Thanks not being allowed on certain boards
Is there any reason why it is not possible to thank posts on the "Economy" and "Meaning of Life" boards ?
I know they were once all under Polite Discussions which once banned such thanks as it contained the political discussions board. However that was changed some time ago and you can still thank posts on the "Current Affairs and News" board.

Re: Thanks not being allowed on certain boards
Moved this to Room 102 because it is more general chat than escalation.
In answer to your question, I am not active on those boards so don't know whether that would have a positive or negative impact, but a good question to ask. I'll chat with the Mods to see what they think. Each board on its own merit. BTW The Meaning of Life board is still in the same debate group that it has always been in.

I think The Economy, since being moved away from Polite Discussions, and now on Investor's Roundtable, should have the ability for Thanks (like all other Boards there).

That makes sense.

I agree.
There was a very good post on VAT the other day that deserved a thumbs up.
Otoh economics does tend to morph into politics and people getting agitated.
But I would be happy to see the Thanks restored at least provisionally.

Well thanks are allowed on the Current Affairs board, where politics are discussed all the time, so I can't really see why they're disallowed elsewhere.

Re: Thanks not being allowed on certain boards
The Thanks button should now be working on the Economy board. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for that. That just leaves, as far as I can see, the "Meaning of Life" board as the only one you can't thank posters on.
Somewhat ironic that you could thank God on that board but not other posters

Gosh! I never realise God posted on that board. Will definitely mind my Ps & Qs in future.

I've left that one for now because it is still in the Polite Discussions group. Although 'thanks' are a positive thing in general, they can be misused where people play to the gallery or try to demonstrate that they have more support than their 'opponent' in an argument.

But the other board in that group, Current Affairs & News, isn't restricted in that way (i.e. posts can be liked).

No "Thanks" on Portfolio Management & Review Board
Not sure if it's an oversight or intentional
Thank you

Re: Thanks not being allowed on certain boards
I think Stooz did a site upgrade around midday today. It was down for an hour or so.
It was obviously a thankless task

Yes, I saw the site maintenance message. Looks like Thanks are now missing everywhere. I think there was also a setting to receive notifications for thanks at User Control Panel / Board Preferences / Notification Options but that now seems to be missing

Has someone calculated the environmental cost of moving emojis? And do they only move when we look at them?
