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

    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.

    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

    Default Re: Using "Thanks" vs "likes" and when to give reputation

    I'm a Facebooker-- bookie? So I tend to like when I like it if I like it, and sometimes I can like a lot If I don't agree with something, or don't view it as particularly like-worthy I won't like it. I will use "Thanks" when I really truly want to thank someone for a post-- when the thanks is for something to do with a post of mine I will almost always make a thank you post to go along with it. If the post is not about me but I am really glad someone shared the info I will use the "Thanks" button. I'm still cutting my teeth on "Rep" as well, but it's like a bonus that goes along with "Thanks"... if the info was exceptional, or the way someone handled a given situation was, or if they just had a REALLY awesome post or did something amazing, then I will give good Rep. You can trust I will never leave someone a negative Rep due to some knee jerk reaction or to be spiteful or mean, that's just not me, but if someones actions were just too reprehensible to be ignored, well there you go. I would much rather leave good Rep for someone though!

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

    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.

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

    Ya it was hacked a few weeks ago I believe, it was hacked by some moron. Who hacks a site were people talk about frogs all day, someone was very bored I believe. Anyway I see you were gone while this happened and that you have purchased a new computer so I was just wondering, are you able to get into everything on the forum? Or do you get the 404 error on some stuff? I was getting that error after being hacked but then cleared my browsing history in my settings and im now able to get into everything but the care articles.

    I was getting the same error messages on occasion until I cleared out my browser history/cookies also. It seems to work just fine now.

    Thank you Amy, I did the same thing clearing everything and it worked except for the care articles. I will try to do it again tonight and maybe the second time around it will work.

    Same comp actually, but with a new hard drive. I get the 404 on the care articles and Frog TV, also I'm getting an X'd out icon on some things, like Amy's pic of her Gray TF on Photo of the Month. Hackers suck!
