    Thank you button

    Other vBulletin forums I've been on have a "thank you" button....just to say "thank you" when someone had a helpful post.

    I believe that would be a desirable feature here.

    Thanks for listening.

    Just as easy to type "Thank you".

    Unfortunately, we don't do the programming. That is Canonical's bailiwick and they have other things to busy themselves with.

    I seem to recall that the "thank you" button was used in the past, and it got removed because it was being abused. I don't know any details, though.
    BACKUPS are unsexy — until you discover you should have done one yesterday.
    Spare your nerves and do one before you upgrade or install.

    Thank you all for your replies. I just noticed a "Like" button above the thread, surely nobody would abuse that.

    I remember the "Thank You" button, and remember it getting abused.

    +1, we removed the Thank You button years ago, as some of our members were actively asking for Thank you's in each and every post.
