Hi guys,

We've heard back from the Tech team and here's why the button doesn't work on posts over a year old:

A limit was put in place because users would be thanking old posts in the boards where 'Wow' is enabled and this would bring them up as a new post, when the deal was no longer available. This is obviously annoying for forumites so a long time ago we placed a limit on the Thanks function.

So it's actually a good thing! It stops old deals from popping up and you should still be able to keep the thanks, they will only decrease if someone unthanks the post or it gets deleted.

As for taking the function off those boards with Wow enabled, it's a lot of extra work for not much gain. We'll obviously take any feedback on board, so let us know if you think otherwise here

Thanks for flagging this up!
