So far, I like the "thanks".

One of my favorite thing about this feature is that you can see how many times a person has said thanks to someone else... I like seeing the number of "given" thanks in addition to the number of "received" thanks.

I also like it because sometimes I ask for advice and I get several replies but I am in too much pain to reply to the advice right away and thank people for helping me....

.... by having a thanks button I can just click the button to let people know that I read their reply and I appreciate their reply -- and then when I feel better (sometimes feeling better takes a few days) I can come back and properly reply by typing.


But, I can also see the other side of the coin - where the "thanks" could become an issue.

In my opinion, new features are like taking a test drive on a car for everyone here (the administrators, moderators, and members). It's a new button, a new feature, something we can all try for a while and see how we like it and give feedback about our opinions. If people truly hate it after test driving it for a while, then I am sure that DocJohn will take that into consideration
