OT. What's with the Thanx thing?

Well, the title said it all. I must have missed something.

Don't know, but I don't like it. I've been typing "tho" alot instead of the full word "though" and even that gets on my nerves!! I'm pretty anal about certain things though!

Must be part of the upgrade. There are also stats under our names with how many times we have thanked/been thanked. Popularity contest???

Seems like its fine to me. I can see how some would turn it into a popularity contest, but some people will turn anything into everything..

okay....now I see the button at the bottom. It never hurts to say thanks, but it would never have occurred to me to keep count?!

Okay, now I have been thanked. How do I know who thanked me and for what? Or is this a "let it go" thing?

Well I am a bit on the obsessive side, so I could just make a little motorize do-hicky to sit on my keyboard and thank myself all day long. Is that considered being good to myself? *lmao*

Seriously, theres no way to tell who thanked us?

Im a codie, Im obsessive. I feel the need to find the person who thanked me, thank them for thanking me, offer my assistance to them without them asking, then when they dont thank me again feeding my need for approval, I will get hurt and feel angry..I will find someone else to "help" so that THEY will thank me.

I think it would be nicer if thecounter was hidden.

I like saying thanks but don't like it displayed under my name much.

BTW - I thanked someone and they thanked me straight back so now I'm scared to thank anyone else...

I hate the counter, if it was just a little way to send a note without adding to a post I'd like it, but I HATE THE COUNTER!!
