Zyphlin was just an internet handle I used on a number of forums and it just happened that as I registered for new forums I ended up reusing it, finding it a bit simpler just to have one handle throughout. No real meaning to it at all. | |

Is there anyway to quickly isolate the posts for which one has been given thanks? I just now realized I've been thanked 9 times but I have no idea where or by whom. | |

Just sayin... | We asked for this a couple of years ago, it was a resounding "no" I'm guessing since we never got one. | |

And another question, is there a giving thanks quota? It seems my thanks button has vanished and I can only guess that means I was giving too much away. I'm such a whore.
