Talking A guide to using the Thanks Button

When someone helps you with a problem or says something complimentary please locate and push the thanks button to show your appreciation.

Some members seem to think having a high thanks given count is a sign of technical weakness when it is in fact a sign of good manners.

Just in case there are some members who cant seem to find the thanks button it is located at the bottom right hand side of each and every post and looks like this -





What ever you use the thanks button for be it for good advice, technical guidance, responding to a compliment or if you simply agree with someone. It is always nice to give and receive a thank you on a post.

So to all the people with thanks received in the hundreds and thanks given in the tens. Stop being a tight wad, clicking the thanks button is free and might just brighten up someone's day.

Re: A guide to using the Thanks Button

It was all a ploy to get free thanks. Tut tut.








Wish I had thought of it first

Good one Razor. Thank you.

The next step is to spread your "Thanks button guide" post on every forum so all can read it!?

Thanks for bringing this important topic to our attention. Note to people with hundreds of thanks who've given less than 50 thanks: cough up, you owe us.

Re: A guide to using the Thanks Button

I have to agree with OP. Doesn't take much to thank people, Any chance it will be stickied?
