Today we made an important change to the way Mobilism works. Each topic now has a thumbs up button and a thumbs up counter. Clicking on the thumbs up will add one "thank you" to the counter (you can think of it as a "like" on facebook or "+1" on google+), and +1 WRZ$ to the person who made the release.

There is no deduction from your account when you click the "thank you" button.

As thank yous accumulate, users will be able to tell which releases are good and which are not based on how many thank yous each has. Additionally, this will save moderators a lot of time as they will no longer be rewarding topics and will instead concentrate on helping users, though they will still categorize and check each topic.

Currently this is enabled in Android, BlackBerry, iPad, iPhone, WebOS, Windows Phone, Windows Mobile, Movies, eBooks, but it will probably be introduced to other sections as well soon. If you have any suggestions or find errors, please post here.

I don't see this button in the webOS section, e. g. viewtopic.php?f=587&t=188144

I can't see it in the android section... or maybe it's because of my browser (safari)?

What a great idea! The stars rating system was a bit obscure and I don't think many people used it

Edit: Restarted FF and now I'm seeing it in FF 6.0.2. Not sure if the restart made a difference or not.

Either way, great idea. I like it a lot!

So the "thumbs up" is the only reward the poster gets now? Also don't really agree with the 'users can tell what releases are good' a release can be good but not many clicked thumbs up. Or it was downloaded and they didn't add a thank you to the poster.

edit: ok I see a post from today rewarded by a mod, the way it was written above saying mods wouldn't have to do that is why I asked. I don't see any buttons to click a thumbs up anywhere though. AND I keep answering my own questions as I see the ebooks section isn't listed as having this feature enabled yet.

The ebook section will have the feature as well now (maybe even today).

I had to discuss it with my team first.

I think it's a great idea to be able to thank the poster, I'm glad I didn't miss the '+1 WRZ$' part of the post, I don't want to run out of'+1 WRZ$' if I get carried away thanking posters for their wonderful books!!

The poster gets +1 WRZ when you click the thumbs up button, and if I'm right it does not deduct from your balance.

That is correct. +1ing someone will only add to their wrz and not take away from yours. But, releasers will no longer be getting a reward per release from mods. The only way their get wrz now is by you the people +1ing their releases. Happy +1ing! :D
