i read a few discourse forums and they both use the banners. what interests me the most is that a larger percentage of members that post to the thread ignore the banner completely than those who acknowledge the OP. i’m thinking roughly 2 out of 3 or even 3 out of 4 just blow off acknowledging the member in any case. so while people may like being acknowledged, many many people seemingly don’t like acknowledging others. incidentally, if you see a banner forget acknowledging, i hate programmed responses. and it would be a programmed response.
