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.

Thanks for the hack, my members are going thanks crazy.
Would it be possible to include an option to limit the number of thanks per day?
Also, is it possible to make the "thanked box" under a post auto collapsed? So if you want to see who thanked, you need to click to expand in order to view the thankees. (is that even a word??)
Would it be possible, by a template edit perhaps, to turn the 'Post Thanks' tab off in MEMBERINFO?
Currently it is looking for $template_hook[profile_left_last], but I can't figure it out
When the original thread starter presses "Remove All" the 'thanks' button appears in the postbit_legacy, even though the option is set to not allow the ability to thank oneself. Pressing this button does nothing, it just dissapears. It seems the check for this option is ignored when removing all the thanks, just thought I'd let you know.

Any idea on what I did wrong? Thanks in advance.
I have the same problem.
noted by abe1 to other "have to see APC"
What do i need to do? Would love to use this... I installed it on 3.6.8 and it appears almost as nothing has changed at all on our forum.
first I'd like to thank you very much for this modification, it's really massive !
Though, I've got a bug (I think) in this hack.
I regulary hear complainments about that users can't see the hidden part after thankin', not even after refreshing. Also I hear a lot that they can see the hidden part after thankin', but if they go away and come back to see the hidden part again, it won't show up again.
Also I get this error if I want to search at all thanked post for a user:
Code:
Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.
I have a great Idea for The Developer for another Version of this Hack, Instead of having Thanks why not have Laughs, Would the The Developer of this hack be possible to do that and Publish it as I'd really like that and also I think other people here would aswell.l
Thanks
You can edit the image and all the phrases how you'd like.

The way it work, it would be not possible normally. Would have to be by post and not forum wide.
