First and foremost I respect all the mods and devs on this site, great job. What I dont like about this site that I can only thank up to 5 times and that really sucks, I really wish you can change this or up it to at least 10 thanks.
Many Thanks to all of you

It's a redondant request, and all the time we says that's enough for xda members.
You don't need more to avoid thank's spam and thanks to excessive.
That's why you have 8 thanks per day. Before it was 5..
You get 8 thanks per day, and they renew after 24 hours or so. Each thanks is independent of the others,
so if you give someone a thanks at 3, and then another at 4, those will renew at 3 and 4 the next day.
If you run out of thanks, then save that page in a new tab and give thanks later when you have one available.
If you use them all every day you are doing it correctly.

Thanks
I'm glad to hear that
Nonetheless, requests should be placed in this thread.
Change your sig to #removethe10char if you want xda to remove the limit!!

Hello
Hello greeting everyone
If you seriously can't find a way to structure a sentence so that it has more than 10 characters in it, don't post.

The 10 char is indeed annoying at times, but it forces people to make threads more meaningful than "yes!" or "thanks", etc. These short posts really add no value to a thread, and we try to keep them to a minimum.

Well I never meant that it wasn't possible. Just unnecessary to make posts with less than 10 characters. In most cases if offers no contribution to the thread.

Yeah, I was agreeing with you, whilst pointing out how pointless any post less than 10 chars really is .
Its a rare occasion when someone can make a meaningful post with less than 10 chars, it has happened but those people can figure out how to add some more.
Anyone been annoyed by the 10 char limit should look at the quality of thier posts

Not that thanks are an indication of a user's status or stature on XDA. Some of the most important people here have a lot fewer thanks than you might guess.
I agree some of the old school have very few thanks(not around then), but have contributed more than some with 5000+.

Channon did a huge amount of dev work back in the WM days. There is a "who has the most thanks" thread in Off Topic and even mike names off alot of the old guys who would have more than him and the rest if the thanks meter had been around since then.
And anyone knows why i have 0 counts in my profile about the thanks gived, when i give someones?.

Welcome to the wonders of the English Language
actually he does kind of have a point
"Find all thanked posts by xxxx"
It does suggest that it is going to show you all the posts that have been thanked BY that person
Of course if you change the context a bit it means something different but I guess as he pointed out the literal meaning is a bit inaccurate
Don't you just love English, words have a different meaning depending on which way the wind blows
I don't know of any way to tell which posts you thanked, but in the XDA app on the phone you can tap More, Profile and scroll down to see total thanks which is the number of times you have thanked people, followed by the same number of thanks you see in your profile on the website.

Here's the official announcement for your reference.
http://www.xda-developers.com/announcements/introducing-the-thanks-button-on-xda/
Then, the Thanks meter, placed above the avatar, keeps a count of how many times a user has been Thanked. The meter gets more difficult to increase as it gets shaded in. For example, to go from 1 to 2 thanks “bars” is much more easy than going from 2 to 3 bars. To achieve 10/10 bars, you must be thanked 10,000 times. We might adjust this scale, but we have the feeling that some XDA members might get to 10 bars in just a few months.

Whoops, misread it. It seems even more impressive now that I've taken a look at his started threads. He's only made a few ROMs for relatively unpopular devices (especially compared to mike) and yet he's got 15K thanks? Those must be some absolutely AMAZING ROMs

how to get the stars
Hi,
Sorry if this has been asked before, I could not find the information I was looking for.
I am a senior member and I am limited to 8 thanks per day, this had previously been more than enough for me. However I started a thread that has been published all over the web and is featured on xdaTV it has had 76,000 views and 1000 post in only 2 weeks. Here is the thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688538
Since starting the thread I keep running out of thanks, many people have made a great contribution to the thread and deserve a thanks from me.
Is there anyway I can get more thanks? If I can get my user rank upgraded would this give me more daily thanks.
Sorry if I don't thank you for your replies lol, I'll have to thank you now in advance.
Regards,
Oliver
i dont know if an upgrade (maybe to recognized cantributor) will give you more thanks, but if you are using tapatalk or/and tapatalk based apps like xda premium you dont have any limit....

I'm using both lol, seriously, I got xda premium and liked it so much I then bought tapatalk.
The apps say I have thanked the user, but they are not thanked. Probably just a little bug with tapatalk.
If being a recognized contributor would give me more thanks I'd appreciate that, how do you apply or do they contact you?
Cheers for your reply mate,
Oliver
Being an RC doesn't give you any more thanks for now but we are requesting an increase in the daily thanks limit. Check here for more info on the RC program.
i dont know if it will give you more thanks, but anyway read this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646309
Thanks to all for your replies,
It would be nice to be recognised for the contributions I have made to this forum, but not important for me. I would have expected being recognised would increase your thanks privilege. I feel 8 per day is enough for most users but no not for RC's or myself
Looks like I am stuck at 8
Sorry I cant click your thanks buttons.

We may get a few more at some point, but the reason it is limited is to prevent it from becoming too devalued. What if everyone had dozens or hundreds or thousands of thanks? Besides, we used to only have 5 a day just a few months ago.

I understand that, but members who rarely post get the same as RUs who often write 10x as many posts. Surely RUs deserve more at least double?

We have requested that but are awaiting the mods and admins decision. If not, then no big deal. I just won't thank snarky or funny posts as much which do make me laugh, but don't add real value to the site.
Bumping to ask if there is any action on increasing the amount of thanks.
8 just isn't working
Maybe I'm a serial thanker, yet it's slightly frustrating constantly running out on some of these dev\help\guide threads.
Any consideration for an increase from the top would be a very good.
Curious as to why the number 8 vs 10 or say 15 :fingers-crossed:

Alas, Cataclysm has "died" before in the days of the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4. Atl4ntis disappeared for a year or more then and reappeared magically for the N5 and gained a large number of users. However, if he can't hack the stress, it was hardly fair to build up an even larger keen collection of users on FOUR different devices. I'm bitterly disappointed, but sadly not surprised. At least he gave his reasons on Pushbullet.
This is a sad day...... for me and the rest of Cataclysm users.

Thanks. I think I see his point about fairness, but man, does he have to be so nasty about it? Seems like he didn't really need to insult anyone, except maybe the XDA mods that he felt were unfair to him. But perhaps he feels it's a race thing (who knows, perhaps it is).
Anyway, it's too bad they couldn't solve the problems without going ballistic. Hope it turns out to do something positive.
This is all just sad...

Yes, and there is a fact. His method 'cata-mod' is and was very original. So I am confused too, and do not understand the moderators concerned. Especially because a thread with discussions about the 'why' is also closed.
This is not a simple 'not following the rules question'. Apparently we are dispirited to talk further.
I'm very sorry for Atl4ntis and Cataclysm.
He's been a very kind guy, always keen to answer help and fix bugs,
His ROM has been the best I've ever seen so far: a lot a customization, great features, great stability. A great balance.
I hope he will eventually be back, but he will be always remembered as one of the best guys and modder here!
