Post Thank You Hack 4.5




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.

Features:
  • Uses vBulletin easy Product installer/updater/uninstaller
  • Uses AJAX technology so your users don't have to refresh when they thank.

What would be nice, would be the ability to set it so that it gives the reputation that they would have gotten if they clicked on give reputation, but this way they get the same by somebody clicking on thanks, and then they also get an added count to thanks

Thanks for this fantastic mod!

It works great, easy installation though this mod is conflicting with Reputation points because when a post has been thanked, it cannot be given reputation points as it gives back this error:

"vBulletin Message

You cannot give Reputation to the same post twice."

how do I remove this conflict?
