Using "Thanks" vs "likes" and when to give reputation

[elly]

I'm not entirely sure about the difference between "thanks" and "likes" though I assume "thanks" are more intensive. Also, I don't know when to give reputation. For example I've wanted to give deranged chipmunk one for helping with a tricky problem once but I wasn't sure if it was appropriate.

Also, I apologize if I've overlooked this in a faq somewhere.

You can give any as the mood strikes you I usually give reputation on especially helpful or interesting posts, and sometimes just when I think a member deserves more than they have. I forget to use the 'thanks' option most of the time.

Okay thanks. Sadly I've missed some really helpful posts but I'm going to keep this in mind in the future.

Yeah, thanks for reminding me, I'll be on the lookout for "reputation worthy" posts. See, I gave you a thanks

i use like and thanks more often than rep, but only because i spend more time on tapatalk, which doesn't support rep i do tend to give rep out to people who deserve it. it may not be for a particular post, sometimes i will give for a silly post because i can't find the post i wanted to give the rep for. i guess what i am saying is that if you feel someone deserves rep (fluttering eyelashes), then the post doesn't really matter, you can put a little note in when you give the person rep. they will know what it is for

Oh campaigning for Rep are we (fluttery eyelashes....... nope can't do it).

I usually like posts when they are nice, helpful, and are what I like to see on the forum. I never use the "Thanks" because...... I just never do. I give reputation out when it is deserved and take it when its not. If someone is particularly helpful, gives solid advice, and is active on the forum I will try to give them rep. I also give Amy rep for... well thats a private joke :P

FYI- On the gray tool bar---just above the reply area - you can use the "Rate This Thread Tab" of which will give you additional options.

I tend to post from tapatalk as well as I'm often out and about with my busy schedule. As Bill has mentioned, rep is not on option on tapatalk.

I use "like" anytime I think a post is nice, has nice photos, or just pleasant in general.

I use "thanks" when I feel someone is being helpful to another member, or when I am thankful for their response.

Ok, my computer crashed and burned a couple weeks ago so I haven't been on... but am I just daft or has the "Like" feature gone missing?? I like Liking things that deserve to be Liked, and now I can't Like things! O_o

When the forum was hacked and repaired, the "like" feature did not return. Admin is aware though, hopefully it's back soon.

Hi friends,

Yes, the forum was hacked and we lost our "like" button . We are also having trouble with the photo uploader. Our forum founder has been made aware and is working on the issue. He is currently busy preparing for a new job and moving. We are hoping to resolve the issues soon. So sorry for the inconveniences :/.

I was wondering what happened to the "like" button! I think we need an additional person with some coding experience... I better get moving on my HTML learning lol
