"Thank You" button

By the way - you don't need to thank me

I've just assumed that it was a feature provided by the Exploroz team that allows appreciative posters to easily express appreciation for information provided by others. In fact, I'm sure that's what it is :-o).

I should have shut up - I ended up with 3 Thanks.
Thanks for nothing you lot.

You can switch it off Dennis. I believe that facility may have been put in as a result of my suggestion (and probably others). No need to thank me because I won't know about it anyway. :-)

Dennis; If you don't appreciate someone saying thanks and being courteous towards you then you can also switch the computer.

Bazooka. I find it quite handy to say that I agree with a someone.

Thanks PJR

I use it to thank the person who posted the words that I "thank". Not everyone. I may not agree with everyone. The "Thanks" email only goes to the user who posted the words you thank. More personal and meaningful.

One would say that it's a bit old fashioned like when we sent individual Christmas cards instead of the email "to all". I hate them.

Not so silly when you think of it in that way. I never think of a "thank you" being silly.

All well and good, Greg.
What I would love to see is a 'like' and 'unlike' button.
Might help to curb any trolling, whingeing or inappropriate threads and give a 'heads up' to the moderators.
Just my thoughts, lol.

Cheers,
Dennis

Original THANKS thread

Pretty sure that was discussed when David first raised the idea Dennis - and thankfully dismissed.

Hi Dennis

Best to use the "Moderator Alert" button for threads/posts that appear to breach forum rules ( e.g. trolling, inappropriate etc). Unfortunately "whingeing" (unless off topic/trolling) is currently not in breach of any forum rules so in most cases we have to grin and bare it :)

Cheers

Good day Greg

Don't you dare change it to a "Like" or "Unlike" button. It's good that people have to really think sometimes instead of just pressing the Borg community wide "Like" ones as in Facebook and Twitter (back yard rumor sites).

How many people say "Like" when you help them by opening the door. Not many.

Phil

Hello

I do not have the capacity to change anything in this regard. Like you and everyone else I can only provide my opinion on forum/site layout. It's Dave's baby.

Don't really have an opinion on social medias use of the word "like" - doesn't seem to do too much harm so think I'll continue not to care.

Cheers
Greg

Sorry Greg I got you mixed up with the guru.
