Unable to delete forums that have posts with thanks and not working correctly with PHP 7.1

1. Any version PHP: Unable to delete a forum or post that is linked to a "thanks". Throws up an SQL error. Have to disable the mod to delete any posts that have thanks.

2. PHP 7.1: Throws up an error when you click on thanks

#1 still has the issue with PHP 7.0 (i've seen many others post about this - its a major issue that no one has attempted to fix). It seems to be linked to the option "Remove User's Thanks Count When Deleting Post" - when this is set to No then it deletes no problem.

#2 is fixed when revert back to PHP 7.0. We need to be on PHP 7.1

Thanks in advance.
