The thank feature is great, but on the other hand it's just another number in your profile.
Are there any plans to link the has thanked/have thanks numbers to anything else, like a rank or maybe a feature you can buy with these points? I've once been on a forum where users could earn coins, and use these to buy items for a virtual inventory.
I assume the thank feature isn't self-written custom code but rather a feature or plugin from the forum software? So I don't know how easy it is to expand.
Just an idea
Do something with "thank" points?
Re: Do something with "thank" points?
I had a similar idea. Really.
Hadn't it been for the site downtime when the hosting company failed to upgrade the server in a timely manner, I would probably have it done already...
That's roughly the idea - to buy extra permissions, ranks or badges for the points.
I know most of us would post regardless of any possible thanks or advantages anyway, but why not have some nice way of using the thing?

and my observation is that we have a lot more news-posters after you've introduced 'thumb-up' feature. not that I mind it, that's what it was supposed to domahon wrote:I know most of us would post regardless of any possible thanks or advantages anyway, but why not have some nice way of using the thing?

I love doing news postsNameless wrote:and my observation is that we have a lot more news-posters after you've introduced 'thumb-up' feature. not that I mind it, that's what it was supposed to domahon wrote:I know most of us would post regardless of any possible thanks or advantages anyway, but why not have some nice way of using the thing?
It was only after my first few posts that I noticed I got some thank points
Re: Do something with "thank" points?
yeah, bringing news to the site earns gratitude pretty quickly. but isn't it how it should work?

If you implement a cool feature for the thank points I'll give you 100 thanks
Re: Do something with "thank" points?
No, you won't
Re: Do something with "thank" points?
Depends on how cool your idea is, Mahon.

Re: Do something with "thank" points?
I have a good idea, but need time to add it. I am working on other features now

Maybe now that we got a medal system it could be implemented
