Just a thought.
Very true, that's possible. Though if it's a crappy thread it won't get much thanks.

True, though opening it to all would really make the thread distracting to read, varying posts having different amounts of thanks below it.

I'm not sure that's possible though, I'll play around with the settings a bit to see what it has.

I also didn't notice the stuff below the avatar, I'm not so sure I like that either.
