Board "Corrupted?"

[Bluegg]

When the thanks feature is fixed, will all of the thanks be erased and reset to zero?

I assume not because you can see the stats when you click on an id

if it is reinstated, then my understanding is that the thanks counts will be the same.

Doesn't look like the names of the members giving Thanks are showing up.

mike (the admin) is investigating because this was an unintended "side-effect".

I kinda like it better this way.

I don't because I would like to know which of my posts are getting thanked the most.

Both Sgt Pepper and Jarvis have valid points, so it is hard to pick a side.

Thanks are certainly appreciated by the posters but understand that members are most valued by posting good material. We value all our members who participate in any positive way but the best way to get a good rep here is to post content. We have simple rules and just encourage the posting of relevant content to enrich the board.

As BB has said before, if you can't find anything to post you aren't trying hard enough. It's out there to find. Don't worry so much if your thanks count might get reset as Mike tries to get the bugs out of the software, Post good stuff and you will get the thanks!

I understand where he's comin' from and I agree to an extent, but imo it's not necessary.

Another thought to consider is that with no "thanks" button, people will give thanks by using the "quote" button which will cause pages to fill up faster and make it more difficult for new people to make their first post as most threads will get to 5 pages much more quickly. Personally, if the fake is well done , I will use the quote option since I feel the Faker should be thanked.

I, personally, do not pay much attention to the thanks, although I do appreciate them. I have found that, with things I post, most viewers do not comment one way or another. If I see that people like a particular model that I post, I will make a special effort to find more of that model to post. Usually, I just look through my RS account to see how often things are downloaded. I have found, on numerous occasions, things that I have posted that have been downloaded more than 50 times without any acknowledgement being made on the board. Posting things to get a thank you is, for me, like doing unnecessary things that will pad your posting numbers. As far as the thanks button goes, it seems to me that the Board has been running more efficiently without it. As for thanking someone, you can always send them a PM which can be deleted after being read thereby eliminating the unnecessary use of Board space that was alluded to by swfrooster.

a very good idea.

I don't think people will do that, just come back to thanks posts and use more space...

I can, and am only, speaking for myself:

In the fake section, I have only hit the thanks when I like a fake that the actual fakir has posted. The only other time I hit thanks in the fake section is if a poster posted an exceptional "mega post."

In all other sections, I have hit the thanks button for any post in which I saved a picture or DL'd a video they posted.

Recently I have been filling the database I have with bodyshots posted from that section here, and have been hitting the thanks button quite frequently. Sure, I can send folks like rnguy and such a PM stating that I love their posts, but that does not single out particular ones, and I sure am not gonna send as many (if any) PM's as I would if I were to use the thanks button.

All I am interested in hearing about is if someone would like to see more material by a model (or models) I have posted. Not to sound ungrateful but once I have posted something it does not matter whether someone likes it or not so the "thanks" process is irrelevant to me. But I would prefer to post something that I know someone is interested in before something that may, or may not, appeal to anyone. The only way I can know to do that is if someone lets me know.

I have used the Thanks button when I have downloaded something that someone has posted. I have used PMs when I am looking for something else related to what someone has posted. As I stated previously, the removal of the Thanks button does seem to have improved the efficiency of the Board. Of course, that could be my imagination.
