							| Good morning Victor, 
 Do you think it �s possible to arrange a  �thank you � button on the download page and a message like "your work is appreciated. X members have said  �thank you �."? Or something like that?
 
 I was thinking it may ease some of the differences in opinion between members about what the  �comments � are used for.
 
 Have a wonderful day.

							| Hi, Victor Good evening, almost good night
 
 That is what we can say a quick answer.
  All the best and again,
 Thank you for what you have accepted as your job
 
 
 
 
 Hi, Alien,
 Good morning, afternoon, evening, night
 as the time you read me shows up
 
 That stuff of the special button already exists, haven �t you seen it around? Every now and then, when you download there is a place where the number of downloads rises, if it rises, it means someone " appreciated "
 Now, when someone is really polite, something slightly different occurs. The download number rises and, in addition, you get a comment, showing a special thank you.
 That is what civilized people call education.
 We never take anything without saying  a SPECIAL thank you.
 We don �t click on a button to thank. That is the difference.
 
 
 As you told me, some days ago, you like wandering around and "I may be a bit of an agitator at times, but I really try to be helpful... well, most of the time, anyway."
  
 Just like me
 Hugs

							| Hi Olindalima, Oh, I know about that & totally agree! However, there have been many concerns expressed about  �comments � again in the forum. It �s a recurrent bugbear. I �m one of the members who believe comments should be constructive, not just an endless stream of  �thank you �... it makes it hard to find useful information. Just check the following links if you don �t believe me!   Thak you for your comment though! It �s always good to get some constructive & helpful ideas!   Have a good day too! |  13 May 2009

							| Hi everyone! Well the same happened to me: I posted a worksheet that has been downloaded and I �m still expecting some comments on it; not to thank me but to know teachers � opinions about my work- I will deeply appreciate that.  Have a good night! Ver�nica |  13 May 2009
