I've been coming to xda for couple of years now researching and what not never posting but wanting to thank lots of members. Always wondered why couldn't. Finally decided to see if anyone else had problem and low and behold not only one.

Thanks to this post found my answer.So big THANKS TO EVERYONE OVER THE YEARS.
[About XDA developers] ChillFactorz:
Same thoughts, I have been quietly reading up on all the tid bit that came down the pipes. This is the first time I ventured down the General Path. I usually go straight to the device forum I am trying to fix, always somebody else phone, I as have Blackberry. I am hopeful that I will be in a position to purchase a new Android device, soon. I only played with a Sony x10 and the newer Nook Tablet. Now is the time to thank others.
[About XDA developers] deepnijjar:
I was wondering why thanks button is not showing to me , thanks to this useful thread i got the answer ...
[About XDA developers] Isovitisgr:
Lol! I thought it needed 10 comments for the thanks button to appear! I ve been a member for a long time but I just read things cause I am not that experienced user, but since I need only one comment to get it, here it is! After all I have to thank "zbwu86" for making the big effort for the camera solution on ICS!

Been using XDA for a couple of years and I, myself was wondering just this, there are alot of people that deserve my thanks!!
[About XDA developers] borowsky:
Thanks very much, I've been wondering how to thank people. I should have read the new user thread.
[About XDA developers] leeds_shrew:
Haha. This is the thread I was looking for before I annoyed TRusselo!

With a site like this, though, there is a definite second class of users (not like under-class, merely other-class) - users who do not develop / are not capable of contributing helpfully to development who simply use the site for the amazing tutorials and to take advantage of other people's time and effort by using their workarounds/roms etc. There's a certain catering for these users (like me) in that they can't post to development forums etc. but aren't there enough spam filters in the registration section to ensure that I'm not a piece of malware?

1) I'd like to be able to thank without posting - keep the limits on (or have it limited to say 3 a day before a certain number of posts and unlimited after say 10 posts) to avoid people thanking themselves too much (is that really such a big deal anyway?)

2) It should be clear at registration what you have to do to get the thanks button - in my case this really was all I registered for.

3) Why, if I can edit my own post, can I not delete my own post? There really was no need for me to have annoyed the thread starter when I had realised straight away that I'd actually posted in an inappropriate place.

I'm sure this applies to lots of people who search, get tired of searching, ask a question and then find the answer waiting for a response.

The other major thing which would cause people to post inappropriately is the fact that a Google search will take you straight to a thread without you going down through the layers. You can easily get into a thread without realising that the answer to the question (which someone has a go at you for asking) is contained (quite obviously when you know) in a parallel thread (or even that there are parallel threads).

I, and I'd imagine, lots of people in my situation really don't want to write pointless posts (e.g. to get a thanks button) or post in inappropriate places. A delete button really would help this as it is easy to make errors like this (especially if you're tired after a day of successfully researching and installing your first custom ROM). The other thing which could help would be to be more strict about the threads noobs can post in. I.e. you can only post in the Q&A thread unless you register as a developer or something.
[About XDA developers] tonedepear:
Yes, this explains why I have no thank you button. Noob. :( Sorry/thank you!
[About XDA developers] Jaylee_clueless:
I am happy that I came across this post. I have been wondering why I couldn't see the "phantom" thanks button that everyone else seemingly could! I was hesitant to ask for fear of looking stupid. Lol. :o

I am kind of confused about the "needing one post before seeing the thanks button" because I have already posted before... :confused:
[About XDA developers] JK503:
Thanks

I have wondered this for awhile. Thanks for explaining.
[About XDA developers] BillTheCat:
LOL!

I thought this post was proposing a button that would score a 'negative thanks' for all those people who can't mange to contain themselves and add a post to a thread which doesn't answer the question, asks an entirely different question of their own, offers useless advice or is totally OT.

Such a button would get plenty of use around here, I think. Maybe it's an idea whose time has come. :D
[About XDA developers] Fahnix:
I fully agree. I think that people would think twice about some of the things they do if it wasn't just an infraction that they have to look forward to. But I think that a "no thanks" button would be abused by the same people that we would be instituting it for.. still a great idea though!

[About XDA developers] dbrickg:
I'm deliberately misinterpreting the subject of this thread. The first part "no thanks" seems like a good idea in itself. We've got a thanks button, to cut down on the number of contentless "thanks" posts. How about a "no thanks" button, a "thumbs down" button, to cut down on the number of "boo" and "off topic", etc posts?

Thanks Button NOT WORKING --

Hello, am I to assumed that the Thanks Button is NOT working? I have read several pages at the beginning of this thread and at the end and understand the premise of the Thanks button. I have used it numerous times from my computer (PC) and have received no credit for any Thanks in my Statistics area. :confused:

Does Thanks work on PC at all...?? Please advised as did not see that it was not working just not visible at times. I also want to make sure those that helped me with my issues are thanked for all they did for me! :o

[About XDA developers] mikef:
If you are good enough to put out a good kernel and keep it updated then 10 constructive and helpful posts in a Q&A or General forum should be a breeze.

Edit: In addition, consider this: You get a new phone and you go out on the XDA forum for that phone and you see a post for great new kernel by someone with 2 posts. Do you A) eagerly download and flash this new kernel? or B) consider that this person has no real history on XDA and that you have no good reasons to trust that their work is well and competently done? Hmmm..... not trying to be mean but really really think about this.....

Come on people, it's simple.

Make your first post and the Thanks button will appear.

If the button doesn't appear, you're probably viewing the forum on Classic view (which others have mentioned). Simply change to a different forum layout and the Thanks button will appear.

Please stop using this thread as an attempt to gain a few posts towards your post count.

No thanks button

---------- Post added at 06:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:22 AM ----------

Here's what fixed it for me.

Log in!

In the xda developer's section at the bottom of a page change to the 2013 beta page template.

Make a post whilst using this template.

Then reload, or try another xda thread and the thanks button should be there.

I prefer the 2015 template, easier for me to read. So if I want to say thanks to someone I change the page to 2013 beta, click, and then go back to 2015.

Works for me but why doesn't the 2015 template have a thanks button?

[About XDA developers] JVH3:
Is it possoble for xda to change the 90 day limit at least for post #1

I think you should be able to thank any post. Otherwise, very useful, but old tools can never be thanked. At the very least post #1 of every thread should always be thankable.

Just because a new thread has not been created for a new version does not mean post #1 should not be thankable.

I just recently found a great tool to let convert an hv hile (binary) to hvm which is readable in notepad. I wanted to thank the OP on post #1 of the thread, but I could not.

There is not a need for a new thread for this tool or a new tool, so it should be thankable forever.
