Don’t know where to post this but I keep wishing that I could “thank certain posts. You know….ones that hit the nail on the head or that are particularly helpful. Have you thought about installing a “thank you” button on each post or something similar? I think something like this would add to this already wonderful place.

Thanks.

Poppyseed, thanks for the suggestion. I’m not sure if there is an option like that, but it’s a great idea. We’ll see what those who are more technologically savvy than I say.

Poppyseed,

I’m actually very interested in the topics that you enjoy/like.

I’ll look into applying some type of ratings system here.

Feel free to email me w/ links to your favorite posts.

You want me to look into possible phpBB mods that could do this? If necessary, I could program something, but we don’t want to do that.

Hi John and thank you. I am not so worried about rating topics as I am about sending gratitude easily. If someone posts something helpful, I think it might be nice to send them a nod. Of course I could just type “thank you” but I think sometimes people feel the gratitude but don’t say it or the conversation just goes on. I think a button would be a good thing if it didn’t cause anyone too much heart burn trying to program it.

Sure, Tom. Thanks!

Hope this is all right to cover another post on this one. Regarding ” The sad story of Ken Gothrick.”

OK. Stay tuned.

Cool. Thanks.

running through some old posts here… did this ever go anywhere? nice idea… sort of a “like” or “nod” “thank you” button.

I really couldn’t find any good phpBB3 mods for this idea. It has been approached, but apparently not completely solved and published.

Thanks for looking into it (and for the update), Tom!

Custom coding is really going to be beyond my abilities. If there were a ready-made and stable mod, I would be all for it. It is a cool idea.
