I really have enjoyed this thread, plus I've greatly enjoyed the thanks button. It is greatly appreciated for those moments when I want to thank someone for their post, but I'm just too tired or maybe too busy to actually post a thank you. As has been stated, you don't have to use it if you don't want to. Of course, there would be no problem at all if only the originator of the post being thanked could see the thanks. I did think of that as a possible solution.
I like the new smilies, there were some comments about them awhile back in this thread. But I wish someone could explain the simple hug one to me:
I can get the group hug, but the plain hug to me looks kinda like the pinkish smilie is about to sock the greenish smilie in the chops. What am I not getting?
Hugs,
