Just a comment.

This site is great in that nearly everyone who asks for advice or a comment invariably gets it. Members take the time and effort to formulate a reply which is usually informative or helpful.

It seems to me there are quite a number of people who receive that advice or comment and fail to have the courtesy to acknowledge the person who gives it.

I'm not saying people should fall on their knees and shower petals everywhere but surely a quick line saying "thanks" would not go amiss.

It would I am sure encourage more to leave comments etc if they knew they were appreciated.

Am I too old fashioned?

Over the years on TP Ive answered many posts to help, and received no replies, just one of those things, they get what they want to know, and I dont know forget a simple thanks, I always answer every post made on threads I start
 
No, your not old fashioned. It SHOULD be common courtesy, but it isn't!
I have noticed the same thing. Most posts asking for help/advice/how to's etc don't even include a 'please' when asking.
A simple 'Thank You' as a follow up to your query goes a long way to make the person answering feel somewhat wanted and appreciated.
 
Totally agree. I always try and say please and thank you, though I do occasionally forget to reply to threads - usually get there eventually.

One more than one occasion I have made constructive criticism and the OP will thank everyone in the thread who said 'nice shot' etc but completely ignore my comment!
 
That is why I always say "Thank you" when asking a question in a post, then I don't forget :D
 
I agree too -just as my children were brought up to say please and thank you, so should anyone who gets a reply to a question.
This forum has grown a lot over the last few years and seems to have a lot more who seem to forget....

Well, I'll start it off by saying thanks for the replies. Glad I'm not alone in thinking this.
 
I agree with this. I always try and post a "thanks for the comment" type message. The only time I might not is if I totally forget or if the post is to an old thread and I miss it.
