Here is one thing that might be useful.
(Apologies for typos etc...)

The 'Thanks' button could be open to the public and not to the logged in members only.
There is many a time where I have searched for something and would love just to give a thanks or an upvote because it was just what I was looking for.
It doesn't need to be hidden until logged in after all it is just a counter and you get the word 'Guest' appear on your post, whether the post is locked or not, to acknowledge the fact.

On the front page you could mention:
"If you have found a solution to your query please press the 'Thanks', <icon_here>, button on the relevant post(s)."

As it stands the UNIX pages are fast loading, nothing infuriates me more than a large page taking all day to load. I have no problem with bringing the code up to current standards but if it slows down the user experience then it is not necessarily a good move.

glutTabletButtonFunc(3GLUT)					       GLUT					       glutTabletButtonFunc(3GLUT)

NAME
glutTabletButtonFunc - sets the special keyboard callback for the current window. SYNTAX
#include <GLUT/glut.h> void glutTabletButtonFunc(void (*func)(int button, int state, int x, int y)); ARGUMENTS
func The new tablet button callback function. DESCRIPTION
glutTabletButtonFunc sets the tablet button callback for the current window. The tablet button callback for a window is called when the window has tablet input focus (normally, when the mouse is in the window) and the user generates tablet button presses. The button parame- ter will be the button number (starting at one). The number of available tablet buttons can be determined with glutDe- viceGet(GLUT_NUM_TABLET_BUTTONS). The state is either GLUT_UP or GLUT_DOWN indicating whether the callback was due to a release or press respectively. The x and y callback parameters indicate the window relative coordinates when the tablet button state changed. Registering a tablet button callback when a tablet device is not available is ineffectual and not an error. In this case, no tablet button callbacks will be generated. Passing NULL to glutTabletButtonFunc disables the generation of tablet button callbacks. When a new window is created, no tablet button callback is initially registered. SEE ALSO
