what's the difference between like vs. thank?

What is the difference between liking and thanking a post in these forums? The concept seems to be the same; not sure when I choose thank over like, and vice versa.

You thank when someone has helped you. You like when you agree with what they're talking about.

Cool. That's what I was guessing. I'll thank you now.
