Ubuntu Forums Interviews
LaRoza is involved in the Unanswered Post Team and in the Programming Talk section. A self taught programmer, always willing to help other users, LaRoza is one of the respected member of our community. Read the full in interview here: http://kmandla.wordpress.com/2007/12/21/an-interview-with-laroza/
A new "Thank You" option
This week, ubuntu-geek implemented a "Thank You" button that can be clicked to thank a user for a helpful post. The button [http://ubuntuforums.org/images/uf/buttons/post_thanks.gif] can be found at the bottom right of each post, close to the [http://ubuntuforums.org/images/uf/buttons/edit.gif] and [http://ubuntuforums.org/images/uf/buttons/quote.gif] ones. A user cannot thank his/her own posts, and can only thank a given post once. Most of all, the forum staff would like to express that the "Thank You" feature is not a reputation system, that just like bean counts or profile images associated to beans, "Thank yous" are not intended to rate or rank members.
The "Thank You" feature will hopefully allow users to more easily spot useful information, and is one answer that UF is providing to help solve the problem of the dangerous commands posted recently by spammers. Full implementation will be available with the upcoming software upgrade. "Thank You" counts will appear in the user profile and will help new and naive users identify members who positively contribute to the forums.
