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.

Hello, i installed this hack on my vbulletin(3.7.1) but when i hit thanks button nothing happens.
The button dissappears until the next refresh an nothing is shown below the post.
Could you please help me?
EDIT
I installed the 7.4 version and everything works perfect now!
I have the same problem
will there be soon an upgrade for the 7.5 to fix this
or must I also use for now 7.4 - in case yes,
can I just overwrite my current 7.5 then?
I am using an older version and it is working with 3.7.1. Will the newer version work as well? Also, how can I upgrade the "thanks" mod without losing the customizations that I've made to how the THANKS appear (if it's possible)?
I tried to search for my question, but had no luck. I've installed this, working great. One question. Is there a code I can edit so the message The Following User Says ThankYou to Becky For This Useful Post: actually does not show up after the post? I like that you can find them in the user stats, but it seems crowded having them in the threads.
