Stan actually deserves a lot of credit for making this happen. The new board software he installed makes adding new features like these very simple.

Major props to him for letting us get our fagometer on.

If you find a user's post particularly insightful, click on the blue THANKS button on the lower right-hand of the post.

Afterwards, a little box will appear below the post, saying:

"The Following 1 Users Say Thank You to [Poster] For This Useful Post:

[Your user name]".

In addition, the poster will receive a point in their Thank(s) total, which is displayed in the info box below their avatar.

This new feature will provide users with a way to say thank you for posts they enjoyed but didn't necessarily feel a need to respond to (If I could, I'd give dencyguy, kshutchins, and WPB Dawg Fan 1,000 retroactive points for their fantasy/pick 'em/power ranking writeups).

I hope you all enjoy this new feature.

Can we change it to 'Thanks, Fag'. That might make Stan feel better.

Aw forget it now ... I was all set to install the fag-o-meter, but the D+ grade hurt my feelings.

@atenears said:

Great post Stan- A++++++

not really, but we could just do that if we really wanted to let someone know they had a great post. Hell, I have a hard enough time leaving feedback at Ebay and shit. This post is a D+ at best

That site's graphics and looks are just awesome. After registering, I had to shower, do my hair, and put on some nice clothes before feeling comfortable using the forum.

I dont want to always reply to guys like WPB, Shep, Flugel and others... but I'd like to tell them I appreciated their posts, and the same goes for anyone else here who posts something insightful or helpful.

It encourages posting, and it encourages quality posting.

But, we wouldn't want THAT, now would we?

Oh don't take it so personal. I'm kidding mostly.

No offense taken. And thanks for looking into the other stuff.

And no, I don't plan on leaving the board. We've got some excellent posters here that really know their shit. Unlike other boards, where it's obvious that every other poster is a half-brained tween.

Though the "you're a fag" crap is pretty juvenile, at least it doesn't creep into the actual football, non-QB related threads. I'm thankful for that.

@timugen said:

That shit's kinda queer.

Nothing but homos and hillshits on this board tonight.

You fag.

I suck.

Did you tell her about Mr. T, Bunker, etc.? I feel like my wife would divorce me if she knew I fraternized with such clowns.

I guess I've just fallen into the mz the pussy trap in which whatever I post provokes a nasty response from you. That's fine; I don't mind.

Hey, being 'me' around here is vastly underrated.

Besides, I think dudes like DieHard have me on whatever "Receive an Email When mz the pussy Posts So I Can Go Call Him a Fag" setting. It makes me feel special. Loved. I know, lowering the boom on the dummies, while 1) not challenging and 2) is really scraping the bottom of the barrel, can be rather cathartic after learning Ken Dorsey and Bruce Gradkowski quarterback your team etc.

I looked into the fag-o-meter, I already have an account at that site, but the download hung up. I looked into the Youtube thingie too, and think I know how to install it, but I have other concerns about it that I haven't fully researched, such as bandwidth draw, if any. Haven't seen the line-out feature that crosses out font (such as the other board had). The Adult rated emoticons that we once had (that i purchased) have a conversion problem installing here.

I've had plenty of these feminine tendancies ... so toss me a mano whammy on my fag-o-meter.

We got plenty of time to get all gay. You're not in a hurry to leave are you? You gotta few years to snap towels at one another?

so, doesn't sound like a good idea.

Besides, sounds like those who couldn't keep the political board a nice place to be,

are doing the same here on the Browns board.

Note: I haven't been around much. Was so disgusted I didn't have much to say.

Except: It's the OLINE, the new coach should be a famous All PRO offensive HOG !

My point wasn't to "bitch" about how the board's run. I just thought it was curious that Invision would set up the board's features like that. As someone's whose done some work in web design (& given a few seemingly well-received suggestions to you in PM's), I didn't think it'd be such a big deal to point something out.

I guess I've just fallen into the mz the pussy trap in which whatever I post provokes a nasty response from you. That's fine; I don't mind.

And though I appreciate your request that I "STFU" and "talk football," my impression is that I've been doing that for awhile now. Since the political board went to shit, I've been spending a lot more time on the football board.

Actually, maybe you should just keep on ignoring all of my posts. That'll work better for the both of us.

(I better call my Mom)

Atenears new avatar....

That way I can get presents from fellow posters wives and feel really cool about myself and goshdangit, think people like me.

Let's do it and see who gets the most points. Winner gets bent over at the last tailgate.

Whadya say Satn?

So, for instance, I can see that my rating went down & that Scott Player recently visited my page. Not too hard to figure out what happened.

If it isn't anonymous, doesn't that defeat the whole purpose? Instead, it'll just lead to tit for tat 1 star ratings.

Not sure it matters much (especially because 3/4 of the people on this board don't even know that the rating system exists), but it does seem like a flaw in the system.

Man, you guys are like a new wife. Bitching and complaining about shit we never even knew were out of place (yeah honey, those are really my golf clubs behind the couch. That's where I keep them. What am I supposed to do, put them in the xxxxing garage?).

I don't know what the gay stars are for, or what should be anonymous and what shouldn't. Quit playing with the xxxxing controls and talk football.

Seriously, I don't mean to be rude, but we aren't about gay features. If we had custom emoticons and shit at the original forum and it attracted you here, I'm sorry. We only installed them gay features as a joke at some point and they stayed because we were too lazy to remove them.

Again, I don't mean to be a dick, we will look into new features from time-to-time (when we are bored out of our minds), but it's the freaking middle of the xxxxing NFL season. If you need a karma fix, get a boyfriend.

Again, don't want to be a scrooge, but STFU.

Although, now I feel like we are playing World of Warcraft.
