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.

well as a "blonde guy" i need to ask..this mod works only in default v bulletin style....?or it can be done and in other styles...and if so can it be done with the "hide tag" involved with the post thank you hack..so that only the guys..that say thanks...could see the hide links..?in advance in black smart skin i see only thanks this...thank you in advance...!!!!
Can be used with any style but I know nothing about a hide hack.
I searched this thread, but didn't find an answer.
I just installed this today and everything looks great except that the "number of thanks received" and the "number of thanks given" stats aren't showing in postbit legacy.
I put the required manual template edit in both postbit and postbit_legacy, but the text still isn't showing up.

Any ideas?
I just realized the same thing. It does count when it's thanked but it only shows when I'm in my PM box. And yes, I have two styles. What should I do?
working perfect for me but i have 1 question. thanks button shows up after quick reply icon, i want thanks button to be before quote button then multi quote and quick reply.

You have to move the $template_hook near the controls then.
