>>I really like the Points system on the Universal Thread. I would like to thanks Ken Weber, Jean-René and all the others who have expressed their opinions to have this system. It is also interesting to see members who are participating in it. Don't forget. Whenever someone has helped you with a specific situation, it is appreciated you take the time to mark the proper message.

As mentioned in the other message, that aspect of the Points system is only one asset of it. This is not the prime reason of the release of this system. The system is mostly based on the recognition of messages which have contributed in the solution of the initial question of the thread. That opens the door to various other features such as filtering those messages in the search, etc.
