Kudos: What they are & How to give them [ Edited ]

[Maggie]

Two people have written to me asking me what kudos are and how one gives them.

For those who are wondering what they are and how they work, I thought I might  post a simple note here in forums:

Kudos are a way of saying, " I like this post" or "I agree with this post" or  "Thanks for taking the time to explain that" or "thanks for the link" or "that's funny" or "that's useful" or pretty much anything that makes you glad you read that post.

Kudos can be given by clicking on the star underneath someone's name to the left of their post.

So, kudos to you, everyone who takes the time to add information and goodwill to these forums!

Lol, where are mine then?!

Maggie, your first posting had 8 stars, then your last had no stars! Where did they go?

[Ken Anderson]

In a discussion the Kudos is awarded to an individual message. They are not shown in further messages posted by that member in the same discussion.

So if you look at Maggie's original message you will

 On the opening Connect page you will see the Kudos for particular members for the current 30 day period.

Yes, important information, Ken, as people have thought Kudos were disappearing.

"Kudos to you, dear Faith--the nicest person on boards anywhere."

We'll keep you, Maggie.  You can stay
