You need to have 100 posts to give thanks.

 

Sorry, forgot to mention that before.

 

Ahh awesome, thank you. I'll try to remember to give my thanks to you in digital form once I reach that number!

The past week has convinced me this is a good feature, I was wrong earlier.

The past week has convinced me this is a good feature, I was wrong earlier.

Its being used quite well, so its quite nice at the moment.

Some people do seem to randomly be giving them out for pointless things though.

[Ashley]

If you feel people are giving out thanks willy nilly then feel free to contact me and I shall look into it

[Fresh]

Haven't used this feature yet so I feel I now must...... hummm, nifty.

[Aimless]

Wouldn't 'Kudos' be more appropriate than 'Thanks'? People seem to be using the feature more as a way of saying, "I endorse this post and/or product," such as Thank-ing people for making entertaining comments. I don't have any issue with the usage — it certainly beats people just saying "lol" or whatever — but pedant that I am the terminology irks me.

Y'all aware I didn't script it yes? :p

[Aimless]

There shouldn't be any scripting involved in changing the wording, so don't give me that excuse! Honestly, people would think you administrate this forum for free or something.

 

On a related note, I'm pretty sure the "Total Thanks" field in user profiles is actually "Thanks Given". For instance mine currently reads "Total Thanks: 0" because I'm ungrateful.

[killthenet]

Are you sure i'm not allowed to thank myself? I really did help myself out of a jam earlier.

[ReZourceman]

Any possibilities of restriction being lifted a widdle tiny bit?

[Ashley]

No. Y'all should be an unthankful miserable bastard such as I for God created me in his image, and I created you all in mine.

[ShigeruTR]

Also, Thanks means Teşekkürler in the Turkish. (:

[Fresh]

Thanks for your sharing. Thanks for sharing this useful information. It's great.

 

*cough*

BTW, I don't want to sound rude, but...

“Dank u Bedankt” is NOT supposed to be the German word for “thank you”, right?

(Because that would be “Danke” or “Dankeschön”)

“Dank u Bedankt†is NOT supposed to be the German word for “thank youâ€, right?

Nope, both "dank u" and "bedankt" are Dutch versions of thank you. Why Ashley put two for Dutch, I don't know...

Thanks for clarifying!

I was informed they were slightly different for two different countries, I forget which. However I am now saying its a nod to our Dutch heritage.
