Suggestion Consider a “thanks” reply icon?

[Saboteur]

When asking a question or seeking advice you may get many responses. Rather than acknowledging with a thumbs up or like or typing thanks to all the responders a “thanks” icon may be useful?

There is one. It’s the smiley face with the thumbs up.

Is there an icon to indicate that: if you are too "busy" to type a single word, then why bother responding?

It's really awkward to use that one with the giant thumbs-up and goofy grinning face to thank someone for having shared a sad story, for example. The "Like" emoji can be too ambiguous: do you Like the story, or do you Like that the poster shared it? A more dignified, simple "thank you" emoji that could be used in a wider variety of circumstances could be useful.

Picky picky.

@Saboteur - When you hover over the "like" menu, this will pop up:

Pick the option you want...

As a side note, some of us occasionally use the "disagree/thumbs down" for conveying "that just sucks" not "disagree"...

Agree.. looks like he has taken too much Paxil. I was thinking along the lines of the iPhone thanks icon

So its meds need to be adjusted?

A perfect example how symbols/emoji’s can have different meanings to different groups. I more often see this used as a symbol for prayer. I don’t think it would be a good choice for SB.
