Thanks a lot!!!
Upgraded :)

Holy Crap! Awesome! Ty

is there a post thanks for 3.7?

Instead of "Groan"... why not rename it to "complain" or "yell"... or something to describe this more properly?

Agreed.

However, the hack itself is great! :)

works flawlessly with the thank you mod. Love it, thanks

is there a way to make groans only show up on postbit when a person receives one?

Yes. Check my profile.

What do you mean? The box? The stats?
