they're in the "more smilies" box on the left hand side of the reply box

@ crackerclicker

Thank you crackerclicker, but I am aware of the extra smilies.  :)

I moved it over here so it doesn’t mess with James compression post.

Some forums have a button to thank the poster without filling up the thread with just smilies and thank you.

"The Following Users Say Thank You For This Useful Post: "
A button underneath a post, sort of like a +1, but more touchy-feely if you will. Typically they show the names of the users who "thank" them.

It would be nice to give thanks to those who helped solve or fix problems or answer to important issues/question. That might help motivate users to respond so that they can get some recognition.

Happy New Year.  :)

That would be a nice addition.  I mentioned it to the YaBB development team.

Daniel, Tom and crackerclicker:

I think that is an excellent idea.  I already have both 'tags' and a similar 'like' features in mind for one of our next two versions of YaBB (past the one already in testing - 2.5.4), however neither is quite the same as a 'Thanks' button.  And I have seen them on other forums...

Good Idea!

OK? - and I 'like' it too - [smiley=thumbsup2.gif]

Great.  :)

I’m not a Facebook user, but I guess that “likes” is just a number counting up.

I would like it to be with the forum names, so that you can see who thanked you.  :)
