Hello Rob, I has another suggestion that I got from another forum which I find extremely useful. The Manhattan Reefs Forum has a Reef Keeper Rating System which is similar to an EBay Feedback Rating, which allows you to rate a particular member on the forum for either advice given or more specifically transactions that occured. For instance if I arrange to purchase a Coral Frag from another member and I'm pleased with the transaction I can give that member a positive Reef Rating which increases their Reef Rating Score by +1 and if I was dissatisfied I could give a negative score which decreased their Reef Rating by -1. Also a neutral Reef Rating is available if the transaction was in the middle which does not reward nor remove your current Feedback Rating. Their is also a sections to give a quick label to their rating and a detailed description box to allow other members to view the entire details of the transaction. It is a great way to allow members the ability to gauge a particular transaction such as selling or buying Coral Frags, Used Equipment, etc. You touched on it with the Thank You system but I feel that this could take the Talkingreef Forum to a new level while promoting hobbyist interaction even more.

we have a reputation rating that is now active on the boards. just click on the yin-yang sign under the users name to leave feedback about them.

Didn't even notice that. Thank you for pointing that out.

no problem buddy.

BTW ... we also use the "thanks" button that is somewhat like what you were suggesting. it is on the lower right corner of posts from other users.

Ok, so considering im a living god that defeated the stay puff marshmallow man in an arm wrestle , why dont i display such awarded points? :huh:

On a side note, Blubber & myself should have infinite points awarded for previous time spend behind enemy lines...lol

Good grief! Only you Veriann can prevent forest fires! :rotfl: Just kidding. However I am eternally grateful of your omni-potent advice you have given me. :agree:

No points for encounters with the Borg 5 of 17.
