Many of the posters I had contact with haven't posted for quite a while.
One of my issues tho is when NT changed some of the options, format, etc....Was a bit lost. Do check in now and again as I have navigated somewhat better. What I did like before was being notified by email when there was a message/response to Private Messages..
I'm guessing the Thumb up represents a thank you.

I totally agree with what you have to say that any thanks you get is just icing on the cake.

Avalone, I quit posting on the migraine area because no one was in there posting. And it wasn't something I liked hearing my self talk. I like talking to
others. So I usually spend time where there are people talking.

I usually look and see if there are new threads in the areas I used to haunt,
but lately I've had trouble remembering my password and getting in.

So age isn't helping me.

ger715, you might want to check your settings about the e-mail notifying you about Private Messages because I still get those e-mail notifications. I'm fairly sure you can too.

I went looking for the Thumb up and found an icon for it. I'm going to try it out here and see what happens.

There is a "Thank" option at the bottom right of each post too if you want to thank someone for a post. Then your user name will show up on that post as someone who thanked the poster.

ger715, yes, agate is correct that you can go into your user CP (control panel) and select to receive email notifications for PMs etc, subscribe to threads/forums and a whole lot more
All the old options are still available, including the "Thanks" button, but I know some of the older theme/skins may not show it
I use the Tulip and the Spring themes as they are bright and cheerful :) and the Thanks button shows on both of them

Themes/Styles that show a Thumbs up icon instead of Thanks button..

Country Comfort
Responsive Green
Responsive Blue

Firefox Browser - Other browsers and Smart phones may display differently.

Thanks for the info! I had no idea there were were these differences in the styles.

Responsive Green and Country Comfort are options I don't have apparently. I've been so happy with the Spring theme that I've just stayed with it for ages.

It's a pleasure to come here and see its colors.

I like the Desert Sand style.. I think Mocha would have been a better name for it..or Coffee & Cream.. That's what I think of with the colors used..

In the past I previously had a Thanks option. I've been a member for many years having many posts using the Thanks option. I no longer have that option on my screen.

Chemar mentioned a CP (User Control Panel). Don't know where to find that either. All that was available to me in the past seemed to change a little over a year ago.

The FAQs have a lot of info on forum use & features -

User CP -

If you can't see those in the upper solid color bar going across the screen what browser & operating system are you using?

I'll add a screen shot of how mine looks.

New Posts - is a easy way to find the most recent posts..

I have MY Profile where you show User CP...all the rest is the same. After going into My Profile, there is info I can change my password, etc.....things I don't want to undo.
I have the same Apple Laptop I've been using for years as well as Safari.

Appreciate your help.....But still somewhat lost.
