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 have version 2.5 installed. How hard would it be to update to the current version? We're worried mostly about template changes...
If we're reading this right then after 2.7 there are no other template changes, correct? So we would go 2.5 to 2.6, and 2.6 to 2.7 and that should be it correct?
Yes. Go from 2.5 to 2.6, 2.6 to 2.7 and there where no template changes since then.
You know, if all hacks were done by Abe, we would all be up to date, supported, and happy. Abe1 you do a great job with your hacks bud. I hate callingthem hacks, I'll call them Add ons.
Yes. Go from 2.5 to 2.6, 2.6 to 2.7 and there where no template changes since then.
OK thank you Abe
And we agree with C_P above. We wish all coders were as nice and great as Abe is There is another coder who when you ask a simple straight forward question to, all she does is reply back with rude comments One of the reasons why we support Abe so much is because he is a great coder and he is also POLITE all of the time to everyone
I recently installed this and had v4.2 and everything worked fine. I just upgraded to v4.3.
Now when I someone thanks a post there is just a grey bar, the Thanks part does not appear unless they refresh their browser. Before it appeared immediately without the need for a refresh.
PS. I just downgraded back to 4.2 and the Thanks space again appears immediately without the need to refresh.
