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.

What's the problem with me?I have 2 sites, one disabled problematic ajax and one enable all, but both of them has this problem. Thankyou in advanced
Hi guys, these just a small problem,
follow these of my step that i just figure out why these happen to alot of forum.
1) if your board is not fresh install vb3.7.2, but up grade from vb3.xx to the lastest version, then this happen, ok now we solve this, looking for skin default from the vB3.7.2 and copy everything in headinclude and replace into headinclude of the current skin that you use, then you be fine,
i belive there not just this problem, alot of more headache ahead...but you guys didn`t find out yet, good luck
Solved, the problem was that by having the same location that vbexperience, this was hidden. Changing the location of vBexperience will solve the problem.
I recently upgraded this hack from 7.4 to 7.7 and we have been experiencing only one problem with it.
is anyone else having this problem....
when the Thanks button is pressed the whole page refreshes and goes to the top of that post. This can be irratating at times when there are long posts and you are still trying to read other posts after that.
It used to stay at the same location on the page and the Thanks would just appear, I am not sure if this was considered a refresh or not, but was more convenient that way.
BTW... this is still a great hack regardless of this minor issue.:up::up:
