Other than you get a notification, how can you tell Big Thumbs?

I give quite a few thumbs, mostly 'ups', no idea how to see how many I've received.

I'm not a child so it doesn't interest me.

I just use a thumbs up as an easier and more sensible way of agreeing than Replying with Quote and saying 'this'. Seems a no-brainer to me.
Tend to use thumbs up mainly when I agree with a post. If I do give a thumbs down I at least try to explain why in a post unlike some thumbing thumbers who just down thumb and don't put their argument.

This.
Said it once before, but thumbs up is a great way of acknowledging something you liked or made you laugh when there really is no need to reply. The dad jokes thread being a perfect example. I'm not going to quote every one that made me laugh and put a lol smiley or a 'that was very funny' comment. Thumbs up is perfect for that.
Thumbs downs though are for fools. I see Husty's name has cropped up a fair bit in relation to them....

I've never given a thumbs either way, nor will I.
Its lazy. If I feel moved to respond to a post, then I will quote it and take the time to type a reply. I don't do FB 'likes' or 'favourite' tweets for the same reason. If something is worthy of a response, then respond. Don't just click a tab, it just means "great, but can't really be arsed to say anyfing about it"
I'd prefer thumbs to be removed from this forum completely. I actually find it mildly deflating when I see I have a notification, only to see its not a quote, but a thumb. I really don't give a shit about thumbs. I only click on it to get rid of the notification, I don't even check if its an UP or DOWN.
Waste of time.

I like the thumbs. I dished out 127 thumbs up, received 36 of which 3 are thumbs down. I try not to let the thumbs down ruin my life.

I might do a
with a comment of some kind if something gives me a chuckle. But I just don't feel this irrepressible urge to register a response to everything I read.
