Virtual hugs would be way cool!

I was just testing the feature out using all the different themes. The one I usually use is the chestnut and it seems to me to be the one where people might be more likely to press the thanks button rather than the quote just because of the colours. On the other themes, the colours tend to stand out more and wouldn't be so difficult to press the wrong button. I guess the remove thanks button is useful if someone accidentally presses that instead of the "quote" like I just did LOL

I voted in the beginning of the poll when the number of thanks were tallied and visible on the screen, before that was moved to only show in profile. It seemed totally superfluous. Works perfectly fine in a user's profile as far as I am concerned. After reading all the responses again, I am guessing some people didn't see it when it was like that.

Anyway, I'm thinking that I probably should have waited longer before I voted. I'd still prefer to post a message or send a private message myself, but can totally understand that the thanks button might be useful for other users here, as Lavlou and others have stated. I think I've posted this before on this thread or maybe the other one, but really wanted to post about the appearance of the *thanks* in the different themes.

take care,

Yes, of course I realize the "remove" button is there in case of accident; it's the placing of it that worries me - too much "in-your-face", should be smaller at the bottom. As it is, you thank someone and when it comes up it sits there, first, big and obvious, shouting "Did you mean that? Are you sure? Don't you really want to take it away?" - it kind of works like a big suggestion, rather than a "side tool". (I'm a designer, I notice these things...:Painting: ... ;) )

Whoever designed the vbulletin layout got most of it right, just needs some tweaking...
all the best!

yikes...yes I just tested it, artist, by giving you thanks for your post and then removing it :rocket:

hafta confess I personally do not like this feature:rolleyes:
I find typing a quick thank you or clicking on a few of the appropiate smilies to be more to my liking :Thanx: :I-Agree:

geepers. so you can take a thank you back? :eek: after how long? does it just show it gone or leave a record which thank you was taken back? ( on the profile..if you check who thanked you?)


i'm warning y'all..you give me choccy...no taking it back..unless you want your hand bitten :p

Well, yes! Curious you ain't getting any choccy or cookies back, oh no, no how, no way....:winky:

I'm just talking about the "remove thanks" button here (although I'm not keen on automated thanks at all)....

I can see the "remove thanks" feature becoming an expression of resentment; there are people who remove their posts if they're miffed, so this will definitely be a tool in the "someone really upset me" armament...

Maybe the mods should remove misplaced thanks if contacted - although I can't see that inadvertently thanking someone is such a terrible problem, unless it's a troll...everyone likes thanks. If you press the button on the wrong post...so what?? - leave it there and thank the other person too. In fact, the more I think about it, the less point I can see to this particular "tool".

On balance, I think it'll do more harm if left there than otherwise. It does look mighty peculiar.

My 0.2c worth!
all the best :)

virtual hug is good? :) yes,I like that one.

hello everybody, its been a long time.I have missed y'all very much:grouphug:

I'm still trying to figure out what the thanks and #'s all mean.? Do I have numbers? :eek: Julia

hi jo...coffee is waiting for you in the caregivers forum. :)

the numbers were showing up under peoples names. right now they are in your profile.

Thanks Curious, how did you know I needed that coffee so much?:confused:

now I have lost the thank you feature so I guess it doesn't much matter to me:p Tis true it has been a long time since I was here last and I'm having a heck of a time understanding this first thread I started reading in:winky: I like all the new icons that I'm finding. Julia

well you told me to take my thanks back so here it is. go hunt it:p

Jo is Joking, I hope you know:)
