Thanks for the poll..
 

And that was FAST working too! ;)

I think a Thank You for threads alone is fine...will help those who are shy,
have physical impairments, or whatever.

I am glad the option for leaving it in, is there without tallies. That is what I
voted for today. The tallies to me are very problematic for so many reasons.

But the Thank You concept is nice. And I like the virtual support button idea, too.
Although I am not a huggy person especially to people I don't know, a hug
is nice when given appropriately. Some sort of "support button" would be nice, and humanize the cyber experience alot here (and maybe if you get one written, will be picked up by other forums in time as well).

It doesn't matter to me one way or another.

You rock Doc John! http://home.mchsi.com/~njp/emoticons/rockon.gif Thanks once again for NeuroTalk and all that you do. It's comforting to know you're out there watching over us.

:Bow: Dear Doc John,
could you possibly add a "hug" graphic to the already long list of graphics...
sorry to ask this but I am not able to find a "hug" graphic when that is all I really want to give someone..
so that would be great!

I'm kind of with Doody on this one. It doesn't really matter to me one way or another, as long as it doesn't turn into a medium for judging or labelling people. I would hate to see anyone's feelings get hurt.

Idealist

my 2 cents worth (adjusted for inflation)
 

I used the "thanks" button several times on this thread when I read it an hour or so ago. But while I truly meant "Thanks" to John for explaining one of the reasons the button was first created", the subsequent "thanks" meant more "I agree with you" or "Good Point"

So I fully agree with the person who suggested a drop down menu of alternative comments - that would be so cool.

I am one of those people who is sometimes here for hours, but more likely just drop by to check this forum or maybe one or two others - just to look... and sometimes don't come by for days at a time.

And sometimes I am in the mood and have the time to respond fully, in public or private, to express all my thoughts --- but most times, I just quickly browse a few threads and then split, for adding short and simple responses of Thanks or I Agree or Good Point seem to merely clutter up the thread by making others think that REAL REPLIES of substance have been made. It irks me no end to sit here waiting for a thread to load, only to find that sort of replies.

But at the same time, I KNOW that these sorts of responses are important to many (most?) who post here - that having those brief little "Thanks", "I agree" and "Good Points" are important points of connection to others in their lives and so I have always realized their intrinsic worth.

Sum total then? I am so glad that vBulletin has so many users who are so talented and have created so many wonderful customized functions, and I know that a request for a multi-response selection is certainly something attainable. vBulletin ROCKS! :p

I have a couple graphics maybe Doc would like to use for hugs or whatever. Lord knows, they're everywhere.

I kinda like the group hug. http://home.mchsi.com/~njp/emoticons/grouphug.gif

My favorite little heart. http://home.mchsi.com/~njp/emoticons/throb.gif

Well, can't ya just feel the love? lol http://home.mchsi.com/~njp/emoticons/love.gif

I like this simple little hug a lot. http://home.mchsi.com/~njp/emoticons/hug.gif

Totally unrelated to hugs and kisses but one of my all time favorites, LOLOL is: http://home.mchsi.com/~njp/emoticons/thud.gif

Well, maybe this is my 2nd favorite and close runnerup to Mr. Thud. http://home.mchsi.com/~njp/emoticons/holysheep.gif LOLOL!

Doc's welcome to borrow any 'cause I borrowed them somewhere!

For Doc John...

'cause sometimes I wonder how your mental health is doing when we start knocking your ideas.

If you get to feeling embarrassed or...kinda like you're being rejected, come on over to SOS. We're good listeners. :D

Oh, I love those Doody!
 

I especially love the "thud" one. Everything these days sort of makes me
feel that way.;)

The hugs are nice too.;)

Yup, Mrs. D., I have a lot of those thud moments, probably why I like him so much.

And don't ya have days where ya just feel like http://home.mchsi.com/~njp/emoticons/plantpull.gif and http://home.mchsi.com/~njp/emoticons/kick.gif

I sure do. :winky:
