Update to thanks system

[jimnyc]

I've been wanting to do this anyway...

I bought the PRO version this evening - thanks to @KarlMarx and his gracious donation.

While there are many options available, like adding like/dislike and other things... But really all I wanted out of this was the ability to UNTHANKS. Meaning, if you accidentally thank someone for a post, you can quickly fix it.

You changed something else? I swear I'm going to kick your ass. Stop screwing with sh*t just because it's there. Now I have to learn something new.

How fast can I un-thank You! Or hard-head Jar-Head Gunny?...

(not that I am gonna do either).

[Gunny]

And my kitty is giving you silent disapproval. She hates you anyway because I got her trained.

You're the man, @KarlMarx!

How about setting it up so that we can only Thank people if we also reply to the thread he's in?

So many threads die because nobody actually replies.

.

For some, a thanks is enough.

Thanks Groucho.

lets be for real here. I was teasing Jim because last I checked he is still breathing. We got thanks, rep, ignore, PM .. and what do they really matter? They're freakin; toys. PLAY with them. Like everything else, each of us use them for different reasons. I use it as a means or recognition as much as much as anything else. I have and never had anyone on ignore.

Play with the toys or don't. Jimbob likes to screw with everything he can get his hands on electronically. So let him play in little private happy land.

I've been toying with this pro version, I just enabled the "like" portion as well. So if you don't want to thank someone for a great post, and prefer to like it... for example, I post some cute pictures... thanks seems weird maybe, but you can like it!!

And with this, like the other, you can UN-like if you hit it by mistake.

The only option I see with this software is to 'require a click' from someone in a specific forum - meaning they must thank the OP in order to reply, and that would suck! I'll peek around and even shoot a message to the developer and see if that's possible what you mention.

My 2 cents, shouldn't happen. There are many times I'll thank someone because I agree or it makes me laugh. No comment from me is needed, thus I thank and move on.

Freedom of expression should include the freedom to abstain from speaking.

Outside of a staff member, can someone check out this link and tell me if they have the rights to see this or not?

Agreed. I wouldn't force folks to click. I also saw another add-on at an unmentionable place in the past - where the member starting the thread could list names, and block others from their own threads. I don't like that either.

Doug has that, I don't like it. We agree on a lot of things like this.
