Thread: Thanks and profile

Hello out there...

I am trying to adjust to the changes made lately and have a question or two if I may.

1) Other than the obvious how do we use the "thanks" option. For example I can see how many times I have thanked or been thanked. How can I tell what I have been thanked for? The only use I can find for this feature is to know what posts of mine have had a positive effect and I am not about to search through all of my posts to figure out which one(s) they are. There must be a way to do this and it escapes me a present. I truely hope there is or the addon is rather useless.

2) The new user profile that we see when clicking on a member name.

ie. Zoints and Meebo

Do your forum members know what these things are? Do you? I was intrigued by the fact that the Zoints profile didn't have any information from my User profile other than my name. So I ended up googling Zoints....it's interesting. But I would prefer that I didn't have a forum spreading my information over a network. I post what little I do about myself for the members here, and I would guess anyone who comes looking hard enough for it. I don't however want it cast across the internet on some silly networking scheme. If I want myspace I'll go there.....oh yes can you get rid of it? Because even thought I know I can change the privacy settings that is not the point.


EDIT: I would like to point out that if my post seems hostile it is not intended as such. I have not edited what I wrote just added this. I happen to be getting tired of all the sharing of "public information" these days and that may have come out in the post. I run a forum and I know what it takes you guys are doing great.....ok, other than this one
