Thanks for the work put into the like button, I've just got (yet another?) suggestion. On the front page, under Forum stats, there is a most recent posts section. How about also, a list of the most liked posts over the last week or 24 hours. Maybe it shouldn't be calculated over posts, maybe instead it should be a list of the topics that had the largest number of likes.

Quote from: Chris Bergin on 01/13/2014 05:05 pmWe need to change that as it's totally wrong to base it on post count.I wonder what we can do with it?I agree, it should be about quality of posts, not quantity.I really liked that idea of letting the community vote on the credibility of other members based on quality of posts, although I can easily see how it could be abused by people who are for one thing, "voting down" people against another thing, etc.One possible way to solve it would be to allow the option to give a "plus" to a member you liked, but remove the option to give a "minus" - that way "voting people down" could not happen, as you can only give a positive vote to a member.Also, on that subject, when is the "thanks" button coming to posts?-----Edit:Or maybe the aforementioned could be combined, and member stars could be linked to the amount of "thanks" they get?

Maybe L2 membership should be one step also?
When I use the "Tags" function (http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?action=tags) the list I see is ordered by the number of times a tag has been used. The previous forum software had them listed alphabetically which made it much easier to find relevant tags.Is there a way I can change the way the tags are ordered myself, or is this only possible with a forum configuration change?Thanks.

Most forums are simply by post count. Quality of a post is by natire qualitative and open to interpretation. People who read a post know if its a good post. No need to "measure" a posts "quality" by any sort of voting system IMO.
Members need to be rated on the quality of their posts as well as the the number of posts they have posted. 50% of the rating for post quality and 50% for the number of posts. This would be a fairer system than the current one which only rates on the number of posts a member has posted.
