Or a karma-queuing system so that if you're over your quota, or have already given that person karma, it queues up to be given automatically when you next have karma available.

I strongly suspect the forum software isn't that clever, though...

Yes, please. All of these things. Me too. *hand raised* Iʻm a karma spurt giver ()- I go hog wild with karma, then I donʻt give it for a while, and then hog wild again. And then, after a hog wild spree, I might get a mysterious thank you and I wonder what the HECK I wrote on that karma!

ditto - we should be able to 'see' what we wrote, so the reply makes a semblance of sense ...

Knowing to whom you gave karma is the most likely of these suggestions to get implemented. But you can drop a note to Alex and ask about the others. Just be aware that he's very busy with work right now.

I usually, but not always, try to give a little hint in the 'thank you' message for the karma as a subtle reminder as to what post the karma and thank you, and the karma message, are referring to.

Sometimes I'm halfway through typing the karma message and hit some odd key sequence and accidentally send some incomprehensible message.

It would be nice though, if karma was set up like the private messaging system, where you could switch between incoming and outgoing with a reference to the actual post in outgoing karma and the karma message you sent. Something do dream about, like a firmware update for my PRS-700 that will allow dictionary look-up and scribble notes.

WDE.

I only noticed this recently, and was wondering about how it worked, strangely, I was looking for the "coloured" (blue, violet,etc) in the book recommends section so I typed in fairy in the search bar and the first hit was "how karma works" facinating I guess thats karma for you.

Honey, I didn't look that good at 24. I was just volunteering a Calendar Girl someone might actually want to look at!

Great idea! You can send us on a year long cruise around the world and we can demonstrate how we can read here, we can read there, we can read anywhere with our Readers.

Humm.. you may have to come along to get the pictures.

You can then choose the best pictures of each of us from the various months to make into a calendar.

I suppose I'd be willing to have a picture of my hand holding a reader in a calendar....
