Excellent WF answer but no "THANKS"? That Sucks!

Stefan Vee · 06-08-2009, 05:48 PM

Here's the situation...

A fellow Warrior posts a question
You, the expert, provides an excellent answer.

The original poster doesn't even bother to reply, or to hit the "Thanks" button

Now, knowing you provided a great answer, that sucks!

I think many warriors lose track of their original questions/threads.

Here's a quick solution.

When you post a question, subscribe to your own thread (thread tools)
This way, you will never lose track when someone provides an answer.
Just say "thanks" when someone really does help you out with a helpful expert-answer.
A simple click on that "thanks" button is all it takes.
And it's FREE as well!

George Wright · 06-08-2009, 05:56 PM

LOL, Nice idea, and...

personally I hit the thanks button if someone makes me laugh. I like to laugh so I reward the poster. I click thanks when someone who is usually grumpy is nice.

Niceness should be rewarded. Now we need a your welcome button to hit when someone says thanks

George Wright

Marc Rodill · 06-08-2009, 05:59 PM

Hey! Don't tell me what to do!

Thanks by the way!

Marc

PS. Not everyone functions in the same way, it's just one of those things. Some people have probably never hit the "Thanks!" button, it's not that they don't care... it could be for any number of reasons. I say give 'em some slack!

Jenn Dize · 06-08-2009, 06:11 PM

What a nice reminder

We often forget to be appreciative of others' thoughts...and it's so important to -- especially when they've helped us out!

Good reminder, and thanks

I like that idea. Well put George.

Gambbit · 06-08-2009, 06:14 PM

I'd say I agree.

In a community, we must appreciate other's contributions and hitting the thanks button is just a small thing we can do in exchange of the valuable information we get!

Steven Fullman · 06-08-2009, 06:16 PM

I normally cringe...

Whatever. Great post (reminder)

Well worth a thank you.

Jenn Dize · 06-08-2009, 06:16 PM

No one thanked me

*sulks*

Just kidding

Edgar Moreno · 06-08-2009, 06:17 PM

I just now saw that button that says Thanks. I may need to go back and thank some people. I could see how someone gets annoyed when they spend a certain amount of time typing a response just to get no response.

JustaWizard · 06-08-2009, 06:40 PM

Hey Stefan, I agree - I always hit the thanks button AT LEAST because if someone takes the time to give me an answer, I figure the least I can do is thank them!

RainDrop · 06-08-2009, 06:42 PM

Thanks for the tip about subscribing to the thread... I will go find my posts and do that.
Stupid question- where is the thanks button?? Seriously, I can't find it!!

Steven Wagenheim · 06-08-2009, 07:01 PM

My thanks is knowing that I've helped somebody.

No thanks are necessary.

When you get to 5 posts posted, you will see it (it's to the right of Edit, Quote and those black buttons on the bottom). So next post you make, pretty much

vuedoolor · 06-08-2009, 07:15 PM

someone break my thank virginity

how do you subscribe to your own post?

Neil Morgan · 06-08-2009, 07:16 PM

I'd just prefer it if people I'd helped took a little time to answer a question that I later posted.

Often times no-one can be bothered for some reason.

All you ever do is take, take, take

Cheers,

Neil

Steven you are one of my faves on WF,I have to agree, but also say this:

"If you don't get a thanks or even a reply, then how do you know you helped them"?

I spent 30 minutes giving away one of my most solid business plans the other day ( re: telemarketing) and even references to people I personally know, who would help this guy to get some contracts, and I dont think he even went back and read the answers...!

I was really hoping to hear that my advice benefitted him. Would've made my day, especially being that I was the only one who responded to his question.

It's nice to know that you actually helped someone.

All I want to do is help too, but it's nice to know that you actually helped someone.

I understand that side of things. On the flip side, most people don't take
action on your advice anyway, so to expect that you've made a difference
is asking a lot. Thus, I just post my words of wisdom and hope that they
make a difference.

Sometimes, it's all you can really hope for.

Kay King · 06-08-2009, 07:45 PM

I think of "thanks" the same way I do compliments - if you have to ask for them they aren't worth as much as if they are volunteered freely rather than as payback. When I give them it's usually not because someone answered but because I liked that particular answer.

I appreciate them when they happen but don't think of them when answering a question.

kay

Lokesh Sharma · 06-08-2009, 07:49 PM

Hey Stefan,

No offense there but you've been thanked 22 times while you've thanked only one guy.

But then, you might be expressing your gratitude if someone helps you by posting a reply.

Regards,
Lokesh Sharma

SolomonHuey · 06-08-2009, 07:53 PM

There is also the possibility that they didn't like your answer. :P

But yea Steve pretty much hit the nail on the head...

Solomon Huey

Robert43 · 06-08-2009, 07:55 PM

Thanks to anyone I've missed!
I've learned a lot from so many people here ... and I learned something tonight!
I didn't know I could "give thanks." Maybe I didn't have enough posts before ... or maybe I was oblivious!
Either way, THANKS!

I guess you are right. It's better just to give and move onto more giving!

Another question: How much is too much when it comes to thanking others? I have a tendency to want to thank everyone who gives me the courtesy of an answer, because I genuinely appreciate their time... just trying to learn proper WF etiquette.

tommygadget · 06-08-2009, 09:08 PM

There, I spread some of the thanks around. Time for a group hug

TomG.

PS - It IS good to get a thanks if you put effort into a post, IMO.

Ofthemix · 06-08-2009, 11:55 PM

Oh man, and I thought I might be overdoing it on the thanks. Glad to know people appreciate it. For a while there, I had thanked more people than I had created posts.

The Warrior Forum is filled with great helpful people. I think anyone who has said even something remotefully helpful to me, even if it's just encouragement to keep me going, deserves a thanks.

Tsnyder · 06-08-2009, 11:57 PM

If you started the thread... or responded in it... I don't think
you have to subscribe. Go to your subscriptions and see if every
thread you've posted in isn't already there.

I have to clean mine out frequently.

You know this has irked me for some time now when I read a thread where somebody has obviously taken time out of their most likely busy day to give a great answer and there is no response from the original poster and/or no thanks given either.

However I had not considered the fact that some people might lose their thread, or as stated later here that they either can't give thanks or don't realize they can give thanks, so thanks for opening my eyes - I shall not feel so irked in the future

mywebwork · 06-09-2009, 12:38 AM

I'm always happy to be able to assist a fellow Warrior without expecting any reciprocation. If they are kind enough to hit the "Thanks" button then that's the icing on the cake!

embrown · 06-09-2009, 12:55 AM

Its funny, I totally forgot about the subscribe to thread option. I've been going to my control panel and searching for posts I've made. Also, it took me a DAY to find the blasted thanks button (yes, I'm alittle slow at times.).

But it feels good to be thanked and I agree with the OP!

jasonl70 · 06-09-2009, 03:48 AM

what bugs me more is when someone pm's asking for help, and then never says thanks afterwards. I've sent code to people, and then never heard a peep back from them.

Even worse - I've pre-paid for services just to help someone out, and no services were rendered. I've offered to JV with several newbies to some of my larger lists (10k), and had them never deliver (all they had to do was fiish the product they were working on).

The world is full of unappreciative people...

ken_p · 06-09-2009, 03:54 AM

i totally agree with you. i just simply go back to my statistics, and click on the link that says, view all posts started by you, if i wanted to go back to my previous questions here in WF.

Fernando Veloso · 06-09-2009, 04:12 AM

I just want to drop a bit fat:

Thank you guys!!!!

I know i usually miss the "thank you" button so here it is, a public muito obrigado to everyone who helped me out and i forgot to hit the button.

Shakul · 06-09-2009, 04:20 AM

These days, hardly anyone bothers to say "Thanks". Whether it is online or offline.

Many people just quote the post and say thanks in the reply. I am wondering if is it possible to make just a modification, that if phrase like Thanks you .. are posted by one in a reply... Then forum automatically shows a notification to the user that if he/she wants to say Thanks, then he/she should press the Thanks button.

Anyway, it really doesn't matter whether they press thanks button for me or not, because after all, if i really helped someone then they knew it, and I assume, my reps will automatically increase for the person to whom I provided my help.

After all, even I am a human, and sometime even I feel disappointed that person never pressed Thanks button...

Shakul

artwebster · 06-09-2009, 04:45 AM

I'm not too concerned about being thanked - what really makes me annoyed is when my answers are totally ignored because they are not what the questioner wanted to hear.

I have seen many 'thanks' being expressed for complimentary posts - especially where someone has asked for a 'review' of their site. It shocks me that, rather than be honest, reviewers will post any old smarm in order not to discourage the poor guy who just set up a doomed web site.

These smarmy posts are doing nobody any favours! The poor guy now has a doomed web site which he thinks is really good and it won't be long before his supplimentary question "Why isn't my web site working?" gets posted.

TMG Enterprises · 06-09-2009, 09:08 AM

It is nice to get thanked but I don't feel that it's necessary. Often it isn't the original poster that gets helped the most but the people who come along weeks or months later that take the most out of it.

Sometimes I think that some people think of the thanks button as a popularity contest or that it somehow makes them look more knowledgeable if they have a lot of thanks. As a matter of principle, I almost never thank those who have requested thanks in their posts.

I must admit to a certain amount of awe/pride/? when I was recently thanked by one of my IM idols. Silly, I suppose, but it did make me feel good to be thanked by someone that I respect so much.

ltdraper · 06-09-2009, 10:11 AM

I try to thank people and have been thanked a few times, but I still haven't figured out where to spend them.

JP Wilson · 06-09-2009, 10:28 AM

No doubt about it. Just like in the "real world", saying thanks is a common courtesy. When someone takes precious time out of their schedule to, if nothing else, at least attempt to solve my problem, the least I can do is take .03234 seconds and hit the 'thanks' button! Great thread Stefan... Thanks!

Droopy Dawg · 06-09-2009, 10:30 AM

Coming from a poster that has thanked all of 1 person LOL!

Just kidding OP... good stuff. here I even thanked YOU.

Well, you can't thank yourself if you help someone else, can you?

And "yes", you're absolutely right. A simple reply does wonders too.

marcus passey · 06-09-2009, 11:53 AM

You know I gotta remember that thankyou button I have met so many helpful people on here and it wont hurt me to hit that button.

I have asked so many questions on here and everyone bends over backwards to help,one day I hope I can be one of those guys who can give something back.

This forum is priceless and I love it,I may spend to much time here but all the same I love it!!

And a big THANKYOU for all those who have helped me.

cheers

Tom Brite · 06-09-2009, 12:12 PM

What annoys me even more is when i post a really use full thread full with information and then instead of people clicking on the thanks button (even the older members) they instead reply saying thanks. Okay at least they said thanks but still i like my thanks button to be pressed too :P

Now, knowing you provided a great answer, that sucks!

So, it sounds like you had wanted to get a 'thanks' for the great, excellent answer you gave, even though IMHO, everyone should strive to post excellent responses, or at least provide something of value when responding to a question in a particular thread WITHOUT caring whether or not a 'thanks' is given!

It's like the old adage.."Don't go looking for love...let it come to you!"

Oh man, and I thought I might be overdoing it on the thanks. Glad to know people appreciate it. For a while there, I had thanked more people than I had created posts. The Warrior Forum is filled with great helpful people. I think anyone who has said even something remotefully helpful to me, even if it's just encouragement to keep me going, deserves a thanks.

That Sucks! Its funny, I totally forgot about the subscribe to thread option. I've been going to my control panel and searching for posts I've made. Also, it took me a DAY to find the blasted thanks button (yes, I'm alittle slow at times.). But it feels good to be thanked and I agree with the OP!

That Sucks! what bugs me more is when someone pm's asking for help, and then never says thanks afterwards. I've sent code to people, and then never heard a peep back from them. Even worse - I've pre-paid for services just to help someone out, and no services were rendered. I've offered to JV with several newbies to some of my larger lists (10k), and had them never deliver (all they had to do was fiish the product they were working on). The world is full of unappreciative people...

These days, hardly anyone bothers to say "Thanks". Whether it is online or offline. Many people just quote the post and say thanks in the reply. I am wondering if is it possible to make just a modification, that if phrase like Thanks you .. are posted by one in a reply... Then forum automatically shows a notification to the user that if he/she wants to say Thanks, then he/she should press the Thanks button. Anyway, it really doesn't matter whether they press thanks button for me or not, because after all, if i really helped someone then they knew it, and I assume, my reps will automatically increase for the person to whom I provided my help. After all, even I am a human, and sometime even I feel disappointed that person never pressed Thanks button... Shakul

That Sucks! I'm not too concerned about being thanked - what really makes me annoyed is when my answers are totally ignored because they are not what the questioner wanted to hear. I have seen many 'thanks' being expressed for complimentary posts - especially where someone has asked for a 'review' of their site. It shocks me that, rather than be honest, reviewers will post any old smarm in order not to discourage the poor guy who just set up a doomed web site. These smarmy posts are doing nobody any favours! The poor guy now has a doomed web site which he thinks is really good and it won't be long before his supplimentary question "Why isn't my web site working?" gets posted.

That Sucks! It is nice to get thanked but I don't feel that it's necessary. Often it isn't the original poster that gets helped the most but the people who come along weeks or months later that take the most out of it. Sometimes I think that some people think of the thanks button as a popularity contest or that it somehow makes them look more knowledgeable if they have a lot of thanks. As a matter of principle, I almost never thank those who have requested thanks in their posts. I must admit to a certain amount of awe/pride/? when I was recently thanked by one of my IM idols. Silly, I suppose, but it did make me feel good to be thanked by someone that I respect so much. Tina G

Just like in the "real world", saying thanks is a common courtesy. When someone takes precious time out of their schedule to, if nothing else, at least attempt to solve my problem, the least I can do is take .03234 seconds and hit the 'thanks' button! Great thread Stefan... Thanks!
