I know there was a thread about it's disappearance. But I don't recall any official reply.
So?
Jimbop asked me to post this as his hands are shaking too much from the withdrawal symptoms :)Cause he's a rep whoore
So where is the thanks button ?

I dont think it is coming back. Coincidentally, this place hasnt glitched or slowed down once for me since that went.

Yeah i was away for a bit and i come back and its gone?????? I liked it :(
Well it does encourage people to write a personal thank you if a positive comment was written about you, instead of the easy thank you.......1 positive!!
But bring it back i say :D -
22-05-11, 17:51RaydenI dunno what causes it. Just pointing out a coincidence.:)Quote:

Then comes the moderators who have to delete people's thank yous so a thread can look readable with out the thank yous thrown around. As sometimes a thread can get messy and hard enough to read without people adding posts of support when a simple thank you will do.
Finally comes the posters of these useful posts. They have no idea how many people really likes their posts if only some people say 'thanks'. -

SO thank you for your post LDM.:p

Mods, any word on the "thank you" button? Is it gone for good? A temporary setback? Or one of those "you'll be informed as necessary" things? I am getting withdrawal symtoms!
-
22-05-11, 23:45ladiesman217OMG guys it's getting bad... Poor Morph can't even spell symptoms right :p pmslQuote:

22-05-11, 23:58ladiesman217I want this guy hanged for treason! :p It was not just like FB's like button, similar yes, but it was so much more... For some of us it was a reason to get out of bed. Some saw it as a way of making peace with the world and sharing a gay old time (Morph). For others... it was a sign of hope and acceptance (me)... Without it, we are incomplete :sad:Quote:

23-05-11, 00:12ladiesman217Well that may be... But what you're forgetting is that you just shunted my heart felt speech about the thanks button to the end of page 2!!!!! lolQuote:

Ha instead of thanking i'm adding to reputation!!! ;) I feel the need to do something when someone says something nice.....
-
23-05-11, 07:01MorpheusThe problem Fi, is that you can't tell who's added to your reputation (unlike the thanks). So it's very hard to know who's agreed with you. And likewise impossible to return the compliment.Quote:
