Actually, a "Thanks" really is different than a LOL, IMO.

When I give a "Thanks", it means (to me) that I am agreeing with the sentiment expressed in that persons post.

On the other hand, when someone posts something I do not necessarily agree with, but says something humorous, THEN the LOL would be appropriate, but not the "Thanks".

I could use the LOL button on numerous posts, but I am more selective with my "Thanks".

Also, I really do not like interrupting the flow of a thread with a post that is just a or a or a ...
sooo, I understand if a LOL button is not do-able, but the "Thanks" is not the same as a LOL.
