TOTM...

A thanks or like button would be interesting. If applied, I just hope it dont get out of hand. Kinda like another forum about saws that I dont visit anymore that had "rep".

IMO, it got too out of hand and people were "begging" for it. And others would get offensive if they offered good advise and didnt get any "rep" for it.

But that site also had more sour grapes than here.

"Thanks" is too dated...my preference would be to use "Like" such as Facebook makes possible.

Many times I have posted a fix for something I devised for my use here or a solution that has worked for me just to pass my information along to other members, like my method for outwitting the spill-proof spouts. Would be nice to learn how many members "liked" my solutions or fixes.

Here we could also use "Like" to show we admire someone's photo or that we approved of their post without typing in :thumbsup:

I Like "like"

"Thanks" is too dated.

There are some things I never thought I would ever live to see, this is one of them.

Maybe we can make it a "high five and chest bump" button instead.

I'd be interested to follow the lawsuit which would result in using the trademarked "like" button text.

The original suggestion was made because there is already a "thanks" add-in for vbulletin which is free.

Thanks is outdated ? I shall have to remember when somebody does something for me next to say "Like!" to them rather than "Thanks!".

If there was a "like" button I would not use it, as I don't want to "like" something, I want to thank the person for posting it.
