What is "Thanks?"

[Andy M.]

I just gave you thanks using the new system. What do you see?

[vitauta]

can we use these "thanks" willy-nilly, as many times as we wish?

[Andy M.]

I don't know. Just keep using it until you can't.

[pacanis]

Oh geez... how did I miss that, lol.

On other forums it magically appears within the text box when your mouse passes over it. And actually says "Like".

[Andy M.]

Yeah, I've seen the like button elsewhere too.

But is the Thanks I gave you showing up in User CP or somewhere?

No info on how this works yet.

I hit you Andy, did you see it?

[Andy M.]

Yes, it shows up just like karma. I now have one point. Not sure how this differs from karma except I lost over 12 million points.

[Alix]

I had somewhere around that much too. I miss the comments more though.

What the heck is "thanks?" and who thought that was better than Karma? also, why did all the Karma we've accrued just disappear like so much dust?

You're asking the wrong person. I would like to hear the answers as well.
