I prefer Thank ...
But If you will change it to Like anytime remember UnLike too.

In my views, they both serve a similar objective- with the only difference being a different form of appreciation.

In terms of the name Itself, I prefer the latter being "Like".

I like the thanks button. It is more like an achievement than a the like button would be. Some of the people (including me) spammed the like button pretty often. Maybe now it will have more value.

I agree, it makes more sense. However, it's also used in social media a lot.

I'm open to either, but I'd probably vote for Like.

Thank would be more forum oriented and could have a sense of promoting helpful comments, whereas like would be more individual tastes catered and could possibly have a sense of promoting low quality comments.

As far as I'm aware, there isn't a way to do that. However, I would recommend making a suggestion thread for it. Maybe Oni can implement it.

Ah, there we go! Thank you! I've never needed it and never knew it was there! xD

That's a pretty good point actually. Like is easier but also lazier.

Look at that. You can actually be useful sometimes.

Very unlike yourself where the rate of helping others is 0%. :-(
