    Just wondering if there's somewhere get you can see the top thanked posts of all time? Would serve as a kind of 'best of boards',

    thanks,

    It's been asked before and it's a good idea (unless your name is Terry) but sadly the feature does not exist yet. :)

    I think I'm still at the top of that list.

    One of the main reasons that these lists are not made public is to prevent thanks whoring.
    Quite a lot of people post primarily to have their post thanked and that's just lame.

    I'm sure someone could put together something for the biki though.

    yup jhegarty, like that only instead of a daily one, maybe an annual one?

    I know what you mean Terry about thanks whoring, but if there was a list of all time top thanked posts i dont think that would come into it. Like if a post really gets loads of thanks, then it's not normally just some smart comment - it's a genuinely good post. Not necessarily looking for the poster thats been thanked the most times, more the post.

    Some of posts that have been posts of the day have put me onto some great threads. Anyways just an idea :)

    Number 41?! I'm determined to get number 42, cmon Sharpshooter, up your game! Don't make me go looking for your posts and thank them to rig this thing!

    And in another experiment into the nature of thanks-whoring I am going to thank every post that has an even post-number in this thread.

    I think rocky mostly posts in humour, so presumably picks up a lot of thanks if he's particularly funny.

    He was an absolute sensation in humour for about a year, but he's gone AWOL recently.

    Rocky was indeed brilliant in the humour forum and I really hope he comes back.

    Borderfox posts mainly in photograpy and has some great shots there.

    Odd post. Yay.

    I moved above Hagar, but only because he stepped down from modding.
    Post of the day seems to be split between Poker, AH and Humour.
    By logic, those who post regularly in those forum will have a higher thank count.

    Is that because:

    a) Many mods are prolific posters and therefore are more likely to have posts thanked?
    b) A lot of mods actually are helpful and give useful advice or opinions which are more likely to be thanked?
    c) The Mod Conspiracy?
    d) All of the above?
