Introducing the Thanks button

[Greg Bernhardt]

Introducing the "Thanks" button!

We are introducing the "Praise Button"! You'll find it next to "Report" for each post. This is a way to reward members who posted something you appreciate. It is a combination of "Like" and "Thank you".

Member's praise record is located publicly in their member pages via the praise tab. Your personal praise counter is at the top right of every page near your PM message link.

Show the love and start praising members! :)* has since been renamed to "Thanks" button

Hmm I don't see the "praise tab". I've looked up in 3 member's profiles, I don't see it.

no. :)

Actually I see the number of praises (0 in my case) when I choose to view my profile as everyone else, under the "infractions" tab. I've taken a screenshot. Pretty strange :P

Edit: Now that you've given me 1, I see the tab. Thanks it works. But under the infraction tab, I still see 0 praise(s). o_0

Not on PF :)

 

[krash661]

yeah, i change my comment when i realized what it sounded like,
sorry about that.

If it's meant to represent something between "like" and "thanks," I think "praise" is too positive a term. I've actually read very few posts in my time here that I'd feel deserve praise, while I read posts I like every day, and posts I might feel gratitude for fairly often.

I don't know if others are balking at "praise" -ing things they merely like, as I am, but it could be the button would be hit more often if it were downgraded to "applause" or "appreciation," or something less suggestive of religious awe and rapture.

I went by this definition I found.

'Express warm approval or admiration of"

Also "appreciation" doesn't fit as a button in that space.

So that is what we are going off of. If you find a post where you feel warm approval. Praise them. Forget any other connotations of the word. I'd hate to see you not give praise because you are caught up on the strict meaning of the word.

Check your praises. :tongue: When you hover over the button, it does say it's just a "thanks or like".

Oooh, when you push on the praise button on your own post, it tells you how many praises you have. I've been praised! <sniff> I'm feeling the love. :!)

 

[DennisN]

wheres my praise :[

Here you go!

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

To help combat spamming we've set the praise button to show only if you have 5 or more posts.

 

[arildno]

I'm relieved that I, as yet, am not the target of the vilification button.

 

[lugita15]

Is it possible to find out how many praises a post gets? Even if you don't want to make it public information, could you at least make the user himself able to see what posts got praise and how much praise?

Did Evo answer this question in post #30?
