What's all this 'Number of Thanks' rubbish ? Really tacky. No thanks.

Ha! I have been wondering the same thing myself.
Maybe we old farts just don't belong to the "kinder, gentler" generation that requires constant "reinforcement".

lefty, I agree with you 100%. I wanted to post as you have done when I saw the gizmo arrive on site but I didn't have the guts to do so in case I offended some timid soul somewhere.
Us both being British, I suppose it is not a thing we feel necessary. I personally, am more concerned with making my posts spelling & grammatically correct than using these 'new age' patronisations, (although I am guilty of using it once).

Sorry lefty, I forgot to thank you....
It's the SOH equivalent of the "like" button on faceblurt
Expect banging, belching and an occasional manly fart as you roar down the runway at full power. (I have found that the engine can make similar noises)
Thank all of you guys for your input. This is something new we are trying. We tried this just to see who would be fussin....lol....is it working?

It's all you trendy young whippersnappers in Admin, Mike........
Anyway, even if I wanted to (which I DON'T), I wouldn't know what to tick !
Thanks for the support, guys. Maybe I won't be drummed out of the Brownies for sedition after all.
I saw the "thanks" thing a few days ago but I wasn't sure how to use it. I appreciate everybody's input here at SOH, but when somebody answers a question or helps me with a problem or uploads a new plane I say thank you in person by posting a response. I prefer doing it that way.
I have seen this on a number of different forums in the last month or so. Something new.
Its not new vBulletin has had it as an option for a long time.
We have only just recently turned it on to let members Thank another member without having to post.
Its a great feature that if you choose not to use it is not in your way.
For those of us who would like to use it we like it.

Dave - with respect, it means b****r all, because you haven't a clue who 'thanked' you, or for what !
(and still nobody has told me how people are doing it - there is no 'thank' button on any posts I can see...)

Now...if there was a button that would forward a box of chocolates, a cold sixpack, or a bag of hammers to a real address......that'd be usable.
Just goes to show that there are people that would complain if they were hung with a brand new rope!
Yup, thanks...
Actually, I would like to thank all the guys that run this site,
and all the guys that make such interesting and helpful posts!
