What does "Thanked so many times" mean here?

Guess its to see how much you contribute that is helpful, compared to just posts saying "yeah i agree" or whatnot. Its an indication of how meaningful the posts are that people have left. Hope that helps.... you can thank me now! hehe

The number of thanks is the number of times that you have pressed the "Thanks" button at the bottom right of someone else's post.

Thanked x times means the number of times that other people have pressed the thanks button on your own posts.

I often use the thanks button to support a position that another member has taken on a particular subject. I will add a thanks when someone has posted information that I find I can use, or that I thibnk I can use. I will add a thanks when someone answers a question that I have posted.

A lot of the time people are posting with something like "thanks, that helped me too" and then everyone who reads the thread has to read that post. If you just press the thanks button and don't post, you save making the threads longer and still let the poster know you agree.

There are other uses for thanks. The number of thanks given for a particular post is presented at the bottom of each post. If you open a thread and see an OP with a lot of thanks, you can get an idea of whether the thread is important or not. As you skim through, if you see a post in the middle of a thread that has received a number of thanks you know that someone has taken a position that others are either supporting or are at the very least glad to have discussed.

Thanks is both a voting system and a way marking those members who have been helpful.

Hi,

I click the thanks button when YOU

• Add value to... whatever
• Make me laugh
• Make me think
• Agree with me
• Disagree with me nicely
• Disagree with me rudely (just to confuse you)
• Perform a kindness for someone
• Give me a great idea

Etc.

If you are not logged in at the Warrior Forum you will not see the buttons, including the thanks button, at the bottom right of each post.

If you find a post helpful while you are browsing the forum you can click the 'Thanks' button and the poster will receive a credit as being 'Thanked.' If someone clicks the thanks button for one of your posts, you will get credit.

Basically, the thanks button shows that you are a conscientious forum member and user as the thanks are given entirely on a voluntary basis from other members.

A pat in the back for giving good feedback "Helpful Info" I always do this when i found someones post very informative !!! carry on... and do the Thanks button... would'nt hurt LOL

It means that you provided good advice to people so they thanked you for it.

Its a popularity contest thing, if a newbie offers advice, he will most likely no get a thank you button hit. If an oldie offers the same advice, lots of people will hit that thanks button. It means nothing...

I just thanked you for asking this question, hope it helps explain it a little better for you

When someone writes a helpful post or just a post you really like, you hit the thanks button. Try it .... here on this post

If you write a lot of helpful posts, people will thank you ... some will, at least.

My wife came into my office earlier and give me a big ol' kiss for no reason...so I clicked her thank you button.

It is an indication of how reliable and useful your comments are to the community and also a great way of building community and networking by endorsing others. So when you post, don't SPAM, be useful and add good content because your little post just may very well be the catalyst to someones success here on the warrior forum. Also if somebody has helped you and their information has been useful then by all means thank them. It only takes a moment.

It means that the information you have given to a particular post is relevant and that it was useful to the postee.

Many people though spam "I agree" etc.. posts to get more thanks and higher post count, so I would think twice about giving thanks for this one.

Ah i was wondering just the same thing.. that clarifies a lot

If you are in this forum just to wait for people to thank you for your posts, you are simply wasting your precious time because you may never get one.

Success here, just like in any other forum or field of human endeavor, is not determined by how many times you are thanked.

I have always found Perry Marshals newsletter's to have good content.

After reading this thread i am intrigued to sign up to Paul Myers newsletter.

For my own part, I think it is more important to have given lots of thanks than to have received lots of thanks.

Often I will see advice being given by someone with a low post count. If I also see that the individual has been here for awhile and has given a lot of thanks, then I may lend more creedence to poster's message, without needing to disect the advice first.

In a sense, the number of thanks given is an indication of the number of posts the poster may have read through, whereas the number of thanks received could be an indication of the number of threads he/she started. Of course, now that I've explained that all of the newbies will start thanking everyone for everything just to push their thanks count up.

On here as in life, i'd like to think the expression of thanks is a demonstration of gratititude, given unconditionally and received with appreciation.

I'm guessing it has somehting to do with recieving value and
wanting to give something back in return - ya know? similar
to telling someone thankyou face to face? lol

If you really want to thank me, why not "buy me a beer"?

A for me I like to give thanks for really valuable information. "Thanked post" is a motivation for me to write really valuable information and contribute to someone's life. So still I have to learn and write a lot of valuable posts to become warrior forum guru. ^)
