Don't ya just hate it when......
some folks ask for help / advice on this forum, and get an abundance of
answers (some good, some bad) and then never acknowledge the replys? Come on, now, people.......... Feedback is a good thing
because the rest of us can find out what worked and what didn't,
and it's just plain good manners to say "thanks".

Some people post a thread at work one day and don't have a chance to get back to it that day or the next.
But the general spirit of the Forum involves a tremendous amount of
and

and such.
Sorry if you had a bad experience. I don't know if I saw the thread that prompted your post, but, let's face it, there are a lot of threads here

Sorry Steve - I think you're expecting too much. Our society has become rather ill-mannered. My boss is very fond of reminding me that I'm not the etiquette police and you can't judge people by the standards that you set for yourself.
So - if you've given me advice and I didn't acknowledge it or say thanks - Thanks!

ill-mannered parents
ill mannered parents produce ill-mannered children very basic,but I will say that I am more polite face to face than in an open on line forum.I just like to keep it short an to the point, the less words the better.I think we should let the forum police create a thank you smilely.

Overall I think it's not as bad as you think. Some post new threads to say thanks. To ensure people read it. Some posts get so long that not everyone reads the whole thread. My .02

You bring up a good point. After reading your thread I immediately went over to the tech area and posted results with a thanks to a minor issue I was having with my tires. Saying thank you is good but like someone else mentioned, sometimes people don't even remember how they helped a fellow member much less whether they were thanked or not. The real benefit lies in posting results when a problem is presented and several possible solutions are recommended by forum members. This way, when others with a similar problem do a search and find the thread, they can jump right to the answer without having to try some of the things that didn't necessarily work. Figure, while you're at it posting your results, it definitely wouldn't hurt to say thanks.

Saying "Thanks"
I am new to this forum and am amazed how much great and useful information I have gleaned just from this short period of time that I have been on. Everyone is great and I am very appreciative to all who take alot of their free time to be so helpful to everyone.
I try to say "thanks" in advance whenever I'm asking for assistance.

Responses would be great to let us know if things worked, but I'm as guilty as the next person in not taking the time to provide feedback. I'll have to try harder.

From: Edmond, OK...One of the first rules of online forums: If you don't like what is said but can't refute it, attack the poster.
I always try to thank everyone that helps me. Sometimes tho, I can't find the thread I posted on and the active topics search doesn't always work.
