    Default Thanks gone?

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

    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

    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.
    As it was now, it was causing problems with our software because it was still a 3.x plugin which is no longe being updated by the developers.

    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.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    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.
