Every so often we add new features to Affilorama to further improve the quality of our courses, free lessons and other member content, to make sure you're getting the best you can from Affilorama!

Just a few days ago we quietly launched a new feature that lets you "thank" people on the Affilorama Forum; today I'm going to tell you a little more about it!
