Thanks Button?

[UlsterMando]

Sorry, I don't mean to break up the party, but what about a "No Thanks" button ?
. . . or would it just lead to gratitude wars ?

If that seems like too blunt an instrument then perhaps a "Thanks, But No Thanks" button
as a more polite version might edge the debate along a little.

Thanks.

I note also that one may not "Thank" oneself which self-congratulatory instinct
is so central a part of modern life.

Thanks

I think we need a "Man, that's utter lunacy" button.

On a more serious note, I don't know what it is, but I like when someone thanks one of my posts. And now I get frustrated on some of the other bulletin boards (non-music) I go to that don't have a "thanks" button. Plus, sometimes it's easier to just hit the thanks button than to add a post that doesn't add anything substantive. bb

Thank you all!

Or perhaps a little icon of an evil troll?

Let's not encourage any more "You're a poopy-head!" "No, you're a poopy-head!" food fights. This is the most civil music website I've frequented, and it's great to have it that way.

No need to thank me...

Thank you all!

Consider the imaginary 'You're Welcome' button clicked!

I would rather ignore and not attempt to hurt feelings. I think if something does not interest you just move on.

How about an "Are you serious!?" button/emoticon or a "Shoot Me Now" emoticon.
I really prefer the use of "common courtesy" which seems to be less common and even less courteous.
I bid you "Good Evening"
Ooh, channeling Bela Lugosi!?

[Bill Clements]

The worst is when I 'Thank' someone and moments later a moderator (or worse yet, the site owner) reams them for their ignorant post.

Hmmm...perhaps it's time for a "spank you" button, too?

I've used them--sometimes for Thanks, sometimes to say Good Job!, sometimes as a Like button.

On the mobile layout, is thanks the "+ button?

[Bertram Henze]

On the mobile layout, is thanks the "+ button?

No, "+" is the multi-quote button. There is no Thanks button on the mobile layout afaIk.

No, "+" is the multi-quote button. There is no Thanks button on the mobile layout afaIk.

On mine it's under the little 'down arrow '

The "Thanks" button reminds me of the "Like" button in Facebook. However, "Thanks" is more - to me, it means I actually benefitted from a post rather than just "Liked" it.
I do "Thanks" people often, though.

[Timbofood]

I agree Sevelos, I like many thing, I am thankful for others.
Thanks!
