Bring back the Thanks button please,

I think threads will get un necessarily long with people posting thanks along with quotes 
It seems a bit childish when all the other forums have them (or the ones I've looked at) and DT doesn't
Oh  and bring back the smileys , they are emoticons , to express emotions in pictures .

    Some forums have a thanks button. I am struggling with the quotes, and can not find any posts I have made?

  • Thanks for that post!
    Maybe if we bombard the threads with "thanks" posts, the button wil reappear?  ;)

    I agree, the lack of a thanks button makes me feel I'm ignoring people :'( I read on a thread that it was because it was suggested by someone to do away with it on the feedback. Well, there are lots of "someones" asking for it back!  :/

    If they want to avoid the controversy in Discussion Time over the use of "Thanks", remove identification. It is the latter aspect that causes issues, with people getting targeted for thanking a particular post.

    They are treating us like kids. so what if it does cause controversy? Can't beat a good controversy :#  I've said it before, if you (general) cannot take it, then stay off boards like DT.
