    Only spotted that I got thanked yesterday..I'm a newbie, whatcanIsay!!

    Then I spotted that I can also 'Remove Your Thanks'

    Do people do this? Do you thank someone, then think 'Naaaaahhhhh, shouldn't have thanked them afterall.....'

    Bit of an odd option here.......dontchatink?

    The very odd time. I've read something, thanked it, read it again, and realised it wasn't what i thought the 1st time round, so removed it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,775 ✭✭✭Fittle


    But I was still told you thanked me...:p

    And the point of this 'option' is....????:confused:

    Yes, like when people are wrong about Marty McFly!

    I only post on boards for teh thanks. I need to feel accepted. Also I thank a post and forget about it ... do people recheck the posts they have thanked.

    If I thank a post it's because it made me laugh, or the user said pretty much what I would have said in reply to a post.

    So if I thanked it, it remains thanked.:pac:

    I bet your page view has increased also :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,095 ✭✭✭ANXIOUS


    No I leave them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,689 ✭✭✭✭OutlawPete


    I have read a post and thought:

    "Yeah, yeah .. bang on, 100%, I agree, spot on .. nail on the head"

    So I, thank their post.

    Then I'll get to the end and it'll be:

    "And so in conclusion, all foreigners should be deported"


    :eek:

    So then I'm like: remove thanks, remove thanks.


    :p

    When I thank people, I never remove the thanks afterwards, and I'v just thanked everyone in this thread to prove it!!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,237 ✭✭✭mcmoustache


    I did it once because I accidentally gave thanks when I wanted to "Quote".

    If shop assistants said thanks now and then, that would do me.

    No. I don't understand the big deal with thanks anyway.
    Wouldn't bother me if I had 0.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,150 ✭✭✭kumate_champ07


    I used to thank certain mods' posts after they would delete a post or ban me, a kind of sarcastic thanks, I'd remove it later just so they wouldnt have it in their 'thanks total count'


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,736 ✭✭✭Irish Guitarist


    I think I've removed my thanks once or twice when I accidentally thanked the wrong post.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,661 ✭✭✭✭Helix


    i tend to thank by accident a lot, through retarded track pad control more than anything else
