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 I started reading this thread, but 96 Sites is way to much :/ So my question is if there is any Hide-Hack that`ll work fine with this hack? I`m totally new to vB so I am not sure if there`s one.

Love this hack. Still working well on 3.8.1
I am working to try to remove the "remove all" thanks that the admin sees because the "Thanks" button is directly above it and I have almost removed all thanks in error before.
SELECT * FROM post_thanks AS post_thanks INNER JOIN user AS user USING (userid) WHERE post_thanks.postid IN () ORDER BY post_thanks.username ASC;
MySQL Error : You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ') ORDER BY post_thanks.username ASC' at line 1
Error Number : 1064
This is a great hack along with the Groan hack. I wanted to change my groan hack text color to red (The Following 5 Users Say) How can I do this without changing the Thank you hack to red?
