Not quite a "Like" button

I wouldn't count on that. "The Kyle" is nearly legendary here.

Also, Steve, you said it doesn't work on an "old post". How does it define "old"? Days, Weeks, Months?

Thanks!

Old is defined as 90 days or older. And really, an Aye on a post that old is somewhat pointless.

I like it!

I've also noticed that there is a "minimum post length" which seemingly prevents a mere "***" reply. I discovered this when I tried to reply "PM sent" in a For Sale thread. This would seem to force a "***" reply to include a quote of the entire post in question, which in some cases is real overkill (huge photos, etc. when the object of the "***" is a single line of text). I have no solution or suggestion for this, just exposing it to the light as it was a forum feature of which I was previously unaware, after multiple years of posting. Obviously I have never before been accused of too short a post!

Nice addition to the forum, Steve. I have been an active member at the largest affiliate marketing forum, ABestWeb, for nearly ten years and the same plugin was added a year or so ago over there. They kept it as "Thanks" and it has seen a good bit of use - for exactly the reasons that have been listed here.

I would like to thank Steve and the Mods for their consideration and excellent solution to this matter.

AYE!

***.

I like the 'aye' button. It's totally appropriate and (as David said) well-adapted to XMTS. well done, sirs.

Please use it with gusto as it is now prefered to the dreaded ''***''.

Just used it on your post Steve. Nice to see who else did it too. I will make it my personnal misson to remind people who still use the infamous ''***''.
