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 guaranteed liking by ALL the members of your forum.

I'm sorry, but i dont see how that mysql has nothing to do with the postthanks hack.
It was the "thanks" in "reportthanks" phrase which made me think it was related to the postthanks hack. As it is, it turns out that regardless of what the SQL statement was related to, it was an underlying problem with the VPS hardware node.
Sorry about that. Thanks for the great program. :up:
In the default vB 3.7.1 skin, all features work, and it shows "thanked x in x posts", but in my custom skin, this wording does not appear under the username/stats on the left hand side in the postbit. All other features appear OK.
Do I need to add anything to my custom skin to make this appear? if so what do I need to add?
The thread will now be bumped to the top upon hitting thanks.
A note to the mod writer: this is a handy feature, and it'd be trivial to add an option in the admin panel to enable/disable the bumping of threads upon hitting thanks. Love the plugin.
[edit]
By the way, I'm on a 3.7.3 PL1 install for what it's worth.
Thank you for this wonderful mod . I have installed this on 3.7.4 version and works great. The only problem I have is when I set the Use Legacy (Vertical) Postbit Template option to yes the mod does not show up on the side but the thanks button is there. Any way to fix this so that the mod also shows up in the Vertical Position?

I have moved my cPanel server to another host, everything is working fine except the navigation settings link of Post Thank You Hack and some other hacks like that, when i click on "PostThanks Settings" its getting blank.
I've re uploaded all files and product, but no result, can you guide me how to resolve this problem?
thanks.
