Don’t know how it works. But sometimes I want to give thanks, but by making a new post to say thanks seems a waste of forum space. So would a thanks button take up less forum space. I acknowledge that I may be talking rubbish  ???

Taking up screen space may be an issue, not a problem with server space.

The problem I have is that in as much people may think a "thanks" button would be a good idea - I have to make it work.
A little research tells me this is not a standard SMF feature. There is a mod for it, but I have no idea of it's the same one that the LRSOC have. The other problem is that I would need to edit code and add lines in several key forum files. The chances of it going wrong and not working are high.
I would need to test this on my development forum and then see if it can be transferred across.
More than a moments work.

So, as much as we may like the idea, it may not be feasible in this version of the forum.

It’s not worth messing up a working forum for IMHO. Thanks anyway.

Personally I think the site is fine the way it is. I am not a fan of the face book type features or face book for that matter.

Considering how little use the 'Thank you' button gets on an other forum shows a lot about the manners and attitude of some of the people that ask questions. Probably best not to have one.
