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 granted liking by ALL the members of your forum.

Hi Abe. We installed this on a brand new 3.5 gold and now we are recieving this error whenever a post is made:
Quote:
Warning: file_get_contents(/forum/includes/blacklist.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /includes/functions_newpost.php(333) : eval()'d code on line 50
We looked on the server and the file named functions_newpost.php does appear to be there. How should we correct this? Thanks.
Ok ICQ ist bad, im in the office now. But the error occures every time i klick any post to thank. Before installing the new version (i did it two times) i run these queries (and the ones in the manual):
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS post_thanks;
ALTER TABLE `user` DROP `post_thanks_user_amount`;
ALTER TABLE `post` DROP `post_thanks_amount`;
ALTER TABLE `user` DROP `post_thanks_thanked_posts`;
ALTER TABLE `user` DROP `post_thanks_thanked_times`;
DELETE FROM `settinggroup` WHERE `grouptitle` = 'post_thanks' LIMIT 1;
DELETE FROM `setting` WHERE `grouptitle` = 'post_thanks';

DELETE FROM `settinggroup` WHERE `grouptitle` = 'post_thanks' LIMIT 1;
DELETE FROM `setting` WHERE `grouptitle` = 'post_thanks';
There was no reason to run this. Anyways, now unistall the product and then re-install it. Also, after you unistall the product, rn the 4 queries I meantion to run if you are upgrading.
Great hack, I've installed it again after the upgrade to 3.5
But ... I've got a little problem: you see the users who thanked someone double.
