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.

Can't get this working 3.8.4 .... doesn't show the "thankyou" button not sure why. Uninstalled..... wish I could have gotten this working.
Make sure the Thanks image is uploaded to your servers correct folder for buttons next time be patient before uninstalling and simply disable it until you receive an answer to try .

Some people haven't fully moved over to 4.0 and I'm getting update notifications about my module being out of date. And this is important because if a security problem for your module comes out, I'm sure you would want to put an update out and let people know that your module has issues. Or it will be removed from vbulletin.org
Agreed (what?! shoot me later Abe )

Thankyou
Move the hook location if your unfamiliar how to do that PM me and I'll post back here so everyone benefits from the reply.
I'm having a problem with this hack, it works OK in the default template, but i can't get it to work into my custom one. The image is in the correct directory i've also tried some template changes that i found in this post https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....postcount=1752 but that didn't work either, any suggestions?

Same with me, it works in default but not my custom layout.
How do i change in the postbit, the format of the info that shows you how many thanks do you have or do you give. I mean i want that this text is in big bl;ack.
An option I'm missing is that the reputation given to a thanked user is not based on a fixed number but on the actual reputation power of the user who gives the thanks. Or am i overlooking this feature?
