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 still getting the 'table not existing' emails so I will delete the files and see if that helps.
It's odd that I've deleted all the files that I uploaded and uninstalled the product and I am still gettting error messages that state the forum.post_thanks table doesn't exist.
I would almost guarantee that the issue is with my lousy host.
If you have a big board it's probably because the installation sequence is still running where it attempts to index each post and check for thanks while building the thanks table and as the table for that now doesn't exist because you've uninstalled it you are now getting the errors.
You'd have to find the process on your server and kill it either through the server control panel like plesk or using ssh....etc or just wait until it bottoms out.
There may be remnants of the installleft behind which is causing the action, i suggest, close your board, upload the files, reinstall the product, wait for the processes to finish then uninstall.
processes of indexing. If you install it again it may even correct the issue, but remember with a big board it can take some time and even time out, if it does just start the install again and it should happen quite quickly.
You'd have to check your server for the processes to see whats running.

pliz hellp for mi
This is caused by using PHP Version >= 5.3.x - Silencing the error inside the post_thanks.php should not be the final solution, since the problem is still there, you only dont see it anymore.
It says the plugin is not supported anymore - any chance somebody else could upgrade the script so that we can use it with newer PHP Versions?
