    Yeah I'm guessing that's the case. Ah well

    Ah, I removed a thanks and was able to apply. Didn't know about the 10 thanks limit.

    Again, sweet.

    He just added it in to help against abuse of the system.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,496 ✭✭✭Mr. Presentable


    Maybe on the Help forum and the few others specifically for getting assistance, and only if it specifies what the thanks is for, but to have it throughout the Boards system is a poor idea in my humble opinion. Is there really a value in thanking posters for their remarks in After Hours, Films, etc? Oh, I'm sure you can think of a few, but you could just say thanks in a post. All the reasons reputation was done away with for will be back now.

    Edit: I've just noticed it's not in After Hours.

    Still don't agree it's a good idea.

    You sir are a genius.

    Here's hoping I did it right...

    I only noticed this today because I haven't been online much (and I'm slow). It's good to have it!

    Though on lfcreds.com there's a + and - rating, and I think if we could get - type in it would be good!

    Now that I've got your attention...


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,727 ✭✭✭✭Sherifu


    This has a limit to the amount of times you can use it a day. It can be removed from forums quite easily so if it gets abused on a forum it can be removed. It can be disabled for users so if a user abuses it (and it should be quite easy to see who is abusing it), it can be removed. This should limit the abuse somewhat.
    Still if enough people wanted to go against the spirit of it they could. There were limits with the rep system and it was abused. :) It's good for the forums where posters get help with problems. Guess we'll see how it goes.

    For shame Tar.Aldarion.

    Tricking people that way. Darn, I just admitted you tricked me. Catch 22

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,910 ✭✭✭✭RoundyMooney

    It is easy to stop those links once he wants to.

    At first I thought this thanks thing was harmless, a bit of fun, but now I'm checking my thanks count every minute, and still nothing. I feel inadequate. I don't know what to do. I keep pressing the refresh button and nothing.

    My life is over!!!


    *kills self*

    Ah so thats what this new fangled Thanks button is all about!
    Thanks guys lol:D


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,297 ✭✭✭Ron DMC


    I have decided not to 'thank' anyone ever. If a post is really that good, you can quote it and say so.


    I'm still willing to receive thanks though, mostly because I'm a greedy b*stard


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,705 ✭✭✭✭Tigger


    so this is the place it happens
    thanks guys


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,705 ✭✭✭✭Tigger


    hey how come the others get to have thank links
