Why can't I "thank" anymore?
I've noticed I can't "thank" on posts, and can't see them anymore. I loved that feature. Was it removed?
And if the thank feature really is gone - Thank you all!!!!

i find it so interesting what comes up in response to the missing thank button.
never having liked that button and having noticed how it felt to me like a bit of a popularity contest and how, despite not liking it i sure liked getting some thanks, i found myself at times getting caught up in that.
and now that, thankfully, it’s gone, i find at times i miss getting a thanks or two.
oh what this has showed me about myself!
and oh how i like not being the least affected by if any post of mine ever gets a thanks. there is more freedom without that button. it can be rather tough on a person who rarely gets thanks to keep posting when they see others’ posts with lots of them. it would discourage some from participating.
i find it more inclusive this way.

Personally, I miss the like feature. For me it was an easy way to add support for someone else's post. Also, I often had nothing new to add so making an actual post was just a repeat of what others have already said.
That said I appreciate what fini said. Never thought of it that way because... self-centered. Thanks for the right sizing. Need I say more?
