I couldn't find any other reference to a something that would be a quantity of posts.

So, essentially, the thanks icon disappeared for members and your new "Helpful Answers" appeared simultaneously.

Doesn't the Thank You mod have the advantage of being more personalized in that a person sees the individual member's name who left him that positive expression?

Thanks again for your work .. I use almost all of your mods and the are first rate and reliable ... :up:

Badger,

My name is Rich. Ted's the coder of this app but I thought I'd answer your question as a board owner who has gone through the same thing you're going through.

1. Yes, I meant Post Count needed to Give Thanks. I raised the level to 100000
2. Yes, the Post Thank You button and the Helpful Answers thing will appear simultaneously (assuming you don't set Post Count level high as in 1.) Since I raised the Post Count needed to give thanks, users can no longer see the Thanks button but, because the Post Thank You hack is still installed, users can see who thanked posts before I raised the post count needed. In other words, I'm weaning users away from the Post Thanks and, in a couple of years, I'll probably just uninstall the Post Thanks hack altogether.
3. Yes, right now the Post Thank You hack allows you to see who thanked the poster but Ted just noted that he was going to mod this application to make this an option for the Helpful Answers product. It will completely replace everything good about Post Thanks when he does that.

As for your previous question about importing old Thanks Data into the Helpful answers hack, I'm sure it could be done with some sort of SQL query but I'm not sophisticated enough to know how to do that.
