What is the purpose and/or significance of “thanks” on posts? Is it like “like” on FB?

I just happened to notice the other day that I had 79 thanks. Today it’s down to 76.

I have apparently been un-thanked. Oh, the humanity!

I believe it is to show appreciation for the post or posts that you make. Typically indicating "general agreement" with what you say. Or to let you know there are others reading that have the same opinion.

I'm not certain, but losing some "thanks" could mean that some posters removed their thanks, or that the thread was removed by the moderator.

I gave the OP one also. And, I won't remove mine if you don't remove yours.

You guys make me laugh most of the time.

I’ve heard that proper netiquette says I should thank all the thankers, but I’ve never been proper. ������

There's an "unthank " button? Is it hidden?

If you have thanked someone, click on the "+".
You will see all the thankers & an unthank button.

It's not an unthank button. But, when you have added a thanks, there is an option to "remove your thanks".
