I don't know if anyone else thinks it's a good idea that Scope should have a "thank you button" so that when someone is helpful you can click on the "thanks" ?
It seems a shame that some very helpful people on here don't get the recognition they deserve for the effort they put in and being thanked might encourage those who help others.

@woodbine - this sounds like a good idea, but might be similar to the 'like/awesome/insightful' buttons Scope already has. Like yourself, I spend some time here on Scope, & often write a reply having done quite a bit of research, often trying to find both helpful & appropriate websites....of course the OP is not to know that.I find that some members get an awful lot of 'likes,' etc., but haven't said much, but there's no way of quantifying how much help some give on Scope however. If someone just says, 'thank you,' that in itself means a lot to me....even if they don't 'like' my post. Would they necessarily click on a 'thank you' button for others who give the most helpful advice here, I don't know?

Thanks for your suggestion @woodbine You are right, a lot of forums do have a thank you button and it's a nice way of acknowledging other members often thoughtful responses.
I'll feed this back to the team and we will get back to you about it

Thanks for this @woodbine, definitely something to think about!
Scope -
Must admit, I don't like being thanked at all, online or offline, just find it really awkward and uncomfortable... Very British problems, eh!
It does seem to be a staple of other forums though so I'd guess the majority do like it! -
Good suggestion there I must admit I dont very often use the like awesome buttons no reason why not just forget they are there. I also dont look how many likes I have either.
Agree saying thanks is a nice acknowledgement we have helped someone
