  • I couldn't find the answer quickly, so I just figure I would ask...

    What are the "Thanks" all about? I see the button next to the reply/quote buttons.

    Thanks (irony noted)

  • If someone says something useful, you can click the thanks button under their post and they will get a thank you added to their statistics.

  • It's just a gay little button that allows you to Thank a poster for his insightful, useful post. It mostly is used as a smart-ass reply, or a brown-nose attempt to gain a notch in life. It's even been used to fuel and cause wars and has been a topic of heated discussion in the past.

    We keep it because it is controversal and dynamic ... but so cute.

    Be careful with it, and don't misuse it!

  • I couldn't help but "Thank" both of those replies, lol.

  • Yeah some use it for its intended use: thanking someone for a helpful post. I tend to use it on posts that I think are funny, or posts that I want to acknowledge in some way. If only we could thank our own posts...

    Admin should consider additional buttons to streamline the smack volume, i.e:

    'Blow Me'.......'Effing homo'....'Friggin IDIOT'.......'BQ is a fag'

  • What's dumb is, you can't "Thank" yourself...

    I mean, really...once in a year or two, somebody like me might

    come up with something really good. But can you "Thank" yourself? NO. 🙄

    But, Stan never promised us a rose garden.

  • My only question is why doesn't the forum add a "F**k You" button in addition to the Thank You button?

  • Its kind of like on facebook with the "like" button...but yes we cold really use an "unlike" button as could facebook..hah!

  • Yes, sounds it is tempting
