I just today, while bumbling about in the User Control Panel, stumbled upon a whole bunch of "Thank You's" that had been sent to me, apparently 46 in all, although 25 had already time expired.

Turns out I had neglected to check the box that initiates notification of said messages, (a situation that has since been rectified), and was therefore oblivious of their existence, (some might say that's a natural state for me).

I'd like to thank all those who 'thanked me', and apologize to anyone who interpreted my lack of response as rudeness rather than mental incapacity. :facepalm:
 
I looked after you posted and someone sent me a nice thank you with a question. Of course it was back on 3/15/2015.:facepalm:

So..when we get a group, should we meet irregularly and have a secret handshake? :LOL:
 
Well, file this under "you learn something new every day" for me!

I never knew that was there. I have a couple dozen thank you's...thanks and sorry to any that I hadn't re-replied to.

Who knew!
 
I rarely acknowledge thank you's if they don't contain a question. Also when I send a thank you i don't expect a reply.

So relax.:)
 
LOL. I'm a flippin' moderator and never noticed or saw that. LMAO.

And... You're Welcome to all of you who've thanked me.

(I can't believe I never saw that. Doh!!!)
 
Nemo2......I was just about to throw some stones when caution called and told me to first check whether I lived in a glass house. Sure enough, a bunch of thank you that either I didn't know about or equally likely, I once knew about and didn't remember. Put the stones away and went quickly thru the multitude of choices.........discovered how to turn off the weekly list of threads that I hated to see and how to turn on thank you notifications.....I guess I thought that PM turned on would also turn on thank yous or maybe thank yous were invented after I joined.

In any case, now that you've turned on thank you notifications, I thank you in public so that you won't be able to use your newly discovered skills.
 
Why would anyone expect a reply to a Thanks?
I get and receive them all the time, but replies in either direction are very rare.
 
Okay, so I never knew this existed. :)
Just went and looked it up....after I managed to the find the User CP... :)
Um...er...okay so Thanks for the Thanks that I received (I was actually surprised that I had received any because I don't post much and don't have much to contribute when the adults are talking about important topics :) ).
I think I might just be here for some good advice from the group, and occasional comic relief....juvenile at best! :)
 
I reply to a thank you if add'l info is requested. Otherwise I probably won't reply unless you give me a "Thank-you-for-the-thank-you" button... :)
 
Well I'll be dam*ed...looks like an old dog CAN learn a new trick!...although I DO have to admit that I actually had to figure out just WHERE the user control panel was :face palm: and once there, even then had to stare at the screen to figure out that all of the "thank you"s I was seeing were directed at me :LOL: and not others on the board :cool smiley:

OP thanks for the tip!

edited to add...and it should be obvious from this post that I have yet to even master the emoticons on this site!
 
Volunteer needed.

Here is the problem I see with the Thanks button. On my Android tablet the Thanks message pops up. But one cannot get a comment into it before it just disappears. So did my thank you go through? Or did it just fail. I never know as I cannot apply this process to my post. The comment field works fine from my PC.

Would one of you volunteer and I'll send you a Thank You on my Android? BTW, thanks. :)

In doing this with you Redduck I sent 3 thank you's!

1) Had my little keyboard switched on with the Android tablet synched. I was amazed the Thanks! actually worked so this first one went through.

2) The sencond one was similar slip up to the 1st.

3) The third one I turned off the keyboard. It then behaved as I mentioned, going away as soon as someone tries to enter something in the field.

So did you get 3 thank you's ?

OK. This is the one (and only) I received.

There goes your moderators bonus for 2016.
 
It's been a long while now, but as I recall when someone has "Thanked me" I would get notified with a message saying, "You have been thanked." Unfortunately, I cannot remember where the notification appeared. But, the issue is, I didn't have to go looking for it. It just sort of just popped up. (Anybody have the courage to send me a "Thank you" as a reminder to me to see how this works). Several years ago, I tried to send a "Thank You" to myself after writing a wonderfully profound post. But, I learned that you cannot send a "Thank You" to yourself. This definitely needs to be fixed, maybe right after the identification of the OP of thread becomes implemented.

Thanks Redduck, assuming there has been enough time for all 3 emails to arrive to you, I'll have to assume that the Thanks button does not work on my Anrdoid Nexus 7 tablet. To be more precise, it does not work with just using the touch screen. It does work if one sync's up an external keyboard. I have to admit this is probably an obscure point to many reading this . Thanks for helping me with this experiment Redduck.

And to all those who I thanked but never got the Thank You, thank you!. ;):LOL::facepalm:

Just sent another Thank you from my PC. So you should be swamped with these things.
 
I don't expect to get a response to a thanks, unless it is a Journey video sent to HFWR as a thank you. :) For that, anything short of death threats is good.
