Hi Ted, and thank you for your mod. I installed it.
It's ok, seems to work fine but I got an error message when I imported your product.

I attached a screenshot I took.

I use VB 3.8.1 and your latest product version 1.5.4

If you remove the phrase you have to add back in your own code to show something... The phrase is the default message, without it there is nothing to show.

For example, if you replaced the phrase with:

The post would show "6 Good Votes!" if there were 6 good votes for it.

If there are no votes nothing would show by default, but again, you can change that by removing the <if ...> condition right above the phrase you are changing.

Thanks.

It looks like the plugin still installed -- is it working right?

Yes, it works like a charm.
Note I don't use the 10 point rankings for now. I use helpful answers.

Great!

is there going to be a way of highlighting or copying the best post directly below the first post? I know this has been suggested, id love to see this?

Hello,

If you have the thank you hack installed the automatic placement causes a little mess.

Here is the spot in postbit_legacy that I think looks OK for those doing this as a manual template edit:

Is there a way to allow guests to rate posts?

I'd even be OK with a cookie check that only lets them rate up to 10 posts before registering.

My forum is mostly visitor traffic reading how-to information.

It would be great if this worked like a visit to Microsoft support sites and you get to rate the thread.

The simple thumbs up or down is fine, I just want guests to be able to rate the posts too.

Thank you for this product. :D

Highlighting absolutely.... Look at the second post in the thread and you'll see a sample condition that will let you identify the post.

Moving the post however would require manually hacking your showthread script.

That's a good spot or you can use it lower after the thank you hack. It just depends on where you want things to show.
