I have been reading threads on this forum since I got my Captivate in August, 2010 and this is my first post. During this time I have seen several references to the "Thanks Button". There have been many times when I would have used it if I knew where it was. So much help here, so many questions answered. Problem is, button does not seem to exist for me. So, my question is; where is it?
Using xda app or website

It's right next to "quote" on every post on every thread on the website.
There may be a minimum post count before it shows up.
There is a minimum post count. Not sure what the minimum is, but I have less than 10 posts and it just recently started showing up for me.
edit: i lied, I have exactly 10 posts including this one
You also have to be signed in.

It's the minimum post issue. This will be my third post. All replies appreciated!
Hmm I'm signed in on the web site and have more than 10 posts but don't have a thank button next to quote just 2 more quote buttons.

I am glad someone asked this! I can see the Thanks button now but about a month ago before I made any posts I could not find it anywhere. There were a few people I wanted to 'Thank' but thought I was going crazy as I could not find it. And being new, I was too afraid to ask where the button was, lol.
good post I too wondered about the thanks button

Based on the replies in this thread, this was a great post. Although I already knew where it was, I clicked the Thanks button on your OP, since that is what it is for.
"Thanks Button" magically appeared for me today. Go figure.
I've had no problem on web site but I still have not been able to find it on xda app. Is it hiding from me or not available on app?
It does not show up in the app or tapatalk for some reason. It would be nice since i read the boards mainly through one of these apps.

If you're still using the old forum format, you won't see the Thanks button.

Is it just me or has the forums been sluggish the last 2 days? I've had page not found errors randomly since yesterday and today. Even happened to me using the XDA app.
Are there server issues with the new servers?

Administration have been migrating to new servers since last week. This kind of issues are expected.
There has been some announcements by Svetius (Administrator) regarding this.

I would like to know is anyone else having problem checking there pm's on the mobile xda app??? I have since lost that option and it started yesterday morning. I run an older version of the xda because imo its faster. So I thought that might be the culprit. But I have the blue xda mobile app that abadasstanker did also the transparent one Impaler did also the flashable one from the Darkhorse theme that hero32 did. I even went to the market and dl that one. All of theese still won't allow me to check my pm's via mobile. When I sign in online its fine. I've tried a nand and still no go. So I said forget it and started fresh did a fast boot erase resetup everything and still no go. So anyone else having this problem???

I've gotten a total of 2 PMs ever since I joined xda. If mine is broken I'd never even know.
~maybe I set it too high...
pm sent dpeeps! lol.
Getting an unknown error here when attempting to check PM on the free XDA app. So it's not just you.
Haha, my PMs work!

A thanks jm. Now I can just wait it out instead of thinking something went wrong with my setup.
@ all who replied thanks

I had a theory regarding this and just checked it out. If you had any PMs from a certain member whose account was deleted and changed into a tree (not mentioning any names), then you cannot access your PMs from the xda app. If you log on to xda from the web, delete said PMs from he-who-shall-not-be-named, then you will be able to check your PMs from the app.
Huh you don't say. Well I'm about to try it now.

I know! I was thinking maybe his wife had enough of him being on xda and made him close his account. Of course I have no idea though. Remember when she threw his touchpad in the toilet? Really sad that he's gone...
Wondering myself what happened. His loss will be a large blow to the community so hopefully he'll be back. Just gunna keep my fingers crossed.
Sent from my Touchpad using XDA Premium HD app
Just woke up to the news. I was shocked. That was out of nowhere. Especially after he just came out with new stuff.
RIP
It must have been something very serious to cause him to totally close his account and threads right after releasing new builds.
:crying:
Big blow to the Touchpad community. Hopefully it wasn't a mistake or troll.
Going back and reading some of the posts that SGA left yesterday makes me think something doesn't feel right. He showed no intention of stopping this. I'm confused.

Of course. He was the one who made a request to the mod to have him removed from xda. Abrupt but we should respect his decision and thank him for endless hours in developing this rom
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using xda app-developers app
i was thinking it was wife related too. considering she dumped his TP in the toilet once before. i'm sad to see him go, but i can understand he has more important priorities. if you read this SGA thanks for all your efforts
RIP
I may suggested that his wife used his account to inform the mod to remove his account? Just kidding, hope he can back soon

Hey you never know. Its so damn sad. He was a great developer for the touchpad. His account has been permanently deleted too.
Very sad news. Let's hope he and and his family is ok, and nothing terrible happened.
See ya later, bro and thnx for your legendary work here!
The only hint I could find was this:
I'm having major connectivity issues at home, and am starting to think I've been throttled by my provider. I've synced the repos so many times from scratch since I've moved here that at about 10GB per repo I'm probably around 100GB in the last few days. and I still need to fetch the 4.2.2 source (now that I've got all the ICS and JB ROMs built).

But this off cause wouldn't be a reason to leave our community without a word of goodbye. So I fear that something personal happend, a stroke of fate. :crying:
Otherwise, if it should be true that his wife was doing all of that she should know how much we miss him too and that we hope of a reincarnation in form of a SGA2.
Anyway we wish you and your family all the best: "So Long, and Thanks For All the Fish!"
Thanks, SGA, for everything. You're a class act. I hope that everything is okay.

Damn...thats rough.
Yes, very odd to dissapear so suddenly. Similar to when OaT left touchpad suddenly as he felt underappreciated as a developer (rightly so) but we learnt our lessons and treated SGA well.
Until we have news, SGA thank you for all your help. I'm still running your ICS ROM because it's just so stable. Good luck and I hope everything is ok!

You all do this dev a great disservice with this presumptious crap. Leave him alone. If he comes back, great. If he doesn't, be thankful for what he gave us. As far as I'm concerned, the moderator should shut this thread down.
As a user of his work, i certainly hope all is well. Should he decide to come back, i think we can find a place for him again.
That said, while i will leave this open, please do not go off the rails with crazy theories, or harassing him or the staff for more info. If he says something, that is fine.. but lets keep this simple, ok guys?
Just wanted to alsoexpress my appreciation for SGA. He will be missed. Hope all is well with him.

anyone knows SGA's email? we could write email to him saying thank you.
Or we could have a special “thank you SGA” post for him.

This app is always really unresponsive, especially in first use. Trying to scroll a page can cause freezes for a few seconds.
Not seeing this with any other function. Stock Google factory build with Franco kernel running stock settings.
I bought the app for simplicity and speed over having to use a browser but the browser is normally faster?
Ideas?
Its junk and I would never pay for it. I prefer XDA desktop in Dolphin browser!
XDA app is really weak. You can try tapatalk, but it's also slow while scrolling, etc. Just poor coded apps from what I've been told. You can try tweaking your system to improve performance in the app, but it won't be perfect.
aosp browser with xda only, no apps needed nor wanted. always fast this way
I've said a million times the only reason I use Tapatalk is because there aren't any alternatives. XDA app is pretty much the same thing.
I cant complain about app, its works, notification works fast, no problems, sometimes kinda slow loading, but never crash
Good to know. Surprising given the skill of many people on this forum, a simple app like this should be perfect..... They have my money so too late for me! Back to the browser.

Tapatalk isn't made by XDA. The XDA app is also just a branded and licensed Tapatalk client. No apps are "perfect" either, regardless whoever created it.

Not sure if it can be considered as a serious alternative but give a try to Forum Fiend. I didn't test recent updates but the user experience was slightly different compared to Tapatalk.

Its just that there are hardly any good alternatives. Most forums apps you can find will be based on the Tapatalk API anyways, too.

Can't come fast enough. I do have a feature request for XDA One. I want it to data mine all the links I press and send me to an XDA redirect that's down half the time, pr2-xda-devolpers.com. Make that happen, and I'm on board. Oh, and I want little XDA branding on all the screenshots I upload.

O frabjous day, calloo callay! This is pleasant news because I don't think it can be overstated how ghastly and absolutely horrid the Tapatalk user experience and design are.
Looking foward to the new app however; it's obvious the current one is lacking and far behind
That is wonderful news. I have one question not related to the actual development of the app, will it replace the free and premium apps or become a new app? (Reason being is I bought both Tapatalk and XDA Pro)
Try Tapatalk, it just got better.
