This addon requires a mandatory template change as follows:

Open the template THREADBIT and find:

<if condition="$show['threadratings'] AND $show['threadrating']"><span style="float:$stylevar[right]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_rating]/rating_$thread[rating].gif" border="0" alt="<phrase 1="$thread[votenum]" 2="$thread[voteavg]">$vbphrase[thread_rating_x_votes_y_average]</phrase>" /></span></if>

And replace with:

$helpful_threads

-----------------------------------------------------

As an alternative you can add a new cell to your forum display page to improve how voting shows. This is shown in the screen shots in the main post.

Step 1: Open the template THREADBIT and remove

<if condition="$show['threadratings'] AND $show['threadrating']"><span style="float:$stylevar[right]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_rating]/rating_$thread[rating].gif" border="0" alt="<phrase 1="$thread[votenum]" 2="$thread[voteavg]">$vbphrase[thread_rating_x_votes_y_average]</phrase>" /></span></if>

Step 2: In THREADBIT find <if condition="$show['threadmoved']">

Step 3: BEFORE this code add:

<td>$helpful_threads</td>

Step 4: Open the template FORUMDISPLAY and find:

<td class="thead" width="150" align="center" nowrap="nowrap"><span style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="$sorturl&amp;order=desc&amp;sort=lastpost" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[last_post]</a> $sortarrow[lastpost]</span></td>

Step 5: BEFORE this add:

<td class="thead" width="150" align="center">Ranking</td>
