Thank function

Good idea but absolutely pointless if there is no way of alerting the person who has been 'thanked' without them revisiting their post as who actually does that?!

When I’ve been thanked it pings up in notifications. (Top right of phone screen on web page) Or at least it did yesterday.

I’m using mumsnet via webpage not the app.

How strange. I've just downloaded the app before you said this

I’ve just looked at settings in the notifications area. There is a toggle button for switching on notifications of differing scenarios - one is for the thanks button. Maybe yours is toggled off?

Maybe Mumsnet will explain

I have never used the app, only the webpage. I can see "thanks" in my notifications.

I've just checked thanks to you. Are you on premium by any chance?

I'm not on premium and I get notifications on the web page of any thanks.

Ok, thanks. Maybe Mumsnet will explain. I've checked my settings and can't see it anywhere but it seems it must be.

No I’m not on premium. Just the basic webpage.

Hi @PerfectYear321 if you're using the desktop site, click on the down arrow in a circle to the right of the word Talk on any page. Then click on Customise, then Notifications, then select Web Notifications. At the bottom of the list you'll see: 'Notify me when others have thanked my posts' - make sure that's set to Yes, and then click on Save Settings.

Hopefully you'll then be notified every time someone hits Thanks on one of your posts but do let us know if you have any problems.
