A "+1" button

    OK, it's been suggested before in a number of guises. Technically, may be a PITA and it might also result in a stupid amount of buttons at the bottom.

    Basically, as it says on the tin. A button that you click to convery that you hold the same opinion or have had the same experience as that poster.

    I don't intend this as the actual suggestion, but rather the start of a discussion on it - maybe it should be in feedback? I dunno anymore :)

    You could say that it's somewhat refining the meaning behind the "thanks" button, so rather than "thanks" meaning, "I agree", instead you now have an "I agree" button and a "thank you" button.

    Maybe it's too many buttons? :D

    Examples
    1: http://omg.wthax.org/me_too.jpg
    2: http://omg.wthax.org/plus_one.jpg

    I prefer no. 1 purely because it accurately conveys what's being said. People may not know what "+1" means, or may take the context wrong.

    TBH, I think it'll be too much effort for what we already have. Everyone I think agrees that the thanx button symbolises "I agree" "That was funny" "Me too" and all that in one handy hand shaped hand button... with a thumb!!!

    Too many buttons!

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
