New feature: Post "Thanks!" option

[Janice]

Greetings,

You now have the option to "Thank" a member for a post. This is a feature for those who appreciate and value a comment but don't want to post or clutter the thread with a simple "Thank you!". Click on the "Thanks!" button in the lower right hand corner, to the right of QUICK to leave your thanks. Giving a member "Thanks!" for their post you will also also increase their User Reputation.

This feature is not enabled in the following forums:

• For Sale & Swap
• For Sale & Swap Europe
• Want Ads, Wishlists & CP Requests
• Want Ads, Wishlists & CP Requests Europe
• Welcome Forum

The feature is enabled for only the first post in the following forums:

• FOTD
• Shameless Promotions
• Announcements

All other forums are open for any post to be thanked. There is no option to disable this feature at this time. I hope you enjoy this feature, I think it is much needed!

NOTE - Some member report they are unable to use this feature. I apologize for the inconvienence, but we have been unable to determine why this is happening. If you are unable to use the Thanks! feature you can use the reputation scales to leave feedback to the member.

Awsome... i think this feature is going to be great.. i know i do (THANKS) alot and it sure beats having to take up so much space on the post

Hi! Sorry I missed this! This feature has always been "on" in the forums you mentioned. Only the forums that are partially or fully restricted are listed in my post above. HTHS!

I love this idea.

 

[MacVirgin]

me too

I just joined recently and saw that I had been thanked in a post when I made a new reply today. I searched to try to find more about this, but this was all I could find. I just want to know what the thanks button looks like, and how I can find where I was thanked and by who. I just want to know what I said that was helpful to someone

Since I don't know how to use the button yet, thanks in advance!

The thanks button is next to the quote button at the bottom of a post, just look at the first post of this thread and you'll see it. If you wanna know who thanked you or what post, you can go to your profile (Top of the page, 'Quick links' - 'My profile') and then click 'view all thanked posts by "your username"' or at the buttom of your profile in the 'latest reputation received' section. Hope this helped and welcome to Specktra!

[bhaerynden]

[Shimmer]

it's disabled for when the site updates. They're working out the glitches.

 

[bhaerynden]

thx shimmer

 

[Shimmer]

no problem.

It'll be back though!!

 

[jakluk4]

i was wondering what that was! that is way too cool!

 

[charismaticlime]

Why is it back for some, but not all?
I can see some people have their posts thanked, but when I try to do the same, all I can do is add the post to their reputation.

 

[Shimmer]

It's a glitch, and it's being worked out, thanks for your patience.

 

[ViV04]

awwww it's not working again.... =*(

 

[honeyjr]

I guess the glitch is still being worked out? I can't seem to do it.

We have not been able to isolate why only a small percentage of member accounts are unable to use this feature, which makes fixing it close to impossible. It's definetly something that will be periodically readdressed. I'm sorry I don't have a better answer.

Why am I unable to thank certain members? For example, I wanted to thank a member in a thread and noticed that there is no "thanks" button next to any of their posts.
