Wink Thanks Mate! (New Feature)

One of the biggest problems on forums as you may know is 'post boosting'. There are users who LOVE to say 'thanks' whenever they can. How can it hurt? Their post count goes up, they have nothing to loose.

There are also users who really like to express their thanks to post but don't like posting a post that looks like they're post boosting.

Then comes the moderators who have to delete people's thanks you's so a thread can look readable without the thanks you's thrown around.

Finally comes the posters of these useful posts. They have no idea how many people really likes their posts if only some people say 'thanks'.

Well, this new feature fixes ALL these problems - except those users who like post boosting. This places a button called 'thanks.' When a user clicks on it, it places their username in a box right under the post saying that so-and-so says 'thanks' for the post. Every-one who clicks is placed in one box.

Finally, if someone could post a replacement image to suit our style, I will then replace it with the current image which is rather ugly. Just try to keep it within the same dimensions. I will also ask Trunks if he can make the same style as current buttons.
