I downloaded (1.8.4) and started to use it yesterday. Once it was installed, I decided to use the ha-import.php file. ha-import.php file was copied to admincp and launched from there. Should I do something differently?

No that's ok. I will need to revist the import script to work with 1.8.. The version I posted runs with 1.9 beta and the first version you used was for 1.7.

Can I leave the mod running along with "thanks" mod and then run the import at a later time or does the import need to run immediately after the install? Hope to see a working import soon so I can get it combined. Thanks for creating this mod and for your support.

Are we closer to 1.9 stable :) I just cannot wait :) Are new features described somewhere?

The feature list is a few page back... somewhere. :D

We're not a whole lot closer as no one has picked up the beta and commented on it which makes it difficult for me to release as a stable. I will be doing more of my own tests to try and move things along.

Interestingly enough, the Answer Forum mod is released today

Interesting modification although it looks to be more focused on picking a "best answer" rather than ranking individual answers.

Are there other features you are looking for in my modification that I may be able to bake into 1.9?

And yes, I will be adding an option to exclude certain threads from this mod. It's a difficult feature to wrap around but I've come up with the idea of giving two options:

1. Let you specify only certain thread IDs to enable for.
2. Let you specify certain thread IDs to exclude from.

Ted - can you add a report for how many positive/negative ratings users have received in addition to the existing given report? I would like to run contests based on these reports.

Shouldn't be a problem.

Ok with entering a username and date range and getting a result?
