Mods, I got another idea, I know I am on a roll today. You should have something called reps. where when someone helps you out you rep him. So people are encouraged to help others out because they will get repped! What do you say? A lot of forums have that feature!

I installed a modification called "Thank You's" which I believe is something similar. If someone posts some good info, you can click on "Thank You" on the top right of the post. If you can find me a mod for reps, I'll consider installing it.

Hmmm. Good point. When I'm logged in I see the Thank You button so I always assumed it worked but when I log in as a regular user I don't see it.

"Thank You" for pointing that out :)  I'll have to look into it.

Ok, this specific conversation about Thank You's will be continued here:

Please don't discuss it anymore on this thread.

Eli, are you going to end up doing what I suggested about moving the credit card profiles to the forum and categorizing them?

I don't think any of the mods did that yet, I suggested it earlier that they do that, it makes it better for the forum readers.

What do you mean by changing a url to a single word link? Are you talking about a hyperlink?

You can say Thank You to a post by clicking the red star above each post. I don't like it but it will do for now.

The url thing is something like this but I'm not 100% sure. You can google it.

[url:http://www.dansdeals.com]Dans Deals[/url]

Edit: See post below. It's actually [url= instead of [url:

Eli, should I look into that reps thing. The kudos thing is a bit cheesy, sorry.

The thank you button is kind of the rating for the post. Or something along those lines.

As of now, there is no "rating", but hopefully our dear mods will figure something out shortly.

I have faith. That's all it takes.

Eli, it would be easier to read if you would correct your original post instead of reposting...

WOW Dan! I'm impressed! We finally did it! We created a successful forum!
This Forum is now so big that I can no longer read every post!
"597 Posts in 52 Topics by 76 Members" is pretty impressive for just a few days. Can you take off that Discussion post now and replace it with a link here?
