Will you also re-install the "Thanks" button?

Hi Gary,
Again, the "thanks/like" functionality was provided by a 3rd-party plugin.
The forum software already has a very similar function: "Reputation". Under each post, you can click on "Rate", and then you'll be able to explain why you liked that particular post.
Having done that, everyone can see what you've written, and everyone can follow a link to the post in question. Simply click on the number (in green) next to "Reputation" to see the details. It's simple, but it works well.
Compared to that, the previous "Like" facility didn't seem to provide a way to find out who had "liked" you, and for what. As far as I could tell, it didn't add anything at all to the existing "Reputation" facility - in fact it was worse, because it was impersonal, and it seemed to discouraged people from using the Reputation function. Therefore I have no plans to investigate a replacement.
In short, if you wish to "thank" someone, please use the "Reputation" button

All the best,
Mark
