Maybe I'm missing something, but is anyone else missing the 'Thank' on posts?
Is this permanent?

Thanks for the memories.
Thanks! I guess nowadays "like" is the new "thanks". We are yet to try "agree", however I would like to agree that thanks, like like, agrees with my understanding of thanks in that agreeing and liking like and thanks usually end in agreement.

Maybe I'm just an old-fashioned guy who misses rotary dial telephones, car engines that a guy could work on in his back yard and good manners. It seems to me that a "thanks" is worlds away from a "like". I might see an interesting razor someone posted and give them a "like". But, I saved my thanks for a posting that made a particularly good point or expanded my knowledge in a particular area. If someone walks by in a colorful shirt I will say, "I like that shirt". If that person gives me the shirt I will say, "Thanks for giving me such a nice shirt". BRING BACK THE "THANKS".

Not a problem. As soon as you're done with making it not cause database errors it'll be back :)Quote:

Gentlemen,
When I was young, it seems in the XIV Century, my mama told me to always be a good boy and say, "Thank you." Of course, I said it in Assyrian and Farsi, but the meaning was the same. It was polite. It is still polite to say thank you, especially if you mean it. It's the gentleman's way. The natural and logical answer is always, "You're welcome." Nowadays the proper "You're welcome" is replaced by the weird "No problem." What next?
Oh, now the proper "Thank you," the same one my mama taught me, is replaced by "Like." What's this? "Like" what? I'm afraid to ask my dear friends in the dazzling SRP offices high atop Park Avenue. I probably will not, for I fear they might come up with an esoteric response to "Like." If one is in the works, I wonder what it is? Let me see:
"Like."
"Like you back."
"Like you back twice."
"I said it first."
Gentlemen, "Thank You" for reading. Oh, sorry, "Like You" for reading.
I have heard that the response those gormless twits are planning to institute is "Like Yo Momma Like!".Quote:

Dear Obie,
I hope you will excuse and forgive me, but I don't have the hart to respond to that with the proper response :)
Ah well, my dear gugi, what're you gonna do? As folks here in the province say, "It's a crazy world, aina?"Quote:

Indeed, my dear gugi, indeed. "Like You" for your thoughts.Quote:

"Ladies and gentlemen of the board, like you for coming to the meeting . . ."
Well Obie first you have to realize Like has many meanings and additionally the connotations can be misleading and get you in a heap of trouble. Why many folks confuse "like" with "lick". You now like I like to work but don't want to do a lick of work and then you like to thank me for the great lick I just did only I didn't. As a result you don't like me at all but might liken me to some uncomplimentary comparison.
Now you can tell someone you "like" them which can have mighty troubling consequences or you can tell them they be "like" meaning they resemble that chimp at the zoo which can get you into many more bad situations.
See wasn't that easy? Now you understand and I like that might fine.
I remember when all these "thanks" etc ideas were hotly debated prior to implementation, with some people (gormless and and astute alike) firmly against them. Others (the winners) were in favour. It seems we are a firmly conservative board - we want what we already have and do not like either adding to nor subtracting from it.
Change, gentlemen, is all around us. Some change is necessary, some is simply desirable, some imposed from on high, some by consensus. You cannot change change, and even if you could change change changing change is itself change, so by changing change you are by definition changing things anyway. You can't change that.
If you liked this post, please "Thank" me for it. .....Oh, wait.... If you thanked this post, please "like" me for it? That doesn't sound right - sounds a bit desperate actually... Anyway, you get my point I am sure.
James.
The like button is so meaningless without the "That post really sucks button!"
thebigspendur, my friend, anyone who confuses "like" and "lick" is beyond a new paint job. Time to re-decorate.Quote:

Tell you what, you get the 'thanks' vb plugin updated so that it is compatible with VB 4.1, and I'll see if we can bring it back. :)Quote:

EDIT: I see Gugi beat me to the punch.
Anyway, we disabled it by necessity because it was causing problems that we couldn't solve without effectively redesigning it, which is more than we have time and resources for.
Looks like its back!! ;)Quote:
