Why not have a range of buttons:- 'no' 'thank' 'you' 'what' 'he' 'said' 'plus' 'one' etc to reply you could just select the appropriate buttons therefore negating the need to type a reply. Hey there could be quite a few buttons.

what usually happens is that they click thank you, then write a post that also says thanks, compelling you to click thank you on their post for thanking you. I thank you.
Thanks for that. I won't waste anymore of my time, and will know the next time it comes up.
Sooooo, the list for newbies would include not only a crib sheet for all the acronyms, and one for all the smilies, but one for all the assorted thankyou buttons ?
Just learn to type a few words

(see what I did there

Generally these threads die a quiet death on their own. Folks have their say, no one takes umbrage, things just move along peacefully
cheers,

Oh don't give up. As you'll see on this thread soon enough, there are also a number who would embrace the idea. Tony may never change his mind, but I'm sure he won't unless interest is expressed often.
Persistance doesn't overcome dislike. It becomes nagging, and nagging sets teeth on edge.
Chill, no hassle bringing it up on occasion, just don't make it something that really raises hackles. Especially in light of the Boss's statement on the issue.
Even the folks on dial up and on their phones manage to post a few words here; it's hardly an issue.
cheers,
Toddy.....who got rained off playing outside again

I don't see an issue with with a like option.
But what this forum actually needs is a trader rating system. I like to trade with a little confidence and although a high rating won't save you from a scam/fraudulent member it will add a bonus to us legitimate members.
Especially with such high priced (ego boosting!
) woodlore knives and stuff up for sale at time in excess of £400!
Again this has also been discussed and the few potential negatives apparently out weight the positives!

That's an idea that has a practical appeal
British Blades manage sommat along those lines, don't they ?I think we got rather burned of the idea though when one of the most prolific sellers did a bunk a few years back
people still mention how much he ripped them off for; nice fellow too, t'was a shame 
Buttons... I have caramel ones just now
Surprisingly good cheers,

Good luck, but I think you're flogging a dead horse.
Forums reflect their members/members reflect their forums; you stay with the forums that reflect your attitude to the subject or you go find ones that do or you start your own. Everybody's happy then. 
Agreed. And usually it'e resurrected by new members who haven't seen the previous threads. Fortunately it usually stays civil as you suggested earlier, and each time it gives a new show of interest.
The "votes" against are usually also civil but TBH it does annoy me when I see comments such as, "Not this again!" Not just regarding this issue but all subjects in general. Part of why we're here is to pass on to new members whatwe've already learned and they are going to bring up subjects that may be old news to us.
Good luck, but I think you're flogging a dead horse.
To a large extent, yes. But we also measure our interest in any given forum an more than a single issue, especially a trivial issue.
Who are those poor sods?
I got it in the neck not so long ago for posting a link and it was a snitty reminder about those on dial up
I thought that had gone the way of the dodo but HWMBLT, aka Techref manual No.1, tells me I'm just spoiled 
There's also apparantly something called the Mid Wales desert where the cables are strung along the fence lines and their connections time out with appalling regularity. M
I've never heard of the Mid wales desert before, and just googled the pictures - some stunning images makes me want to go for a walk.
Thank you......
and i'll throw in a 'like' as well.....
[see what I did there]
