    exactly, this was one of the mainly reasons why the system is not working now!!

    and "missing the little notes"... sorry, but this is not its purpose, for this we have pm


    and the truth I do not think that not having some points in our reputation, is very important that we stop helping others

    that is so true zahra i still do when i can i like doing it.
    but it did give a bizz and more motervtion (sorry for the spilling) in finding songs, it can be so boring sometimes when you cant fing them which i dont have much luck in doing nor do other people(do you under stand what am trying to say here)

    so this new thanks thing,,,,,,what i have seen so far is, all you have to do is keep going round and say thanks to bump it up like the rep thing

    (sorry i have to take back what i said about giving it ago its not going to work
    its already been abrused i see if thats the case y bother with any rep/thanks thing. and just do what most people do anyway and say it out in the open )

    the people who do the di and translators posts are great in there work they are the ones who should get the rep/thanks thing but ive never seen theres gos up

    am not trying to get round anybody just saying what i think and feel on this

    Hi to all, sorry for the delay with responses...

    Just push a button "thank you!"
    Remember, only for real help you can say "Thanks".
    The situation "- You looks good. - Thank you!" is not acceptable.
    That is why "Thanks" system is not available every where.

    ATL forum is the lyrics forum, so "thank you" allowed for a help with lyrics.

    Is some meaning - yes. "Thanks" system is quite different from rep.system, but in general you are right.

    I hope we can. We have an experience of rep.system. And "thanks" system is public, so everybody can look for which posts you have got your "thanks" points.

    To be honest, it was not an computer technical reason but the ideological technical reason. Do you agree with such formulation?..

    Quote Originally Posted by Zahra2008 View Post

    and members who only was "players" on the game threads had highest reputation than those who actually help others, and being the site of "lyrics and translations" I think that was a little unfair....
    Thank you, Zahra. I totally agree with you.

    The thanks system is for lyrics help, that is why you can't say your "thank you" here...

    Now the "thanking" is available in the "English Worship Song in Spanish translation" forum also

    DM, i think you should come from the begin with your nice reply and say these things..., cuz we NEED it , thanks for coming

    And it'd be super nice if you can put them two, Thanks & Reps, cuz actually i fall in love with the thanks system too and the rep is the way i knew ATL, so it'd be mega boring without it

    ps, there's an english thread in the general discussing, and it needs to have the thanks system!

    I have to say that I used to like the old rep system because it was a way to be friendly, it helped a lot on making new friends. On the other hand it's true that people who really help were not considered in the right way. It was unfair that people who helped had less rep than the others....but I' m sad to see that I don't get any "thank you" even if I'm trying to help ....uffffffffffff

    Hello! I have a question for whoever can answer it. I haven't been around lately too much due to A LOT OF WORK and I noticed today thet I have 1 thanks in one post. Now, God knows where that may be considering my thouands of posts?! Is there any way for me to go straight to that post to see who thanked me and what for ?

    And, on a side note, I also agree with the new system for all the reasons that were already mentioned here.

    You can find that post through your profile under "Thanks". There's an option saying "Find all thanked posts by dya".

    Hello Amigas & Amigos

    I just wanted to say the "thanks" system is nice.., just i have some little comments & questions



    First, it says that there's FOUR people thank for this post, and it showing only three names, so where's the fourth one?

    Second, After "useful post" there's ":", what this means?, do we can write comments?, if soo, how?

    Third, why there's Remove your thanks??, do after i thank someone i'll remove my thanks word?, if soo, why??, i didn't understand this one too!

    Thanks in advance

    Hi!

    I can answer number one: It's me Sorry, I really don't know why or how, but it's been a couple of times that I click to thank someone and it does it double! If I'm the first person to say thanks then it appears as "two users have said "thank you"... but only my name appears ... I'm very sorry for that Orwie, I really don't understand it myself

    Oh, its you lallita? I was expecting that cuz I know you love to mess around, but well, we will forgive you, no worries, actually I thought its something like the rep, it was the more points you have, the more points you give, just wanted someone to clear this point

    There seems to be some mistake with the system .. maybe admins can sort it out

    It is just a part of the one sentence "The Following Users Say Thank You For This Useful Post:"

    Well.. maybe if you change your mind about a post you can "unthank" it

    Dear Orwa, rep.system was a very good thing for all of us. But it was totally inflated

    May be in the future we will turn it on again...

    unfortunately we don't have possibility to enable thanks system in different threads. We can turn it on or off for subforums...

    Private messages system was upgraded:

    - it is blinked in the right corner if you have new messages
    - you can see previews of messages in your inbox

    Please make your suggestions what is wrong with our private messaging system and we will try to make it better.
    For example, may be you want to have a popup window when somebody sent a message to you?

    May be Citlally is right or may be it was some system mistake. Please give us (administrators) a link to such post and we will try to understand...

    No, this is not a place to some comments. The colon means that in the right column you can see who gave you "thanks"

    Somebody can give you "thanks" just for a mistake. And somebody can give you "thanks" not for true help, in this way moderators can remove such "thanks". Please don't worry about it, I hope nobody will add thanks and when remove it, it doesn't make sense...

    Here we can see an abusing of thanks system: http://www.allthelyrics.com/forum/ar...tml#post512660

    http://www.allthelyrics.com/forum/ar...tml#post513736


    User "leftone" gave his thanks for the non very meanings posts.

    I appeal to all moderators to remove such thanking. I appeal to all members to report such unmeaning "thanks". And first of all, I appeal to members who received such not very well-earned thank points.

    I appeal to all, PLEASE, lets keep thanks system clear. Otherwise it will die exactly like the rep system.

    We have the possibility to remove all thanks by choosen user, so it is not a problem to fix "thanks" abusing.
    I didn't remove "leftone" thanks just for example. So everybody can check it...

    Well dear DM I'm afraid that with the "double thanks" has happened in several occasions It happened today again: I thanked Maviii in the Arabic grammar thread and it came out double; and later I thanked Daydream for a translation but it came out normal; and in both occasions I clicked only once! I swear!

    Concerning the private messages I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Come on everybody!! If we noticed when somebody had given us rep points and then went to user's CP to see if there was a little msg attached, then we can also go to "private messages" when we notice on the top of the screen that somebody sent us a pm!
