'Thank You' areas on site....
« on: May 11, 2009, 02:59:14 pm »
....

I can appreciate that you may not want 'Thank You' options everywhere on site but there are some very valid (IMO) times when a 'Thank You' is very appropriate in Random Chat. Discussions in Random Chat are often car related or even 'Please help' subject matter.

For example, I have recently posted a new topic asking for karting advice and have recieved help worthy of giving a 'Thank You'.

I submit this for your consideration.

Thank You! :grin: :drinking:

Thats just what i was thinking, you dont get the postie knocking on your door with a red apple every time someone presses the thank you button :grin:

Why cant you say a simple thank you, I have found it strange some members even asking to be thanked  :chicken:
Are some of you addicted to seeing you total go up.




you can thank me for this if you want, its up there on the left.  :evilgrin: :innocent: :evilgrin:    :signIWS:

+1. Just a waste of time really. I don't see what advantage it is bringing to the forum/the members. Its quite easy to see how reputable a member is just from looking at his recent or previous posts.

Is it meant to be a motivator for people to post useful advice/comments? Surely that should be the ethos behind members attitudes anyway.

Just don't get it really  :signIWS: :signIWS:

But if we're going to keep the system, then I agree with the suggestion in this thread completely.

I agree it will have some merrits, when it has some time behind it, i think lets just give it sometime and see how it progresses. I think part of the reason you cant thank people in  random chat, is because you dont have a post count in there and some threads and posts get removed.  :smiley:

....If you re-read my original post you'll see that my raising this subject is biassed towards giving and not receiving Thank You's.
