Suggestions are always welcome, :thumbsup:

but in this case I believe it will just become a popularity contest with people liking their friends posts regardless of the usefulness.

I think plenty of people would use it, but I'm not sure the point of having this function.

A follow on effect may be reduction in number of posts (which may or may not be a good thing depending on how you view it).

I've seen it on other forums and it served no real purpose apart from popularity contest

At the end of the day, a lot of information that is posted is quite often (in some way shape or form) in one of the stickies. Sometimes it just needs the information bent a little bit to fit that particular persons needs.

If any information is particularly important and new/relevant it will probably find itself stickied.

(My personal opinion anyways)

I like the idea of a "Thanks" button if it could be implemented. I guess till we get an active committee it is hard to make changes.

I dont see how "thanking" some 1 for a post or answer is a popularity contest though.....

Actually I like the positive or negitive button.
If you agree you hit positive or if you disagree you hit negitive and then show a number off to the side. negitive for disagree and positive for agree.

So a way it could be used is, 2 people offer 2 different options to a solution. Instead of having people put :withyou:

you could just click on the option you would perfer.
It may make it easier for someone to make a decision if they unsure of which way to go.
