I like the thanks and hug button and use them both a lot. I was wondering, and maybe it's a silly idea but would it be possible to thank and hug ourselves? There is no way to thank or hug ourselves at the moment.

(Sorry if this sounds like a silly request but (I'm DID) and sometimes a part will post something and then I'll find the post and I think, hey that deserves a thanks or that part might need a hug. Might be good to get the parts acknowledging each other. Sometimes I think there should be an 'I suck' button too! )

Apologies if you think this is a stupid request.

Have a nice day.

Hugs are great! I wish I could give one to myself also. And it's also good to thank ourselves every once in a while. I agree with your decision wholeheartedly.

((Pegasus))),

I also think that is a great idea. I think there should be some kind of icon though for the people who don't like hugs. I don't know how that could happen, but some people are really turned off by hugs. I love the hugs myself, as you can see I give a lot of them out. It was so comforting to see that when I joined this site.

Love this idea Peg.

Open Eyes: I was thinking the same thing about the icon for those who don't like hugs. I know it definitely makes some members uncomfortable.

I could be wrong, but I always thought I could thank myself. Let me try.

I am wrong, maybe it was just in the admin forum?

I could swear I did before LOL

You very well could have. As I recall, the "Thanks" button stopped appearing on my own posts the same day the new "Hugs" button started appearing on everyone else's.

I don't mind talking to myself as long as no one else is around to hear me. If I ever thank or hug myself, I'd rather do it offline. I feel a little safer not having the Thanks and Hugs buttons where I could click them by accident.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
