Because, we all know that the number of views a thread has doesn't mean anything compare to the amount of thanks it has. It would make it easier for users to find old quality threads when surfing the forum.

Thanks!

This is a good idea!

However rather than having a forumdisplay column, I would suggest adding icon in the thread title column, ala the rating graphics, that shows up if there is any thanks for any post on the thread with tool tip with "Thread contains x posts that where thanked a total of Y times".

Note that thanks are registered on the post level rather than the thread level. Still it is easy enough to find out if any posts on that thread have been thanked.
