There have already been hundreds of "thanks" given. There's nothing wrong with posting a thank you and not using the system, FWIW.

Indeed. But I for one vastly prefer a note saying okay, that (didn't) work(ed) and can be improved even by...

Just one (even heartfelt ) thank you doesn't tell me if it is from the OP or if and how a suggestion really worked.

So, while I find a thank you good manners I value it much more coming as solid information hopefully useful for others as well.

I do not see a method of disabling this yet in the CP, any news on when this will be implemented?

The ability to disable was in reference to the proposed reputation system (No decision has been made on that yet, but if it is implemented the ability to completely opt out would be available during the initial roll out).

If there's a thumbs up button, I demand a thumbs down button.

I'd agree, it's getting rather cluttered on LQ with these little things to choose from in each thread, post, etc. I can see this icon and thumbs up being misused for it's actual intention or not being used at all, especially since it's right next to the quote button.

Can one take away a Thanks if accidentally pushed?

I am only aware of being able to suppress my own sig. for specific posts. What have I missed? I trust it's not some all-or-nothing thing in my user controls; which, BTW, I have just searched again.


While I was reviewing my user controls, I turned my attention to my own sig. block, which always comes out in a larger font than I want. Currently, I have the majority of it inside [SIZE="1"][/SIZE] tags, but it makes only a minor difference in the way it is displayed. What I want is that my sig. is in the same font & size as the member info. to the left of my post. Is there any current way to achieve this?

"Edit Options" > "Thread Display Options" > tick-box for "Show Signatures".

Not ticked, it removes all sigs, so does that offend your "all-all-nothing" dictate ?. Personally it's what I'd expect/demand it to do.

Thanks for the info. -- I missed that option earlier today. &, yes, it does unfortunately fit my idea of "all-or-nothing". -- What I would like to see is ability to on-the-fly "collapse", i.e. suppress, only those sig.s I find obnoxious. My 2 hot buttons being vertical size & in-your-face religious or political sentiments. Up 'til now I have usually dealt w/ those by putting the "offending" parties on my ignore list; unfortunately this is also an "all-or-nothing" approach that hides useful info.

I would propose to combine this with marking the thread as "solved" and change the thread title color or somewhat similar, this makes it much easier to recognize the question does no longer need attention or is useful if one has a similar problem.

yeah, that may be a good idea, it'd be nice to know quickly if a thread is solved or not

Good idea, in particular the color scheme. Seconded.

Please, don't implement that. It is not useful at all. I saw it on other forums and never realized what it is good for.
For the "thumb up" feature: thanks. I think it is the best way to say thanks to somebody.
I read that some members here don't like it, so I have a suggestion here: Why not to add a check box like this to the user CP: "don't show user acknowledges in forums" This would auto-collapse all "thanks" sections of all posts for the user.
