I sometimes use a different name on threads to the one that's stored in the settings and which would be used automatically if I didn't overwrite it. Eg my name is set to smellypig (not really) but just for this thread I've overwritten it with Pixiedust1234.
I assume if I thank a poster without posting in that thread they will get a notification that smellypig thanked them.
But if I've posted with Pixiedust1234 and then thanked a poster for responding to a question in the same thread, which name will show up - smellypig or Pixiedust1234?
Hopefully you understand what I'm trying to ask 😂
