Title: Thank-you function missing
Post by: Teutonic_Tamer on October 17, 2010, 02:27:52 pm
In the Technical sub-section - http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/board,35.0.html - there is no 'thank-you' facility like in other sections of the forum. :sad1:  Why is it missing, and can it be enabled?

Ta.

Hey - sorry mate - but there was no need for the sarcasm! :sad1:

So - would you mind considering my request please? :smiley:

OK - I've just notice you've sorted it - thanks, much appreciated.  :happy2: :drinking:

I've noticed another two sections of the forum also have the 'thank-you' function missing:

http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/board,34.0.html - Cosmetic/Interior Modifications

and

http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/board,23.0.html - Shows, Events and Meets

When you get time, I'd much appreciate if you can enable this, TIA. :happy2:

Do we really need so many "thank you" functions?  :confused:

Don't see the point in it myself. I expect the Know-It-Alls get a nice, warm, fuzzy feeling of superiority when the Know-Less-Than-Thems show their eternal gratitude by clicking that little button, though?

in actual fact most people never click the thankyou,  but it doesnt stop any of us helping out if we can  :happy2:
very few on here have a know it all attitude on here imho, we can all be taught a thing or too now and again   :smiley:

It's just manners and common courtessy to show your appreciation.  Afterall, if someone can get a thank-you for how to use photoshop, whats wrong with the same for technical help? :smiley:

Says he who has recieved, but also given, quite a large number of Thank You's:

Those who don't like it can ignore using it, but it is as Sean says, good manners and common courtesy to specifically thank someone who has helped you.

I raise a finger (not my one-finger salute) or a nod to those drivers who stop for me on a pedestrian crossing or who let me out at a junction etc etc and I enjoy it when say a biker acknowledges my road courtesy etc. It spreads positive vibes and goodwill and there's too much discourteous and inconsiderate behaviour in the world nowadays. No wonder some folks go around with long faces.

What goes around comes around.

Or hit your Italian (or Italien?  Its early!) Air Horns in the middle of a German (or Belgian) town, when a load of Sausage Munchers  were doing a funeral march across the crossing.

....Er? I don't remember that.

A very short sound on the horn, Italian or otherwise, is usually interpreted as non-aggressive and, according to the circumstances, even friendly. The car horn, when it has character as a sound (oem Golf ones are very monosyllabic and dull imo), can be used to express a variety of emotions including of course aggression. It's also an excellent safety aid when used to alert people (such as pedestrians) of your presence - It's alarming how many people roam around with no awareness of what's going on in their immediate vicinity. Having spent a lot of time in Italy and living in Greece, I do notice how most English people typically think that any use of the horn whatsoever is rude. I guess it's English reserve.
