View Full Version : Hey, where's the thanks gone?

Now I`m not bothered about getting thanks, although it`s nice.

But I use my user cp to search for posts I`ve said thank you to when I do a fresh install or install on someone else`s box.

For example about a year ago someone helped me get midi working. I do a fresh install, go to ubuntu forums, click on my name, click "All posts thanked by nothingspecial" and scroll down to find it.

Can we at least have that feature back?

I guess the reasoning is to stop beginners following bad advice from users that know naff all about linux or computers in general but happen to have a lot of thanks <ahem..cough..cough:-\"> That seems like good practice, but I`ve not written any of it down. How am I supposed to do all the things I`ve asked for help with before? Ask again?

btw does anyone know how to get midi working?

Moved to Forum Feedback & Help.

And the Thanks Feature has been temporarily disabled while the Admins work through the database issues we've been having

Ok, I nailed it, use "find all threads started by......"

Bit more of a trawl but gaf

fair enough, there is another way.

Ok, no problem. I just got stuck getting midi working on my brothers pc. Got it now.

Thanks for your response.

Is there a possibility that the thanks could be lost?:eek:
