Hi Ted, thank you very much for sharing ! Great work !!
It works perfectly.
I nominate it MOTM
:up:

great hack, its just me being lazy :) but any chance for a converter from "Post Thank You" hack?

Just a problem remains:
If I post a new thread, it will be highlighted if there is no vote or no replies, despite turning the "Hide on first post" feature to "Yes" in the settings.
Is there a way to not highlight the first post ?

What exactly do you want to import... Thank you's as positive votes?

I assume you're referring to the top post variable. If this is the case I'll be releasing an update to fix this soon (codes done but on a different computer). In the meantime you can add the following to your condition:

Yes, exactly. Thank you for your help, Ted.

correct :)

Shouldn't be hard, I'll post a script Monday to do this.

thanks, look forward with that script since this mod can replace the thanks mod

another question is im thinking of replacing the thumbs icons with my own however they are set in a fixed size so do u know where i can change the size
when i have Nominate your thread of the month mods it looks little bit messy sohow can i move helpful mod next to the thread title?

If you chose to use thumb images of your own your best bet is to modify the helpful_answers addon and add the images directly. Altering the included is not ideal as their sizes are hardcoded in.

You can move the helpful answers code anywhere within the postbit template by switching to manual mode and adding the variable $helpful_answers where you want it to go.
