    You can't do anything to decrease someones thanked count

    But you can do something to get rid of thanks on a post/thread (Just tried it):p

    Can you tell us how sra?

    I did exactly the same as Bogof_Babe once.........and it bugged me for ages.

    Copied threads/posts don't contain thanks.

    If you wanted to quickly remove thanks from a thead, simply copy it and delete the original icon10.gif

    If you wanted to remove the thanks from a single post - and wanted to go to the extra effort necessary - you could:


    • Go to split thread and tick only the thanked-post in question. This spilts it off to form a thread all on its own
    • Find the thanked-post and make a copy of it
    • merge the thanked-post and it's copy back into the original thread
    • Delete the thanked-post leaving the copy which will look exactly the same as the original except without the thanks
    You have to pay close attention to the date of the thanked-post when you're splitting it. If it's an old post, it might end up being listed way down the board index when you split it
