Can we have a No Thanks button for heaping derision upon crappy posts? :P

Vain, my curiosity is getting the better of me...

I don't need to know who sends a "goodpost" thanks my way, but it would be nice to know which post is receiving the recognition. Am I overlooking a way of seeing that?

Just reposting something that I posted in the Think Tank thread...
I've seen the whole "Thanks" thing work in other forums where it makes a list at the bottom of each post for the number of thanks that post got, and who thanked it. Maybe if we could get a system like that, it would be more useful. I kinda agree with those who have said that right now, the thanks by themselves are a little pointless. You can't figure out *why* you were thanked.-jay
But yeah, I agree with those who say that more information on these "Thanks" is needed for it to be worth while.

Or at the very least, give us a "No Thanks" button! :biggrin: (I like that idea...hehe.)

Thanks Jay.

I don't frequent the 'tank anymore unless asked to check out a specific thread, and even then do I rarely go in, so I never saw that post. I am glad to hear I'm not the only one who has wondered.

But, I seldom go back and read old posts of mine. It would still be frustrating to track a "good post" down, wouldn't it?

So now you can tell who thanked who, my request is a way from my profile to go to the posts where I've been thanked, to find them easily. Would also be nice to do that for other members, as I may want to see what they've said that others have bothered to thank.
