I forgot how to do it here but finally figured it out! So....all those thanks I have been handing out? Sorry...it hasn't been doing much, much to my dismay. I'll make it up to ya.
Plus I need to post one more time so I can send pm's in return to those who have so kindly sent me some. My post count has to be 50. This outta do it, yes?
Yeah, I have never been on a forum with rep points and it took me a while to figure it out, too.
At some point, I repped someone and they sent me a thank you PM. So then I had to figure out how to turn on my notifications so I could do the same when I receive rep.
I felt the same way you did. As if everyone must have thought I was rude for not acknowledging the brownie points all that time.
