SPAMBOT4000 Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 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!
dwarf Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 The past week has convinced me this is a good feature, I was wrong earlier.
Kirkatronics Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 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 Posted July 29, 2009 Author Posted July 29, 2009 If you feel people are giving out thanks willy nilly then feel free to contact me and I shall look into it
Fresh Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Haven't used this feature yet so I feel I now must...... hummm, nifty.
Aimless Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 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.
Aimless Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 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 Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Are you sure i'm not allowed to thank myself? I really did help myself out of a jam earlier.
ReZourceman Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Any possibilities of restriction being lifted a widdle tiny bit?
Ashley Posted August 6, 2009 Author Posted August 6, 2009 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 Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Also, Thanks means Teşekkürler in the Turkish. (:
Fresh Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Thanks for your sharing. Thanks for sharing this useful information. It's great. *cough* Some sort of spambot on forums, see here as well : http://www.n-europe.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1060049#post1060049
T-3 Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 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”)
Supergrunch Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 BTW, I don't want to sound rude, but...“Dank u Bedankt†is NOT supposed to be the German word for “thank youâ€, right? (Because that would be “Danke†or “Dankeschönâ€) Nope, both "dank u" and "bedankt" are Dutch versions of thank you. Why Ashley put two for Dutch, I don't know...
T-3 Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 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! (Don't have 100 posts yet)
Ashley Posted September 14, 2009 Author Posted September 14, 2009 Nope, both "dank u" and "bedankt" are Dutch versions of thank you. Why Ashley put two for Dutch, I don't know... 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.
