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.

I have this plugin installed for some weeks and it works fine, but my users suggest me that a good add on could be to have the possibility to choose the phrase which will appear with the reputation count I mean the $vbphrase[post_thanks_thanked_post] phrase. (Thanked Post)
The idea would be to select one phrase from a list randomly or picked by the user
Well its only a suggestion for that great hack
thanks
1) There maybe nothing I can do about that. I have seen this hppen to other hacks that put buttons there also.
2) I will look into. I assum you are talking about where you mass remove thanks.
1. You may misunderstood. I tested your hack on a totally fresh board & QuickEdit is not a hack, it's a feature available in vBulletin 3.5.x.
2. Yes you should. A fresh board with only 2 usernames : A & B. A give B a "THANK", then A remove it. B will have 0 "thanked" but A still have 1 thank given out. This also happen with mass remove by Admin. You got one plugin which miss reducing thank-given-counter of thank-giver. I wanted to help you fix this but I couldn't understand "name" meaning of variables you used.
Hopefully you feel happy when someone help you find out bugs even they could be right or wrong

I will (try to) fix number 2.
As for number one, it has to do with the quick eidt. There is something there that it does not pull all the post_bit info. The same thing appens when you quick reply but you wont realize it because you dont allow your self you thank you own posts.
This thank you phrase is missing now
(User Name) says you are very welcome. Your thanks will show up once you refresh the page you gave the thanks in.
oh yes, popup show post we ckicked thank button but not show phrase (User Name) says you are very welcome. Your thanks will show up once you refresh the page you gave the thanks in.
please fix
