it would be appropriate for this forum.A forum is for discussion and debate. If you like a post, then make a post expressing how and why you like it. But just making a "thank you" post would defeat the whole purpose of a forum.And especially on this forum - I could see this being used pointlessly after virtually every post - similar to the facepalm smiley, which we deleted.

Guest Satanisk_Slakt Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Your really fits well with your avatar Madison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Satanisk_Slakt Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I think the would fit in nicely with my signature. That's a good reason to give it to me for free, don't you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsguy Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 A thank you button is great for forums that are for downloads etc, this is not one of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eRomano Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 RonMexico82, you are certainly welcome to use this "Thank you" button: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I am wrong here but I think you have a different idea to what I am actually talking about. Thanks in no way defeats the purpose of a forum. The other forum that I use is far far bigger tham mygnrforum so clearly it has not had any bad effect there. Also it is a discussion forum too, not a download forum or anything like that. Here is a GNR thread on there where the "thanks" button has been used. http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055767661 Anyway hope that makes it clear what I am on about. Oh and admin I intend to renew my supporter status but I am broke Nice plug though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
