I don’t know what that “thanks” thing is, but I don’t like it
I don’t know what it is — but I don’t like it.
What is that thing that has appeared underneath our join date and number of posts? Why would we need or want a “thanks” calculator? Geez. I just don’t get it. It looks to me like some form of pathetic popularity contest that will soon devolve into an “Us vs. Them” and I do not think it bodes well for forum participation. You’re welcome. |

Fits in right along with my need to measure passing clouds!!!! Maybe the creator/perpetrator had the foresight to have programmed an opt out option!!!! |

I don't think it is anything but someone pushing the wrong button.
Someone screwed up something. I don't see any "opportunity to rate threads" anywhere Bucco. Show us.

Y'all are stuck in the 1970's. Get with the times. MOST fora around the internetwebz have reputation points, or up/down voting. This particular forum now has the rep version. You can't downvote. You can only upvote. So if someone is typically incredibly helpful most of the time, NEW users will know to look for nuggets of wisdom and help from these members. Other members might also be very useful, but "these members" are actually known for it.
It also shows that this member is appreciative of other members, because it includes the number of thanks they have given, in addition to the number of thanks they have received. I'm so accustomed to this inclusion, that I was actually surprised when I first came here and saw that it wasn't included. It feels weird to not be able to "rep" someone for an especially helpful post. |

I find it insidious and childish, but if you guys are used to it, I can live with it.
