Hello.
Yes, this night I go to view this servers logs, I need to filter because in the last days I have migrated from the server and I had to make adjustments in the new one (I assume I will have errors that have nothing to do with it).
Filter and post results.

Hi,
First of all, thank you for this mod, it's a great one and just what I looked for!

While testing things in my site I've faced some very wired issue, when opening the dropdown (clicking on username) in the usernote.php page, all the ids in the links are of the user that those notes are of him, so all the actions are applying to him and not to the note's writer.

After some searches and digging I found that the problem is in the "/dbtech/thanks/hooks/statistics.php" file.
The solution is very simple and you can find it in the attached file, all it does is to get the `posterid` column instead of the `userid` column when the script is in notes.php.

Hope it will help you to improve this mod even more,
Eran.

I found it in the file named proxy_access_ssl_log in the logs folder. Maybe your server has different configuration.

Yes, of course!

This is the error_logs in apache, I have others logs in others folders but I search and not view about "thanks".

[MentorBR]

The thank and approve dbtech_thanks buttons have stopped working after upgrading the http forum to https.

I also updated the vb4.2.3 forum to vb4.2.5 and I don't know if that could also be the cause.
Can someone give me a hand?

[djbaxter]

Your best bet is to contact DBTECH directly.

However, changing to https or upgrading should not be an issue to prevent them working.

Try one of these sites to check what isn't converting to SSL:

https://www.jitbit.com/sslcheck/

https://www.whynopadlock.com/

[MarkFL]

I'm using the pro version of this product on a site running vB 4.2.5 and converted to SSL, and it continues to work.
