    If you notice any problems, post them in this thread if you would!

    Makes it a lot easier to track problems, etc.

    Is this a vbulletin plugin, or something specifically developed by Boards.ie? It's nice :)

    I remember they used to have a reputation system here. It didn't really work unfortunately. It was more based on who you like rather than the quality of posts. Also I think the ability to neg rep can cause a bit of bullying...

    It does look a bit weird alright, but maybe we just need to get used to it?

    It's a vbulletin plugin, I fiddled around with it a bit to make it look nicer, but that's all :)

    Yeah, that's kinda the logic behind it, it's only positive. If people abuse it we can disable their ability to use the feature anyway ;)

    i've seen this on a forum for helping solve computer problems, basically if someone posted a reply that solved your problem, you then thanked them. It was a good indication of who knew their stuff.
    It worked there, but cant see a need for it in most of boards.ie, especially with the amount of traffic here.

    lol I can see a request for a "Thanks" forum and a double in the rate of traffic to Feedback due to this.
    All we need now is a colourful, graphical representation of thanks stats acquired and the circle will be complete...

    Thanks should be reserved for:
    1) Pictures that give me arousal.
    2) Somebody that fixes my PC.
    3) Desf.

    remove your thanks will you!

    Thats a bit harsh. It's a mod conspiracy. Or an inter mod conspiracy
