Etiquette: Rude to post "thank you"?

[StaceyZ]

Some of these boards move so fast -- what's the proper way to say "thank you" when people post answers to your inquiries? I want to say thanks, but then it will bump the post back to the top of the forum and w/o having something new to add to the conversation it seems almost rude to do that. Anyone who's been around here for a while care to comment?

Thank you... in advance!! :tongue_smilie:

I don't ever think it's rude to say thank you. Yes, it will bump the thread; but because the boards move so fast, it will only stay at the top for a few moments. If someone searches for their own posts, they'll see your thank you note.

I always think it's nice to say thank you when someone takes the time to answer your questions. I don't think it's rude at all to bump your post to the beginning.

:iagree: Plus someone else might have more to add to the conversation OR might also benefit from the answer during the brief time that it is back on top :)

Well "THANK YOU" for your thoughtful replies! ;) I don't know that I will go back just to say thank you for my old posts, but I will definitely feel good about going ahead and saying it for future posts. You gals are great!
