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.

It worked fine for a year, but now my users randonmly have over 4 billion thanks (probably the thanks counnter variable's maximun), it's there a way to fix it?
I have the same problem.Now i have some members which have 4 billions thanks.I asked them if they know anything about this...but they don't...so i hope it will be fixed.
I have vBulletin 3.8.4 Patch Level 2 installed this everything works but the there is no thank you button in the post. Is there a simple fix?
Are you sure you have the images in the right folder? Is the product enabled?, Have you got the settings right for posting thanks?
Remember unless you turned it on you won't see the thanks button in your posts, or you may have it set for only the first post or you may have a post count restriction set.
I used it out of the box on 3.8.4 and have upgraded to 3.8.5 with no problems.

Yep I put the image under the default and my custom theme ./wrimages/buttons/
Product enabled. I checked settings everything looks right.. Just nothing shows up in the post. i can see the thank you stats in there profile.

I think you will find that because you have changed the name of your images file you will need to do that in the mod too! wrimages is referenced in the mod as images.
How do you have you variables set up? are you using this $stylevar[imgdir_button] to display all your other buttons i.e pointed to the style vars, you should have your images/buttons location set in the Style Vars at this point Button Images Folder
This is the folder containing all the button images for this style.
The location of this folder can be overridden by a language setting
