Suggestion: A Thank Button

In my browsing of the forum, I have often times found a post very insightful. When I am on some other forums I visit and this occurs there is actually a thank button we can hit and then within the insightful post it will say for example:
"reader a, reader b ....thanks poster for this post".
I think this may be a useful tool as currently the only way to acknowledge these posts is with

and a subsequent post. To me this can take attention away from the good post and often times adds number of unnecessary pages to a topic.
Thats just my two cents, what does everyone else think?

That's a great idea and I'll see if there's a mod I can add.

Some forums have "rep" points that can be awarded. Should be similar. I like the idea.

So that all facets of politeness should be observed:
I propose that the "Thank you" button should be paired with a "You're welcome" button.
As the King used to say "Thank you. Thank you verra much".
I'll be here all week. Please tip your waitresses. :-)

Good Point! I think that would work nicely.
Chas, thanks for jumping on this so quickly. :-)

for a good laugh to break up a slightly boring day.
<cleverly stealing USA1's link - do I need to do a Thank You smiley for that, too?>

I agree, but would only want to see positive feedback allowed. . . no negative rep points / "red" feedback. That's been the downfall of too many online communities I've seen.

I always said that you were ahead of your time.

I agree it would be nice to have a thank option.
