It may be useful to have a thread rating system (seperate to the hot topics symbol). If the forum does start to grow, and there are many threads, I like to be able to 'see through' some of the 'noise' to which topics are of a 'better' quality.
Some sites, use a star rating system.

How thankful for leaders that men do not think! - Adolf Hitler
The very word secrecy is repugnant in a free and open society - JFK
Having the author listed instead of the last poster would be helpful. I've overlooked threads by my 'favorite' authors because the title didn't seem like something I'd be interested in.

Sinny, you're right it would be and the problem is, we have to work with what Proboards have for us to use, yes we are keeping and active eye for new Plug Ins we can use.
I'm curious. Do you want a system where the members can give "atta boys?" Would the system allow the "atta boys" to be reduced by people who didn't like it? So, four "thumbs up" and two "thumbs down" would result in a two thumbs up rating?
And you're thinking of the thread as a whole, not the individual posts within it? In short, something similar to the TOS flag system?
Charles1952, I think Sinny was talking about a Flag type system like T O S had for a thread. I know we can mark a thread as important, if we reactivated that, but I'm not sure that's what she talking about.
I think you should engage Sinny in a Private message as the Head Honcho and ask her if the Important Thread Icon would do it, I really think she's wanting something more like Flags or Stars at the top of the thread.

I thought that's what the 'Awards' were designed for
Good threads/posts awards that members could give out
<<<----- like that one there
ETA: oh wait, you mean on the thread themselves? My bad, misunderstood.....
