Can we unthank?

16 replies

DappledThings · 03/10/2023 20:41

I've accidentally thanked two entirely random posts just by having fat fingers. The posters will think I'm odd.

Can we have an unthank toggle on the thanks button same as you can unlike a post of FB?

Does anyone really noticed when they've been thanked?

SkaneTos · 03/10/2023 20:43

I unthanked someone, I think? (I changed my mind) I pressed the Thanks-button again.

I just did it to your post - just press it again and it goes back to non-blue.

I notice! It makes me happy to be thanked for a post I wrote!

Hi OP

If you hit the thank button, it'll undo it! But thanking is anonymous, so no one would think you're odd!

How do you know? Or does that mean no one has ever or will ever thank me Grin

IGNORE ME! Thanking isn't anonymous - but you can unthank!

Is it anonymous? The one time I’ve been thanked, I think it told me who it was? (Or do you just mean to third parties?)

Ooooh I thought it was anonymous- when I've been thanked (... so menny, menny times now), I thought it just said' X users thanked you for this post'. No names?

If you click on the post they liked, it shows you who liked it.

Where are all these thanks? Wait - are most people firing up laptops to use mumsnet and not their phones?

I think it's worth saying that only the poster who you've thanked can see your name.

Show quote history

Ah fab- thank you for that, I'd totally missed that if you click on the Thanks icon in the actual post, it gives the names Smile

Thanks everyone! I must have thanked, unthanked and rethanked in such quick succession it looked to me like unthinking wasn't possible.

I'll get my coat.
