    I've noticed that below each post there is now an option to tag it as "Interesting". What is this, and what does it do?

    (Apologies if I've missed an announcement about this ... I only first noticed this new feature yesterday).
    I've just tagged that as 'interesting' so you should be able to see what happens!  It seems to be an alternative to thanking a post, but is potentially a solution looking for a problem....
    Interesting. You can only do one or t'other. I tried doing both but it switches off the initial selection. Thanks.

     :D 

    I think I understood from the front page quick information.
    Mostly I've seen people agree that they tick a thanks for people being kind enough to give their time and knowledge answering a question.
    I guess I may use it occasionally but a lot less so.

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

    Personally I'd rather have it as "agree" than interesting.
    Are posts now not marked as interesting, boring? :o

    Tried using it to see if it will draw attention to times when photos won't load which is frustrating.
    Sometimes posts don't.
    Thought if this button was in anyway useful for drawing attention to 'interesting' this might do it showing it being mentioned repeatedly for some time.

    If it's only for collecting posts for the blog then it really needs to only appear on the OP I'd have thought.
