notification would be a nice feature, but there were no notifications with the karma system either. i think i had something like a million karma points and some nice (but dated) comments before i learned to check my cp....

News to me. I must have done it in my sleep.
What the heck is "thanks?" and who thought that was better than Karma? also, why did all the Karma we've accrued just disappear like so much dust?
I think it all started with this thread. :duckingandrunningforcover:

This post below explains it.What the heck is "thanks?" and who thought that was better than Karma? also, why did all the Karma we've accrued just disappear like so much dust?
Almost the same as the rep button but now you can acknowledge a POST and NOT just the person. I kind of like this "Thanks" button better in a way.
msmofet, there is no difference between the old rep system and this new thanks system that I can see. You could always acknowledge a particular post, that's how it worked. The only difference with this new system is that the points are different. There is the potential for this to be different, but so far...its the same deal, you just hit a different button.

The old way you ackowledged a post too though. The only difference I see between the two is that the old was had a different scoring method which took into account how much karma the person giving you karma already had. The new way is just one point per "thanks".

OK I must have it wrong then.
You're right, they have "Like" I thought that was what this was going to be.

i think i goofed with several of my early attempts to "thank" people today. i only recently became aware of the little sendoff message that gets clicked at the end....if you didn't get a "thanks" from me today, well, maybe you actually did....

I thank people often.

how do you respond with a comment to a person who has "thanked" you?
Since you also receive a PM notification of the thanks - you can respond to that but I'd like to suggest that maybe this is being over-thought (collectively). Thanks is a nice (positive) way to agree with a post or thank some one for posting.
Unlike the old reputation system where points became competitive this allows us to focus on the more important aspect - being kind to each other. Each members comments are valuable and no one's carries more weight than another this way.

I don't remember ever seeing posts form members soliciting karma or boasting about karma totals. Seems like a non-issue.
That's what I was thinking.
Well I want to see if the notification thing is working. Someone hit me please.
