This is a great mod. It looks like you're looking for feature suggestions so if you'll permit me......I'm using this on a very active board and there's 2 features that would help me:
1) Users should be able to retract the ratings they gave somehow
2) It would be great if there was an option to make negative reporting anonymous

#1 is pretty much for sure on the list.

#2 not sure what you mean? the votes don't list who did them?

Regarding #1: great! Can't wait :D
Regarding #2: yes, I can see my suggestion wasn't clear but that is exactly what I mean. It's just that some of my users have expressed reluctance to give any more negative ratings because the users they have previously given negative ratings to have sometimes taken it very personally and even started vendettas against them.

How are they discovering who rated the thread negatively?

I see that post but am just not following your point given how long it's been...

The update to 2.0.6 takes the version of helpfulanswers.php from 2.0.5 and fixes one bug. That is the only change.

So all we need to upload is th helpfulanswers.php file?

HA regular users. I made a post in another thread from a user asking about the support / innovation behind my mods and it seemed relevant here as well. As always my goal is to help the community but be honest about what I provide, please keep the feature ideas & comments coming... they are all welcome.

I've gotten out of the habit of mentioning this lately, but since your question brings it up, I should reiterate a little wisdom on my mods.

I'm a marketer before a programmer and my mods, while now many years old, stemmed from making experience improvements to drive up registrations and activity. The idea was to share relatively portable solutions that my startup, and later on my client's sites, had success with. But while it's tempting to just download and install what you see, websites thrive when they are driven relative to their userbase. As such I have the high hopes that no one just uses my mods out of the box... whether it's extending the features or customizing the messaging, generic is never the ideal solution.

These days forums are taking a back seat to the social networks of the world and that's a function of our own creation. One can point fingers as the software vendor and while there's fault there, ultimately as community owners we should be ideating as much, if not more, for ourselves and as a community of communities. The more we innovate in sharing, interaction, and even integration with networks, the more opportunity we have.

While I'm not the active contributor to this community that I was 7 or 8 years ago, I'm supportive of those looking to build and grow their sites. So if you need a little help, by all means ask, but if you want to do something novel, that's when I get really interested.

It's about their post being rated negatively, not their thread. They are discovering who rated their post negatively in the normal way.

The negative rating in helpful answers can be turned off, however, helpful answers doesn't publicly deliver who found it unhelpful, those ratings must be coming from your own rep system.

Here's how it works on my forum, and I thought how it worked on everyone's.
User A gives user B a helpful post rating (either good or bad)
User A gets a notification that they have a new helpful post rating. Clicking on the link in the drop down notifications menu takes them to this page:
profile.php?do=helpfulans
at which point they can see in the right-hand column who gave them the answer and whether it's good or bad.
