Disabled thanks system again

[jimnyc]

It's still bogging things down. In the past few days it's been taking me 20 seconds or longer just to check them, which will result in others getting slowdowns with other things, like searches.

There is another thanks type program out there that I want to try. This one actually has more options, if we use them, AND also allows to import the current thanks numbers from this one. I'm hoping to at least install it, and then import them if it works, and then test it out sometime today. I'll let you know when done or if the new one is installed and working.

Good luck. And...hope the new program has that 'quote notification' feature I'm so fond of.

Testing now as it's installed. I only activated the "thanks" portion. It has a "likes" too but I don't see what the point is having both, same with "dislike". I am also currently trying to import the old numbers.

I'm not sure on notifications, although I think you'll get them somehow. Maybe someone notify me, or another, and then update here? I know if you go to someone's profile, there is now a tab for the thanks/likes to see them.

Seems like you may get a LOT of notifications right now, like for every thanks you ever gave and a shitload of mentions somehow, likely from the posts you were thanked in. Just go to and ignore I suppose.

Are you saying this isn't true?!?

Don't feel bad, I have like 600 notifications thus far, all good for nothing!

I was wondering which post garnered me 170 thanks, lol.

And now can't even test properly until it's done.

Obviously you guys can see the thanks button underneath the posts, and it's in your profile as well. And "if" we end up staying with this, I can update the navbar with the "recent thanks" to get to the profile page faster.

Over by your post total after each posts, there is a plus/minus sign, you can click that and it will list your current thanks, and thanks given. I believe the second set of thanks, just below that, would disappear if I completely disabled the other version, which I'll get to...

Yeah, it flashed a number like 42 or something. Nice reminder...hehe.

Crap, we are a little more than half way through the import process. It's at about 60,000 and there are 151,000 lines to import. Sorry for the lame notifications, it's best to just ignore that number until this process is completed.

So it's not just ME?

Don't feel bad, I've been here a little bit, I got about 20,000 notifications yesterday!! LOL At least I was clearing them out as the import was going on though.

Nice little ego boost! You tend to forget all the 'thanks' you get until you see the number en masse....lol.
