Where has the thank option gone.

[Swagman 070]

Does anybody know where the thank option has gone from received posts to a thread?

It's gone away for a few days but will be back soon

Will you be changing it this time so it just says thanks, and not thanks for the useful post. Seems to me that most use it as a quick way of saying thank you.

It did just say thanks didn't it?

[Ian M]

If i recall it said "name thanks name for this useful post"

The way it was used I think the text should say :- "Name says thanks name"

[John]

Is that better?

[Ian M]

The following user says thanks is fine by me.

As for that Facebook Likes button thing..........

Just a note, when you changed the "thanks" thingy was everything reset to zero cos the status thingy ( you can tell I'm not very computer literate ) says I've never been thanked, 0 for 0, not worried, just asking?

Seems it was reset Tony.

I'm sure i had been thanked a couple of times but now i ain't got none neever

as you say though, don't matter eh

Yes I not interested in the number of times I have been thanked & would rather it not be there.

I like just to say thanks if I have received good & thought full information. If people feel likewise with my participation then that is very nice but do not want points which is what it is.

I had to remove the thanks button for a sort time while I did some testing, when I put it back on it zero'ed everyone, but I sort of agree with Laurie, I think it's much better if people replied with a thanks.. then constructive reply... but also if people just think, thanks for that, but posting that would just create loads of posts that don't make good reading then the button is good, I don't think the "Thanked 23 Times in 23 Posts" serves any real use so I think I will remove that but keep the button, unless anyone else disagrees?

Another quiver to your bow John.

Nice sensible compromise. Keep the thanks button which as you say cuts all "just thanks" posts but at the same time is a nice & friendly thing to have if you have taken time. But remove the "points" for thanks which is rather huh pointless.
