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.

Big issue when upgrading to 2.5 - all members that have been thanked over 1,000 times now read as "Thanked 1 time in 1 post"
Just spent over an hour rebuilding all of the thankyou stats and that didn't resolve it.
vb_number_format should be used for display only. If any calclations are to be done with the data then a unformated version must be used or you get lot's of incorect results.
is there anywhere I can download a previous version of this? namely 2.2 which is what I was running before and it worked perfectly - tommorrow it'll be a week that all of the top contributers on my forum read 'Thanked 1 time in 1 Post'
