If you're too lazy to type the word "thanks", then you don't really mean it. Or ....., you don't deserve the help.

And if you do bother to say thanks, it should be bumped to the top. That way the forum "regulars" will see that you at least acknowledged their help.

We had someone join the forum last year who treated the "regulars" as paid tech support. Each question on the same subject was given a new post and knocked someone elses topic off the front page. At one point, ... he had 80% of the front page.

A "bump" by saying thanks on a front page topic doesn't do that.

He rarely, if ever, said thanks. He stopped getting many replies. I also haven't seen him around in awhile.

Thanks. (See, saying "Thanks" wasn't so hard. I honestly can't imagine not formally thanking someone for their help.)
