The Thanks button is great...

Only I like to actually see what someone thinks, besides the gratefulness.

You can do either... one long post or a post to each person who has answered.

I think the more active a forum the more interesting it is. So I like posts to individuals. But that's me.

I really think that the Thanks button helps the moderators the most, since they can use it and the poster doesn't feel totally ignored.

But on many things, I think the beauty of these forums is that you can get so many perspectives, and so much support.

Sometimes the least little post will be the one with the puzzle piece I'd been missing, so I think encouraging more posts is better.
