Whats up with the number of times I've been thanked ??

MarkinNH · 11-23-2010, 02:38 PM

Has anybody noticed the number next to my "Thanks" column ? Not the "thanked" column, My error !
( 4,294,967,295 )

This certainly isn't correct. Has this ever happend to anyone before ?

LOL!!! Great reply!

@MarkinNH - yes, it has happened before, but I have absolutely no idea why.

Now it's incorrect in a different way -

Thanks: 8
Thanked 41 Times in 17 Posts

Getting closer though.....

EDIT - oops, my bad, I was confusing thanks and being thanked.

The "Thanks" counter goes crazy once in a while. When I notice it I can rebuild it with one click.

You will often see that number in computer programs that go awry. It represents the largest 32 bit binary number (The way that computers count) It is 2^32 minus 1 because computers count zero as a number. How is that for some useless information

Thank you, I noticed this several days ago and thought. That's one Big A$$ #, how did that happen. Thank you for correcting it. Now that it's gone I kind of miss it. It made me unique !

Happy Thanksgiving everybody !

The number of Thanks recorded is normally a function of your REAL Seniority. You will notice that the Webmaster has the most number of Thanks .....and Skip is second. I can't explain it but it's just something I have noticed.

Actually, I just noticed that OCD is getting close. BUT: The Webmaster and Skip don't post much compared to the "Regular" posters. It's prolly a RATIO kind of thingy. Posts Vs. Thanks.

PS: Happy Thanksgiving to ALL who frequent this site.
