Hi Abe1,

How many sql queries does this mod do in each view for SHOWTHREAD ? or Pressing Thank you button ?

Because sometimes we disable the mod to save some server performance.

Thanks,,

A vB4 update would be nice, seeing as I still have the DB tables in place for this mod :)

Have you contributed to the developer? This mod is replete with the same sentiment.

I was shocked when I supported a mod on this board and the developer mentioned that I was the first person who had ever supported his mod.

I wouldn't be surprised if the developer of the Post Thank You hack can count on one hand how many people have actually contributed to his development.

If you've supported the Mod then great but I would urge any others who want to see this in vB4 to demonstrate this by supporting the developer. This would be the greatest encouragement.

Surprisingly you are very right. Out of over 4500 sites that must use this hack, I got maybe 5 or 6 very small donations. I'm not sure why, but it seems like people think that these hacks are automatic with their purchase of vBulletin. I get countless people still harassing me through PM, requesting when it will be released for 4.0.

The answer is pretty simple. I get $75 an hour for a custom hack I make. I all need to do it make 1 hack that takes and hour, and I made more money then I ever did with Post Thank You hack. Not only is it free, but some of you seem like it is an obligation for me to release it. I do know it is very important part of you website, but hey, I got to make a living and do this in my free time. If you really need it so badly, pay for it. Oh, and BTW, Post Thanks hack takes a lot longer then 1 hour. I must have spent hour and hours on it already upgrading it. I hate vBulletin with passion for what they have done to 4.0. They keep making 1 change at a time to different parts of their code. This time it was the design, by 3.5 it was the how hacks get installed. While this is all fine and dandy for you guys, it's a pain as hell to us developers who have to keep writing their hacks from scratch.

Hello,

where can I find the setting to display how much Thanks at the thread?

understandable. But in that case do you have any plans for the vb4 when you are free?
and maybe you could enable a premium support, those who donate x amount will be prioritized at first over those who get this for free. So maybe users need to pay x amount per mnth to get faster support from you? that case yo still get money if you continue with this hack for vb4?

Yes, I do plan on releasing it soon. I am around 50-60% done at least. Basically I have to redo the templates and it's not easy. vB has made it hell now between every variable needing to be declared, to using css for every little part of the design.

well with IB we might see new coding structure in a year or two. if they are money greedy and want to reach for vb 5.0
arent they alreadt working on 4.1?
abnyway thanks alot for not dropping this mods:D much appreciated

I can't wait Abe1!!
