I've seen this since the update, but what is it about?

it's just one of those "fun" features that allows you to publicly thank someone w/o typing it out. Part of the updated forum software. It doesn't get you anything extra, it's just cudos.

Ok, sort of similar to the "like" button on Facebook I suppose. :)

I haven't figured it out as it looks like I thanked myself a time or 2, but haven't clicked on the button.

I just thanked you just for being you AMX! Be careful, thanking yourself is illegal in certain counties. :tongue:

Ok, I just checked it again. It doesn't show who thanked you, it shows 'what' 'which reply/post' was thanked. I'll get it someday. :)

I see it as showing who thanked you, it's under the "PM and E-Mail" buttons in the post. It also says you were thanked under your forum profile. I just gave you a thank you on your post to see it.

Also, if you click your user name on the forum post it says "view profile" and there is a link to view all the thank yous the you've gotten. You're right it doesn't show there who thanked you, but it does have a link to the post that you got thanked on and that's how you could see who thanked you.

Ok, I see it now. At the bottom left of MY reply, is where the 'thankyou' info is that shows that YOU thanked me. Got it. [thumbup]

Back at you.

edit: it even shows me that I just thanked you. :bounce:
