Post Thank You Hack 7.7

About this hack:
One of the biggest problems on forums as you may know is 'posts boosting'. There are users who LOVE to say 'thanks' when ever they can. How can it hurt? Their post count goes up, they have nothing to loose.

There are also users who really like to express their thanks to post but don't like posting a post that looks like they're post boosting.

Then comes the moderators who have to delete people's thanks yous so a thread can look readable with out the thanks yous thrown around.

Finally comes the posters of these useful posts. They have no idea how many people really likes their posts if only some people say 'thanks'.

What this hack does is fix ALL these problems - except those users who like post boosting. This places a button called 'thanks.' When a user clicks on it, it places his username in a box right under the post saying that so-and-so says 'thanks' for the post. Every-one who clicks is placed in one box.

By giving your users the extra feature, you forum will look allot nice and organized. It is a guaranteed liking by ALL the members of your forum.

Does this change anything on the post table in the db? Ours is HUGE, and it seems to be doing nothing after I import the xml. It sits there at "Importing Product, Please Wait..." . The browser's "page load" indication has stopped running as well for that page.

I can check the mysql processlist, if someone can tell me what I should be looking for.

I restarted mysql, and am checking the tables for errors now. It looks like it is listed in the plugins.

It's enabled, but not showing up in the posts.

I wonder what happened?

Hi

Im using this brilliant hack long time ago, but recently discovered that when unifying consecutive posts of the same user, with thanks in each of the posts, the thanks are not unified neither accumulate, instead the thanks are being deleted. Which is a big problem in my community.

Any idea how to solve this issue?

I would appreciate your help, thanks a lot.

Does anyone have an idea as to how to reset all thanks counts... I want to start the number of thanks once again!

Thanks

Hiya

I just installed this new v7.7, my product page showed I had v5.3 installed, and when installing this version, to upgrade, I now have every members "thanks" and "thanked" counts reset to zero???

Now I gotta go grab those tables from the DB backup and restore the users table thanks and thanked...

Any idea what happened?

I just upgraded a few days ago from vb3.6.1, to 3.8.0 stable, and the original thanks buttons and thread statistics all vanished too, thus I figured that was down to reverting the templates that priginally had to be hacked 2+ years ago when I first installed this..

There seems to be a problem for Opera users with this mod, some members are complaining at my forums...

Using this with vB 3.8 and it's working.

One minor bug: In the Admin CP, there's an item under the Post Thanks menu titled Post Thanks Settings but clicking on it just brings up a blank page with nothing but the vB version and copyright line.

The settings are all there in vBulletin Options, however.
