What happened to the "thanks" button?

[Gill Envy]

I'm wondering what happened to the thanks Button and the tally. I think it's valuable for folks to be able to say if they have found a post helpful and conversely, I think it helps give a little incentive for folks make actual valuable contributions rather than total BS posts.

if it's gone for good, what's the rational behind the decision?

thanks,
George

It has gone away like the horse collar BC and has been replaced with the BP&W aka: the Like button.

It was removed because it's not compatible with the new version of vbulletin that the board is scheduled to be upgraded to soon. The "like" feature is supported in the newer versions and is replacing the thanks button.

There are several threads in site support about the changes and upcoming transition

All we need is like.

The only UNlike thing about progress is that all the "thanks" for some really awesome posts will not be converted to "like". :sad:

Like is good, share is better.

So, like, I wanted to, like say, like, 'thanks' to a post, but, like, all I can, like do is, like, 'like' it.
I like, feel like some pimply faced, like, Facebook nerd. Like.

thanks for the response.

I "liked" it better the way it was, but not a biggy.

I am getting a niggly little feeling that everything on the net is on the verge of getting assimilated by FB... god help anyone who gets tired of the monotony of FB flavored everything.
