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.

I'm having an issue whereas each time a person gets thanked, it's counted twice instead of once. For instance, if one person thanks another, it says the following two people have thanked you for xxx post. Anyone seen this before? Where can I go to fix it? I've been searching but haven't been able to find a solution.
I'm also having permissions problems where the forum gives me a page permission error after submitting a thanks about someone. I'm thinking that this mod is gonna have to go soon if there is no support here for it anymore...

Personally, i would uninstall the mod, remove all uploaded files, reverse any template issues you made then reinstall afresh, dont make any template changes and see how the mod works, if it performs as it should then it was a template chnage that caused the duplication...etc, i have it installed on my site and have had it installed since using 3.7.x, i've always upgraded (well not to nasty nasty vb4.0.x) im now on 3.8.6 and it still works perfect!
Thanks for the suggestion. I have been busy installing Tapatalk on my sites but once I get that done, I am going to tackle this one again. My users really want it.
After I installed this mod, I received the following message after trying to "Thank" a post:
Quote:
404 Not Found
The requested URL /forums/post_thanks.php was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found
error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Took me an hour to figure this out & in the end, I bypassed uploading the initial "post_thanks.php" file. Because all those folders are over the top of it, it's easily missed.
I have a feeling that several members have done the same exact thing.
Uninstalled and now i get this error every few hours, any help much appreciated!
