There have been numerous instances where I've been on MB here and wanted to thumbs up a post but instead just kind of nodded to myself and clicked back to look at a different thread.

The down side, I guess, is that there are less filler posts where all that gets said is "I know, right?" but that's not really a downside. People will still post if they have something to add, legitimately...

I don't know if you know what I'm talking about or not, but I think it's not uncommon so you might...

I'd love to see that in effect. I think it would be very useful and I don't know of any downsides...
They have that on another forum I visit and to be honest I think it has a negitive effect on the quality of the site. Because of it people try to make witty, smart-alec posts just to get a load of thumbs up instead of actually contributing something worthwhile. It's becoming a contest to see who can get the most thanks.

Again a good idea in theory but doesn't seem to work in practice.
