Last night we installed the new "THANKS" module.
Now, in the bottom right corner of every post is a new button labeled THANKS.
When you click on this button, your name will be appended to the post showing the author that you approve of the post or appreciate the content.
Each time some clicks on THANKS, the author is awarded 1 rep point as well.
While this method does not convey as many points as using the scales icon, its much faster, and offers a visual representation of thread/post popularity.
When the new menu system goes online, you will also be able to search for threads based on MOST THANKS which will help you find the highest quality threads on a particular subject matter.
