| |  Use the THANKS button to thank helpful posters
If you find a post helpful please use the thanks button to thank the helpful poster.
(and don't thank them if its not  )
It makes them feel wanted and makes it more likely that your questions
will receive more attention from the helpers (shallow lot that they are) next
time you ask for help.
Also don't abuse the system by forming cliques giving one another thanks for
trivial of non-existent help.
RonL
(To make this clearer use the thanks button on the helpful post not this one,
unless that is you have found this post helpful  )

Wow, the forum has been up for ages, just shows how bad the rep system was before. Even now, not many people rep. So this sticky is good.

Now your the spokesperson...

type succeeds or fails on the basis of what proportion of members
use it. So if it is to have a fair chance we need to encourage people to
use it. Quote: |

RonL | Great work captain! and the rest who spend their time on the MathHelpForum to help everyone solve their problems. You are all great and very helpful! Your help is greatly appreciated.
No wonder why the members have increased largely since I joined nearly a year ago (around 1200). Currently 3,742 and rising everyday!!
