I agree....having a simple per-thread vote up/down is fine for certain kinds of forums, of course.

You can also implement a vote up/down mechanism within each thread so that the most helpful responses bubble to the top. The downside is that it can break thread continuity, but surprisingly not as badly as you'd expect - the conversational stuff remains unvoted (and is listed sequentially as normal), but the informative answers get boosted to page 1|2|3

Reggie - I'm impressed.
LOL. A lot of members have better ratio. You should see Quim's.

Only members with I think more than 10 posts can see/use it. Also, obviously, you can't thank yourself. Thanks! is also disabled in Off-topic.

Ah....well, que sera. I'm sure it wouldn't be too mathematically troublesome to account for that

Deservedly so...although I do wonder about the 'suck up' factor

Thanks! is also disabled in Off-topic.
OK....I wasn't really paying attention to where the post was. That must be it.

Sometimes does not show even where it should. Refresh and its fixed.
