Dan, can you explain why you get points and why my points are much higher than my post count

Just curious

Cheers

John

I might be able to help a bit.

You get 1 point for each post on someone else's thread, 3 points when you post a new thread/topic and 5 points if someone thanks you for a post.

I think that's it but I'm sure someone else will confirm/refute that.

 

[Privatedoc]

Ahh....excellent....come on folks, thank me for asking ;-)

Or me for answering (but only if I was right of course)

and 5 points if someone thanks you for a post.

Which I think is all too often overlooked on this forum. The last forum I was on had thanks and groans buttons but I prefer it here where there's just thanks (groan buttons create too much animosity on a forum).



So come on people, there's a lot of great posts on this forum, show your appreciation and hit the thanks button..!!

Yeah, I have to agree. I do tend to thank people for particularly helpful posts but I admit I don't use it enough. And it's not about the points either, just a case of showing appreciation for someone's assistance/knowledge etc.

Agree.....Thanks where due.....must remember, its the polite thing to do.

 

[bugbabe34]

I mainly use my iPad though and unfortunately the thanks button is not available

 

[Privatedoc]

yes it is , just make sure you are viewing in classic rather than mobile mode (at bottom of webpage)

I hate 'Mobile' versions of sites....harks back to the old wap site days, no need with todays displays.

 

[bugbabe34]

Classic mode looks so old fashioned compared to mobile. But you're right, this is actually the only site I use the mobile version of weirdly!
I must remember to switch if I want to thank someone

 

[Dan]

I find mobile mode ok for iphone but think the full site seems to work fine on the ipad so just use that

I keep pressing the wrong things when I use classic. And by the way Privatedoc I am worried that the next time my GP turns to her computer and starts rattling the keys I am going to suspect her of checking out a forum! She does sometimes seem to stare at the screen for quite a long time.

yapmaul...my secret is out.....actually its not too bad here today, I run a 7am surgery so just finished that and catching up with some prescriptions/etc before I start another one...I'm sure my forum checking, like my order checking will decrease when it arrives!

I wouldn't bet on it! Anyway, I thought you were thinking of ordering another one. That should keep you waiting until after Christmas!

 

[Privatedoc]

Yup, going on sat to probably order a 5 door for Mrs privatedoc...will keep you guys posted !

David Gray will be happy to see you Privatedoc. He said things (business?)had been quiet when I spoke to him on Saturday.

 

[SiJ2000]

I always wondered about the points, so that's useful to know!

$10,000 dollar question is how fast can he get us one!......spoke with him this morning....of course the whole thing could be scupperred if she decides she wants an automatic.......if so, I guess a polo might be better although dearer and less economical to run.
