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.
