I think the current "Thank you" system works well amongst pros but is perhaps not easily seen by newcomers and novices.

I recently was involved in a thread where the OP spent half of his replies to me thanking me until I said not to do that, just press the Thanks button.

Perhaps the Thanks button should be more prominent (eg, a different color, flashing or something). There is plenty of instructional text on the forum about what NOT to do but I can't find much about issuing thanks when a reply is really useful.

Thanks aren't mentioned in the forum rules, a search of the general forum for Thanks yields no search result, and searching FAQ's for Thanks yields no search result.

How does a newcomer find out that the polite thing to do is to press Thanks when he/she finds the information really useful? Have I missed something?
