Do you say thank you?

[Amber4]

I like every post usually as a thanks for taking the time to reply. If it's really long thread I'll just write a message thanking everyone. I often thank posts if I agree with them etc x

 

[maryp0ppins]

No not always. I find the thank button a waste of time and too long to use on the mobile site. Just reply with a general thanks

I tend to thank everyone and then usually write thank you in my reply as well... It's just nice to do.

Double post

I thank everyone if it's a thread asking for advice

 

[xprincessx]

i thank everyone on a post i make

on anyone elses i thank ones i agree with, funny ones, things that people say that are very emotional for them to do so either to get things out or raise awareness to other people etc

I do a bit of both depending on the situation, sometimes I thank everyone individually and sometimes I just post a reply thanking everyone. I wouldn't not thank someone for not agreeing with me either, unless they were rude about it.

I think sometimes its a bit dangerous to thank everyone separately as you might miss someone and make them feel bad. This actually happened to me once there was a lass who used to post a lot about problems she was having and I felt really sorry for her and posted nice messages and advice on her threads and like 3 times in a row she thanked everyone on the thread except me! I still have no idea if she was ignoring me on purpose or what but to this day if I see one of her threads I don't even bother reading it!

Sounds really petty to me now reading that back lol, but at the time it really upset me.

I thank everyone in my own threads, as I appriciate the time it took to read and reply. I do however stop if a couple of people are going off on a tangent and having their own mini convo within a thread. Its not that I mind that happening, it just looks wierd for me to gatecrash that and thank them for that convo when it may not have anything actually to do with me!

I usually thank everybody. Sometimes I make a thread, read the replies, thank them, forget about it, find thread a few weeks later.. I always think people are going to think I'm not thanking them because I don't agree but I am just forgetful If somebody left me a rude comment I'd not thank them. I thank posts on other other peoples threads if it's something I agree with.

 

[Bevziibubble]

I thank everyone, even if they don't agree with me

 

[Sarahkka]

I thank when it's a thread I've started, but will usually peter out with the thanks as the thread progresses or as it is less relevant to thank due to the nature of the post. And on other threads, I thank as a like and when I appreciate good points made.

 

[special_kala]

If I remember I thank everyone who replies.

I hate seeing a thread where the op has only thanked the people who agree with her. It seems childish.

 

[charlotte-xo]

I always thank on a thread I've posted just because they've taken their time to post. I also thank if I agree or find something funny.

I only really use the Thanks button on other people's threads as way of saying "Thanks for posting that, you've said exactly what I was thinking/put what I meant so much better/I haven't time to respond but this is exactly how I feel/Thanks for setting somebody else straight" kind of thing. I don't tend to start many threads of my own but if I do, I would normally just say thanks to everybody in my post when I reply. If a couple of people have replied but I'm waiting to see if anybody else does before I reply, I will sometimes click thanks just to acknowledge the replies already there, to show I've not ignored them. I wouldn't ever go down a thread with more than a couple of responses and thank them all, that just seems to take away the meaning of it (which to me is to thank somebody for a particularly good post, not just general thanks for replying).

But then to be honest, I never notice if somebody has thanked me for a post I've written. I just read new replies, I never go back to check my own posts in a thread.

 

[WanaBaba]

I tend to thank everyone as it means they have taken the time to read my thread and reply. xxx

This x

 

[DanielleM]

I used to but now I don't I tend to write a little thank you to everyone at the end of the thread!!

 

[mum22ttc#3]

When its my own thread then I will Thank all replies whether I agree with them or not.
In other peoples threads I use the Thank button if I agree and like what they have said.

 

[TwilightAgain]

Sometimes I do. Depends on the thread. If I know its likely to be a long one then usually I won't. But otherwise yes or i'll thank people by writing it in a post.

On others i'll thank if I agree with something.

 

[bump2be]

I like to thank everyone who takes the time to reply to my posts. Even if I don't agree with what they've written I'll still press the thanks button.

I think it's a bit rude to only thank certain people in a thread. It could lead to those who aren't thanked feeling excluded which is hurtful.

The only time I wouldn't thank someone is if they are deliberately being mean or rude.

 

[Bittersweet]

I try to thank everyone
