Disregard the above post....i looked back through this thread and ran the ha_revote.php found here at Post 413

Great! Let me know how 1.6 works for you.

Ted, is it possible to change a couple of things?, when viewing the helpful answers page a rated thread shows like thisbut the link (in this case COUNT) takes you directly to a single post which happens to be the post it mentions i.e 258689. Could we possible have the Post xxxxx as a link to the post and the in thread link COUNT to link to the entire thread rather than a single post? maybe rather than have Post xxxxx in...etc how about This Post (as a link) in thread COUNT (as a link) or would that be too many queries?

As an addition, would it be possible to have a date show for when it was last tagged as helpful?

Good ideas Simon.

That's all actually pretty straight forward. I've posted 1.6.8 to this post which changes the post link to the post within the thread (which makes a lot of sense).

For the date, I assumed you meant on the top helpful answers page as well. I've added a column with this data.

Today I released 1.7.0 stable.

This update incorporates two small changes adding a last vote column to the top helpful posts page and linking top helpful posts to their full thread to put them in context.

More importantly however 1.7.0 marks the end of the 1.6.x beta series which has been up for a few weeks.

With 1.7 there's a complete change in how post vote summaries are stored (summaries contain the total votes, good votes and last vote time). This change moves away from using the main post table and adds a new table just for helpful answers. For most sites this won't mark a notable difference but for larger sites it will reduce load and limit the number of edits to the post table.

1.7.0 is designed to convert anyone from 1.5.x without notable impact but if you do find yourself missing votes simply run the script ha_revote.php as found in the tools & samples post and your vote history will be resynced.

I look forward to hearing all of your suggestions and comments for 1.8!

Thanks for taking those on board Ted, much appreciated, however i just upgraded to 1.7.0 as 1.6.8 wasn't available :( but you haven't added those things to 1.7 :(:(

Any chance of adding it or mailing it or.........? :)

My mistake Ted, 1.7 does have those things, it's just at first glance it didn't seem to!

How can i get rid of Post 228819 in thread:? as for me it seems enough to just have the thread title and a link to it.

Ted S, thank you for this great (!) mod. Can u add in 1.8.0 ability to hide lowest rated post?

You can edit the bit template and remove this from the HTML. If you need help let keep know.
