Question

have you guys ever thought about putting thumbs up buttons on people's profiles. I think it would be a good way to show your appreciation to people who help you solve a problem. @the openstudy team

Answer 1

I think this is something that both medals and fans are supposed to address together. By giving someone a medal you are saying that they had the "best answer." This usually means that they were helpful in solving the problem. As for the fans, these are the people that you appreciate more than most other users.

Answer 2

how do you add a medal because I haven't figured out how

Answer 3

You click the "Best Answer" button next to some response.

Answer 4

That gives a medal it thought it made them like the "the best answerer" or something
Thanks

Answer 5

KingGeorge is right. And you can do one better than give a thumbs up on someone's profile by becoming their fan and then writing them a fan testimonial. The testimonials are visible to all people looking at a user's profile.

I use myself as an example: http://openstudy.com/users/blues#/users/blues/testimonials
