I've just completed the installation of an new "Thanks/Like" feature here at the club. Basically, you'll now see a "thumbs up" button underneath each post.
If it's a post that's been helpful or if you like the post etc., click the thumbs up "thanks" button and that member will receive a "thanks". These will be listed in their info box in the post area. Feel free to use this post as a test of the system. If it works, the thanks button should disappear for you.
This is a mod I paid to have designed for the board (I did the button lol) and it's the kind of thing that donations allow me to do.
Hope you find this useful.

Good idea Mitch!!
"Thanks" Mitch
Freaking sweet!!! I remember posting a facebook thumbs up pic, this is greater! Thanks mitch.
now what if you accidentally thank a post? just a thought.
I love this idea. They have this on Facebook, and it's really nice if you don't want to post, but you do agree with what someone says.
Good add, Mitch.
Sweet. I love this feature, I've seen it used in other non-car forums. It helps other users to know if it's useful topic.
Cool
I really think it's important this gets used. It gives recognition to posting members that their posts/topics:
1) are being read
2) were useful or interesting
3) made them smile in the case of some humor or off-topic posts
4) posted something they like or agree with
And the cool thing is, it's so freakin' easy to do. Just click the thumbs-up button.
Not working for me (Windows 7 Pro 32 bit and Opera 11.01)
Sorry to hear that but apparently it's not compatible with your setup. Don't know why though. Do you disable javascript?
I'm still keeping the feature. If anyone else is using Windows 7 let me know if it works. If it does, then it's an Opera 11 issue.
I'm on Windows 7, and it works for me. I use Google Chrome as my browser.
Phewwww... good.
I've tried this in Chrome, IE, Firefox and Opera 10 and it works fine, but I'm not on Windows 7.
It seems that it's most likely a setting or glitch with Opera 11. Possibly even a setting on blupupher's PC.
EDIT: Nolan, I just found out Opera 11 is a beta program. There will always be glitches in beta, it's still in testing.
This is actually a really neat feature that I think adds a lot of value. This will be particularly useful when people offer their insight into technical fixes or other technical recommendations. It will allow people to say what did or did not work for them so that when others look for the same information, it will be easier to discern the best responses.
Good job, Mitch!
im on 7 and firefox, works for me just fine.
Nolan, realistically, since you're the only one mentioning a problem, I'd have to say the system works.
I just installed Opera on Mac - and was able to thank the above post...
I'll install on my PC(win7) when I load it up sometime.
Also just noticed that you can't thank your own posts... boo!
Mitch, could you do this with other hand signals? Just kidding!
Fabulous idea man!
Anybody actually using this? And I don't mean in this topic only.
I used it about 15 minutes ago.
Give it time...it'll catch on.
oh yea, i got 10 out of know were.
Most from me.
Come on folks. I'm seeing an awful lot of good posts and very little thumbs up button pressing.
I'm using it.
Well, if it worked for me I would use it.
I have tried on 3 different computers (all running Opera 11.01) and it does not work. Not sure what it is, since I have no other issues with Java.
And sorry, I am not changing browsers for a little button.
No worries but it is interesting though that you're the only one that this doesn't work for. B)
Matter of fact... see the thank you I gave you above? I was using this...
Works for me, I'm using Firefox 4 and IE 9.
Well, I forgot I have the USB version of Opera (installs a little differently and can have issues with flash and java, had to use it at work since I can't install anything on that computer, and just copied it to all my computers).
I just installed regular Opera and it works just fine.
Nolan, glad you got the issue resolved. You're a great member and it's nice to see you can use this now.
Thanks.
So, it looks like some members are using this but most aren't. It's so easy. If you like what someone posted, just click the thumbs up ok?
Had to for that post.
So many members will write a thank you post and that's great but don't neglect the thank you thumbs up button ok?
It's easy and it makes people feel good. All with a simple button press.
Don't forget about the thumbsup / thanks button...
It's an easy way to thank someone for a helpful/funny/cool post! I've seen so many helpful posts get no thumbsup.
Plus... I'm trying to get to the 1,000 thanks mark.
