This place would be a much nicer place if it had a thank you button

Sometimes I cant be bothered to explain that somebodies comment was useful to me You would probably get drawn in some pointless argument with someone over the fact that you appreciate what somebody as said

If someone has taken trouble to post something you find useful, and you can't even be bothered to type "thank you", then it's not much of a thank you in the first place! Hardly sincere is it...

A sentence saying "Cheers, that was useful", which takes a few seconds to type is far more polite.

"Up votes" and "likes" etc aren't needed. Just courtesy.

I agree but many forums have thank you or useful posts buttons
So I cant understand why this place being quite aggressive does not have such buttons

There is no website team/devs on here. Many sensible things get suggested all the time. None of them have a hope in hell of being implemented.

Does anybody actually run or own this site

I get the impression that some kid made it in his bedroom in 1999 about 8 people followed it.
He got fed up and grew up and just left it
This site became very successful The kid forgot it was his site and still does not know.
It is in cyberspace uncontrolled nobody claiming ownership for it all because of some kid

It does stop the thread being bumped though

good ol' Ted, I'm sure he'll worry what's going on here while he kicks back on the beach with another cool beer after selling to haymarket.

Ah, those were the days, it was friendly and informative with genuine enthusiasts.

Hi,

Thanks for taking the time out to let us know your suggestion. We currently have very limited development resource, so I’m afraid this won’t be something we'll currently look at.

Thanks!
