The "Thanks" button is the closest thing we can get with this software to a "like" button.
On one hand, I think it's a convenient way to show appreciation for a post without having to actually reply.
One the other hand, I don't know how it calculates the percentages of "Thanks". Some of these posts have very low Thanks ratings, but I think it works likes this: if 15 people look at the post and only 2 click Thanks, it's is a very low rating, and I think that is stupid.
But, again, it's all we've got. Is that annoying anyone or are we glad we have SOMETHING to show a convenient appreciation for each other's efforts?
