Positive Feedback?

On most forums, there are little icons at the bottom to allow signed-in users to "Like", "Agree", "Disagree", and so forth. The Microchip Forum has a 5-Star rating for individual posts. Even the ME-Labs PBP Forum has a "Like" button. There are some pretty insightful posts that I would like to acknowledge and give kudos to without creating a new post to the thread. Can something like this be added?

I can add such a feature.

A simple feature to let users rate posts from other members.

By providing feedback on posts members can help identify the best and worst posts in a thread allowing future visitors to easily hone in on the best information.

customisable options allow

- Yes/No or Ten Point rating scale options.
- Possibility to turn off negative ratings for a positive only system.
- The ability to decide which forums are open for helpful answer ratings.
- The ability to audit the system and identify top users and potential abusers.
- The ability to ban specific members from using the system.
- Integration with the reputation system based on post ratings.
- Integration with a user's profile to display post rating history.

I am busy right now, but i will implement this as soon as i get time

I have added the feature to some forums.

I will check in later this month to see how well its working, or not.

Thank you Lester! Let's see how it's received. Haven't gotten that far yet, but did you make a General Forum announcement?

I did not make an announcement.

I hope its pretty self evident. Red and Green thumbs :-)

I've been trying to over-use it to let the productive folks know it's there.

The green thumb does not work for me. It says I first have to register. I'm registered and signed in.

I logged into your account and used the thumbs up - green thumb - no problem
