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.

squid_unix_group

squid_unix_group(8)					      System Manager's Manual					       squid_unix_group(8)

NAME

       squid_unix_group - Squid UNIX Group external_acl helper

SYNOPSIS

       squid_unix_group [-g groupname] [-g groupname...] [-p] [-s]

DESCRIPTION

       This helper allows Squid to base access controls on users memberships in UNIX groups.

       -g groupname
	      Specifies a group name to match.

       -p     Also match the users primary group from /etc/passwd

       -s     Strip NT domain name component from user names (/ or  separated)

EXAMPLES

       This squid.conf example defines two Squid acls. usergroup1 matches users in group1, and usergroup2 matches users in group2 or group3

	      external_acl_type unix_group %LOGIN /usr/local/squid/libexec/squid_unix_group -p

	      acl usergroup1 external unix_group group1

	      acl usergroup2 external unix_group group2 group3

NOTES

       By  default  up to 11 groups can be matched in one acl (including commandline specified groups). This limit is defined by MAX_GROUPS in the
       source code.

KNOWN ISSUES

       Does not understand gid aliased groups sometimes used to work around groups size limitations. If you are using gid aliased groups then  you
       must specify each alias by name.
