You've been thanked

[WhatFlavourIsIt]

Is this new? I've never seen it before. How do you thank someone one a thread? Are posters thanking everyone who commented on the thread? Is it the same as liking a comment on Fb or similar 🤔. So many questions.

There's a little icon under each post that says thanks. You just click it on any post you want to thank. I doubt people are thanking everyone. Just the posts they agree with but you can do whatever you want to.

At the risk of staying the obvious you click on the button called thanks 😂

I use it as a like/ agreement thing.

I actually like it. It gives acknowledgment when you’ve taken time to post something usually useful / funny etc

My highest count for thanks was in the 40s and it was a post about dishwashers 😆

There isn't any be on the app though, so not everyone will have that

I use it as a like & a thank you.

I think it’s lovely.

I dont really understand why anyone uses the app, it doesn't seem to have many features

I can't see this on my app. I also can't see the voting. I guess it's to do with the app provider?

Exactly. It's why I don't like it. It's a back door to a 'like' button, which has been resisted for years.

What am I missing - why do you use the app when it has so little functionality, I'm intrigued

It's a way of acknowledgement for a nice comet or useful tip . It's on the icons on the bottom of each post on my view, using android phone and not on mn app.

I have just thanked you , tap on the icon and my name will pop up

I don't care too much about those, other than the Edit feature. I really wish the app had that!

For me, I'm mostly on my phone, app works better, and easier to navigate. There is so much pointless rubbish on the website.

This is what it looks like to me

I don't have a thanks button but thanks😄.

I use it when I want to say thanks. For example if I ask a question and a poster answers it.

I don't know, really. I just thought the app was the was the best thing to do when I was downloading apps onto my phone. What do other people do when using MN on their phones? Do you use the website?

I quite like the thanks button.

I absolutely do not need an update email from Mumsnet about the thanks I have received.

Thanks.

This is how it looks to me...

@minipie - yep agreed I don't need an email. Turned off notifications now. I was waiting on a work email today & twice I got an email notification, stopped what I was doing to check & it was bloody mumsnet with some useless info.

I got 4 yesterday and today! Didnt think I had said anything very illuminating! Clearly I spend too much time on here.

I'd rather use the app without the features than look at that god awful cluttered website.

I can manage without thanking people - the app has what is needed to read and post. I don't think much more is required.

Occasionally I thank some random post instead of the watching icon (on my phone).

The difference is that only you and the poster you're thanking can see they've been thanked, so it can't turn into a popularity contest.
