Confused on Stars and flags

Hi everyone

Do people receive stars when people give them flags for a thread only or can you give people stars within a thread because you liked what they said?? If you can how as I don't have clue how to do it

You can give someone a star or a flag for any reason you like.

One flag per thread and one star per post.

Flags can be retracted, too.

Just click the star or flag icon with your cursor or touch-pad etc. With stars, you'll see a 'hollow' one at the end of the line. That's yours to click.

You can also see the amount of replies and flags a post has in the various forums and sections on the right side of the screen.

Generally highly flagged threads are considered "popular" or "hot topics"

I would star your post if I could. oh the horrible irony.

How come there are no stars to fill out on this thread?

As he said however if you have been having problems giving stars you are not alone... I have to refresh the darn page at times just to give someone a star or click on the star symbol several times for it to appear.. Flags do not seem to be a problem for me.

No stars available in the 'start here' forum.

Flags are normally seen on flag poles, blowing in the wind. Well, unless they are false flags. Stars are much higher up and only visible to the naked eye at night.

Hope this helps!

Someone will tell you....but my advice is pay no attention to any of it. In the scheme of life and all things-forum...so what?

Life is more than and A+ on every exam...and welcome to our house.

Peace!
