      Great Mike, thanks for the kind reminder.

      Lately you've been tan, suspicious for the winter.

          Hi Mike,

          Thank you for reminding! 😉

          Joking aside; true, it is indeed encouraging for others who devote their time and energy to selflessly share their knowledge and help others for free. Most of the time saying "thank you" is an "award" not substitutable by anything else. 👍

          Gai...

            I have to admit that I'm quite poor at replying to other peoples posts.
            Unless I can say something constructive I tend not to say anything, I don't like just typing 'Good job' or 'Well done' etc. because they invariably don't reflect the effort/work by the original poster....So I don't type anything....Weird.

            I'd love it if we could award stars (like iTunes), that way I could show my appreciation without the need for a 2 word post.

            English doesn't borrow from other languages. It follows them down dark allies, knocks them over, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

              Or a simple thumb up. 👍 I've seen star rating systems on various sites, and they rarely get used properly. Usually just the two extremes, all or none.

                First of all... Thanks for bringing this up, Mike...! 👍
                Although this should be common sense and something that applies everywhere, far too many users seem to forget about this...

                I tend to agree with thomthom... I don't believe a voting system would be the solution...

                The person posting the question should always pay a little gratitude with a small "thank you" note, if someone else have taken time to reply with an answer...

                Or... Treat others like you expect them to treat you... 😉

                Cheers

                  Hi Paul,

                  I totally understand your not typing the 'Good Job' or 'Well Done' etc after reading a post. I am talking about members that post questions, then get comprehensive answers, often with time taking models etc and then saying nothing.

                  I realise that some of these members may well PM the helping member and thank them and that is good but I think a simple 'thanks' or 👍 on the topic would not go amiss and set a good example.

                  Mike

                    Also, if you ask a question, then work it out yourself, it'd be very nice that the person posted the solution so that others that come across the post with similar problem can benefit.

                              Only a little thing but it bugs the hell out of me;

                              Somebody posts a topic that says "Help urgently needed!!!".
                              Plenty of people respond with possible solutions but we never hear from the original poster again. What happened to them? Did everything go well or did they die with worry?

                                Come on, Jon, we all learn a lot from these posts and have fun in the mean time! Who loses anything if not the poster? 😉
                                But yes, sometimes I also wonder what may have happened... 😒

                                  Maybe the help wasn't provided quickly enough and the supervising manager made the necessary staff change... 😕

                                        i think people that ask questions should have to post their address. that way if they don't respond when answered we could go visit 👿 them and explain the error of there ways. 🤣 maybe even model them a fish to sleep with. 😲 or a horse head for their pillow. 😲

                                        WAIT, i forgot SU dosn't do organic very well. never mind. 😞

                                            Thank you, Mr. Lucey.

                                            The thing that helped me show (sort of) good manners here in the SCF was remembering that behind all those curious avatars are real people. And a good resource to understand this were the old issues of CatchUp, which contained interviews with moderators, ruby writers and others. I can't find the link to these old issues right now, but I think they are priceless for newcomers.

                                            EDIT------- Here's the link:
                                            http://www.sketchucation.com/old/forums/scf/catchup/
                                            I wish there was a link to these issues in a more visible place, as they also contain the single best tutorial on using Subdivide&Smooth and Free Form Deformator.
