In summary, the conversation discusses the increase in the number of "Thanks" comments on a platform and the lack of a prompt for these notifications. The user is surprised by the sudden increase and questions if they had missed the prompt before. They later clarify that there was never a prompt for "Thanks" notifications and express their gratitude for the comments.

Whenever I get a PM, I see a red underlined "Messages: 1" signal.
Yesterday, when I looked at my "Thanks" count, I sensed that it had gone up by one.
When I checked, I had at least a dozen "Thanks" comments, which I had not seen before.
I went all Sally Fields for a moment.

Have I gone senile, or did there not used to be "Thanks" prompt?
Or is it a less subtle signal?

ps. Thanks for all the Thanks!
pps. I like you too!
:smile:

How could it go up by one if it didn't exist earlier?

It is there for as long as I remember (that is, since thanks were added).

There was never a thanks prompt, just that the number next to 'Thanks: ___' would increase when you obtained a thanks. Maybe you did not notice this. You do not get an email notification if that is what you meant.

No, he meant that there should have been a prompt (like highlight and underline 'Thanks' counter in red) when a new 'thanks' comes. Like how it's with the 'messages' counter.
