I have searched, looked, clicked and highlighted but can't figure out to do a "Thanks From" to a post.

I don’t see the thumbs..........I see 3 icons for quote, multi quote and quick reply.

moonbug33

That's because you're looking at your own posts.

You can't thank yourself.

moonbug33

Well no one else is going to thank me:D..................That's the oddest thing........I swear the thumbs weren't to be seen on any post before..........now I can see them. Thanks.

You have to have more than 10 posts to get the option.

daniel.ocarroll

Don't worry, you'll be wishing your postcount was smaller in no time

Incidentally, please don't post just to get a higher postcount as this could upset the space-time continuum and might anger the Mod Gods. Don't worry, your time will come young Skywalker you will make it to the thanks ball in time..

The 'Thanks' button appears after 25 posts from what I'm told.

Spear

Thanks is 10,

signature is 25,

social group membership is 25.


Or at least that's everything I'm aware of.

for some reason it still wont let me do the thumbs up,

it takes me to a page saying i do not have permission.


this is the message I get,


3ndahalfof6, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. You may be trying to post in a restricted forum such as Soccer, or one of the many private forums on boards.ie.
   For clarification, check our Help Desk forum.
2. You may be banned from this forum if you contravened an element of the forum charter.
3. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
4. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Did you just attempt to thank my post there? There's a blank thanks appearing. There is a limit of 10 thanks in a 24 hour period, could you possibly be hitting that limit?

yes I did try to thank you but it took me to the page I have showen in my last post.

I can see your thanks on that post though. The other alternative is that you're trying to thank a deleted post. If that's not the case, then you should raise a bug entry in site development and get your account permissions checked

I feel like a CoD pariah by doing this, but I'm just sticking in a quick post to get me closer to the ol thumbs up privileges.:o

Spamming to boost post count just gets the posts removed.

Apologies Spear, I'm new to this forums gig. I shall endeavour to stick to the charter in future.

Out of curiousity, what's the reasoning behind making people wait to get a thanks button?

Does this not just unintentionally promote spamming? (though that said, when I joined up I didn't care about the feature at all).

It avoids sock puppeting if people attempt to make accounts to thank posts to give the false appearance of support. It also conveys the point that contribution is rewarded. It's only 10 posts anyway, it'll only take a single threads worth of exchange to meet that.

It's slightly different in the case of sigs where they're normally the target of spammers or shills.
