Well I am happy to say that I worked through it on my own.
What I had to do was gather every Post thank you hack I had (4) starting from v.02
and did an install uninstall in backwards order.
In the end I found the bots of code that were plaguing my forums in some of the
earlier versions, when I was finished I took a deep breath and installed v 1.03 fresh.
I thought the installed was botched when I went out to my AdminCP /forum manager
and couldn't find the Post thank you hack controls there, but just before I was going
to strip everything off I thought I should through a peek in the vb control settings.
and there I found the >new< Post Thank You Hack settings
So now after some quick testing everything seems to work properly now.

I do kind of miss the individual forum controls though instead of the new system
with forum ID's.
To bad there is no more support on this hack
