Thank you for all of your efforts. This seems like a great product.

I am also concerned about security. My site was recently exploited through the Post Thank You plugin by Abe1. A shell script was inserted into the ajax_complete.php.

I'm honestly not fluent enough to ask the right questions here, but have you had any experience with this product being similarly exploited? I'd really love to have a Thanks option again (members of my forum are begging for it) but not if it's going to leave me vulnerable to attack.

Thank you!
