Karma
How did I not know about this? To all the lovely people who've left me karma/kind comments over the past 2.5 years, thank you. I wasn't being ignorant 
Is there a function to reply to them individually? I'm certainly going to use karma going forward.

Re: Karma
I found the karma messages purely by chance last year too. I was going through a horrible time at home and it just made everything better.

Re: Karma
Sorry to hear you were having a rough time, the messages I found made me smile too. Of course, I'm now in danger of checking obsessively!

Re: Karma
Go to the 'my profile' bit on the blue bar, and underneath all the threads you are subscribed to and have replies you haven't yet seen there is a list of the [people that have given you karma, and the post you were given karma for.

Re: Karma
Can also be used to send snarky comments if you don't want to be bothered with using PM.
Not that I've ever done anything like that, obviously

Re: Karma
The difference between PMs & karma messages is that PMs are saved & can be reread.
I find I forget who I've given karma to ... & what I've given it for, though it's usually a post that either makes me laugh or nod my head vigourously.
It's often the same posters, but I try to vary mine a little so as to avoid the dreaded "You must spread karma around before you give it to this poster AGAIN!" message....

Re: Karma
Anyone on the receiving end of karma or private messages of that ilk can let a moderator know if they wish. Either forward the PM or copy and paste said karma message and let a mod have that. That's not to be a big girls blouse but if it is bothersome in some way best let a mod know.
G'won then. Have some karma .
