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.

1. After MOD/SMOD/ADMIN use QuickEdit to edit a post, the "THANKS" button will be disappeared !
2. After removing THANKS in a post, THANKS-Counter of the Poster (who get THANKS) is decreased, but THANKS-Counter of the Giver (who give THANKS) isn't decreased !
Same problem for me ... looks like a html error somewhere..
Did you do a refresh on your page after you sent to know or just tested it on a page already there. There is a differant button script if you set to no.

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.

I refreshed the page just to be safe.
When i click the link it brings up a popup than redirects the popup to the existing thread.
PROBLEM:
Someone bad man (as logged user) came to forum and add above 1000 THANKS for posts in different threads. He was banned but..... QUESTION:
What SQL query i must run additionaly to that one:
Code:
DELETE FROM `post_thanks` WHERE `userid` = XXXX
Because others counters (like postthank's) are still in threads.

Yes. That would be the right query to remove all thanks given by that user.
