      I think OP is mentioning about his own posts? You can't hit "thanks" to your own post

        Ahhh, wish I could do that.

        I would have had over 1700 thanks by now

          Are you guys blind. I don't have a thanks button.

          Now having pointed that out to you smart people,
          yes at one time I did have a thanks button, just
          like yours.

            I have a Thanks button... At least until I use em all up again...

            If you see the Edit button on one of YOUR posts, you will not have a Thanks button on the same post, as you cannot thank yourself... That is like mental masturbation...

            You should only see the Thanks button on someone else's posts, not your own...

            If you cannot see the Thanks button on other peoples' posts, log out of the site and log back into it...

                This is how it looks to me:



                How is yours different?



                p.s. Infractions mean nothing, and people don't get banned from giving thanks.

                When I have problems with this forum I log out and log back in. That usually clears things up. If you're using Firefox, having problems with the forum is not uncommon.

                If that doesn't do it, you may have to ask the help desk about it. I've never heard of the thanks button disappearing except when a person uses up their allotment.

                If you can see other folks 'thanks' buttons, and they can see yours, then there really isn't a problem is there? That's exactly how it's supposed to work.

                You might want to try actually hitting the button instead of moaning at the folks who are trying to explain it to you.

                When have you ever known me not to have a funny retort to a question, especially one that seems so obvious to everyone but the OP.

                That is actually a good answer.

                It may seem dumb, but try it before you throw it out.

                Have you ever noticed all those people complaining about 503 errors... This answer fixes that problem...

            I haven't tried to give out a thanks to anyone
            in the last 5 days.

            The edit button appeared out of left field and
            has been there for around 2 weeks.

              I think you get banned from giving thanks. I am not sure. try logging at warrior on different browsers, mozilla, IE, thunderbird, google. If it still, look at your messegas on email, maybe there is a infraction notice about giving thanks to anyone. Hope i help

    You're only allotted X number of thanks per day, or perhaps per 24 hour period. If you've given a lot of thank today your button will disappear. This is only temporary. It will return within 24 hours.

        You have a Qoute , Multiquote, Quickreply and a Thanks button.

        I have a Edit, Quote,Multiquote and a Quickreply button.

        If I wanted to thanks another marketer, I couldn't because
        I don't have a button that I can push.

        That is my question. Why do I have a Edit button instead of a Thanks button?

          That means the button is there only that you can't push it? Or it means that you only got that edit button for EVERYONEs post? Try posting a screenshot for all of us here and see if we can work things out

    This forum has been acting up tonight (for me at least) and I've been seeing some unusual behavior here and there, so your thanks button issue may just be a glitch that will clear up very soon.

    The OP was in a cyber Cafe All Night. And you know what happened?

    He was robbed of his Thanks button by some armed men.

    Sorry, you have lost your button for good. Buy another shirt that has complete buttons.

    So, I would advise you to leave the forum since they have robbed you of your most important button, the "thanks" button.

    Leave! They want you to be counted among the ingrates

    You may want to delete your temporary internet files. It is always possible you have a screwed up cached graphic which is throwing everything out of kilter....

      I'm shocked that after 34 posts, Barry was the first to say this.

      When things are screwed up on a website for you and you only, it usually either caused by cache or internet security software that's attempting to "keep you safe."

      Of course, there are other things that will do it, but more times than not, it's one of these two things. So, make your life easy and troubleshoot by doing the easiest things first.

      Delete cache and other browsing data - Google Chrome Help

      then close, and restart your browser

      test

      if the problem is still there you need to try disabling any internet security applications (firewall, add blockers, privacy managers, etc.) installed on your computer.

      test

      if the problem is still there, do a clean boot (stating with no extra proccess)

      Perform a clean startup to determine whether background programs are interfering with your game or program

      have no idea how to do on a mac, sorry. I know you can boot in safe mode by holding down shift.

      test

      try staring your browser in Safe mode

      Safe Mode | How to | Firefox Support
      Incognito mode (private browsing) - Google Chrome Help

      IE doesn't do it as far as I know.

      test

      if this resolves it, your probably going to have to troubleshoot plugins, extensions, and things of that nature that are installed on your browser.



      STOP HERE

      if the problem persists past here, you need to determine if the issue is with your computer or something else. So, log a ticket with the help desk and test it from another computer.

      If the help desk says everything is all good, or it works fine from another computer, then it's probably something on your computer, so you can keep troubleshooting...

      I'm out of ideas at this point.

      I can probably think of more, but they're not coming to mind at the moment.

      I suggest searching VBulletin forums or getting with firefox/chrome support (IE doesn't really support anyone).

        sorry, again, don't know about mac.

        reboot

        test

        uninstall/reinstall your browser

        reboot

        test

        if it's still not working try creating a new account in windows, then completely logging out of your exiting one and logging back into the new one


        I'm out of ideas at this point.

        I can probably think of more, but they're not coming to mind at the moment.

        I suggest searching VBulletin forums or getting with firefox/chrome support (IE doesn't really support anyone).
        Actually... I totally forgot about that. It seems like a right thing to do. OP should try it. Sounds like it's gonna work.
