It's a pointless post because it didn't add anything to the thread.You can still send PMs for saying thank you.
Wow, are you just being a jerk on purpose or do you seriously mean what you said.
Thanking someone for doing free work is basic courtesy, and a forum that doesn't allow public "thank you" is beyond ridiculous. It's bad enough that you don't care to do it yourself. Now you are going to stop other people from doing the right thing?
Nobody should be afraid to thank someone
if they clearly mean it, even if it's for something done 1 year ago.
