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?

Very good points. In response, I will do the following:

I'll move the Thanks button to the far left where it stands alone to make it more noticeable. (DONE)
I'll add a bottom guideline to the rules asking people to use the Thanks mechanism when the see posts they like or appreciate, etc. (DONE)
I'll also add a general FAQ page on this as well. (FIRST DRAFT DONE)
