The thanks comment is like that "Yeahhh" in the House of Commons. That is, it is a beautiful noise to hear (see) on your own posts, and it can be an indicator of who sides with whom in a dispute. But it is not reliable. Absence of thanks does not mean dislike, thanks can mean somebody misunderstood your post and applauds for the wrong reason...
It is, though, a reliable indicator for or against your own independence of thought - observing your own posts and watching for thanks says more about yourself than about those others. As the Jedi say: search your feelings.

I use it all the time its a way to "pile on" with your "side" in a discussion with out getting your keyboard dirty in a contentious "discussion"! LOL!
I'm waiting for the next phase when the MC will start to count up your total number of "thanks" and then divide that by your total number of posts to get your "attaboy" or "attagirl" ratio.

Due to current budgetary restrictions the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off -- sorry about the inconvenience.
Every forum should have a thanks-giving day (ha ha), wherein everyone clicks the thanks button (or equivalent) on every post.
Not only would this engender good feelings amongst the posters, it would also test the forum software and hardware for weaknesses.
I propose that American Thanksgiving Day also be National Click-your-thanks Day. I look forward to helping you all stress-test Mandolin Cafe. And thanks!
It is a feature I like and use often. I frequently 'thank' posts I appreciate or agree with. I think it can help to foster the congenial atmosphere we have in this on-line community, which is something I really value.

Hey G7MOF,
As you can see, I just used it.
Think It makes a lot of sense as a quick sign of acknowledgement or respect...
There could be more buttons for frequent standard posts, such as
- the Popcorn button
- the Your-spelling-is-faulty button
- the Works-for-me button
- the Doesn't-work-for-me button
- the Ain't-no-part-of-nuthin button
- the I'll-be-at-the-festival/show-too button
- ...

I assume it's intended as a way of thanking people for information etc. without cluttering up the board with a full post saying exactly the same thing - at least that's how I use it.
Doggone it! I answered in the other forum!

A few days back, no matter what I posted, somebody would later paraphrase my post. Then they would get the "Thanks" and I would not.
Turns out my Swahili button was stuck down.

I didn't know it was there.
I try to thank anyone who expresses agreement with me, or quotes me.
Also the very-much-appreciated Cafe´members who catch me up, when I've said something stupid -- or provided misinformation. Happens.

I just realized I'd posted it in the correct area originally then submitted it again in the same area.
What a plonker!!!

BTW They don't seem to be on the mobile ap.
Sorta wish I did.
Uh... threads merged.
Please carry on with this titillating conversation about a feature that has been in plain sight and used widely for years.
Aaah, civility returns to the golden throne of mandolin entertainments.
And, thank you!

The worst is when I 'Thank' someone and moments later a moderator (or worse yet, the site owner) reams them for their ignorant post.
