    [​IMG] Whenever you get thanked for your post(s) now, you'll get a notice about it in the top-right notification area, like when you receive a new PM.

    You can also view your recently received thanks here: http://www.sorcerers.net/forums/recent_thanks.php

    In preperation for our eventual move to XenForo, I'll also be converting our "thanks" system into a "like" system, which is what XenForo uses. Essentially, I'll just be renaming all instances of the "thanks" phrases into "likes".

    This will change the meaning somewhat, but not essentially, if you think about it. It will open up the use more since you won't necessary need to consider a post worthy of "thanking for", just likeable.

    And honestly, this is how it's used most of the time as it is, right?

    (Someone thank me for this post so I can make sure it's working.)

    OK, pretty much done, I just need to change the thanks button to make it a "like" button. Any feedback?

    looks great... I actually like it better cause it means more now, at least IMO.

    I need a few more testers... please "like" any of my posts, in this thread or anywhere else.

    Thanks guys, everything works now.

    Edit: ah, I see I still need to fix the text on the like box to work with the light style.

    If you notice any other such issues, let me know!

    I am not sure if it is me or what :confused: but I have noticed that sometimes the "like" button is there and other times it is not? Has anything happened to change this? or is anyone else experiencing this?

    Hmm, Dice has reported seeing that too but I haven't so far... refreshing the page should help though. Let me know if it does when you see it again?
