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.

Is it possible to edit the post bit myself rather than automatic edit?
I only want to know as How many times user has been thanked in post bit rather this and also the one "How many he thanked in how many posts"
Plus it shows up under the Mood feature. I want to show where I want to. I could not any way to turn off the automatic editing of postbit template. Any help please.
Hey guys, I installed this hack on my forum and it's great and all but about a month or 2 after I installed it, I have been getting the following PHP error on the top of my thread pages:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/functions_post_thanks.php on line 183
Can anyone help me fix this? I checked line 183 and there is nothing wrong with the foreach but here is the entire line 183 code anyways:
This is great! I highly prefer this idea to the stars rating and this looks like it's darn close to what I've been looking for.
Is there an easy way (I'm still pretty new to this) for just the number of thanks to go up but not show: the amount of thanks given or the member names of those who have said thank you? Also does the amount of "thanks" for a thread show up in the forum titles like the rating stars do? If it's not possible at this time perhaps in the future?
It does not show up on the forumdisplay page. This is per post hack, not based on a thread.

Thank you!
It only runs one query extra for each showthread page. It should not slow your forum down at all. I have done tests on huge forums and they are running great with this hack installed.

Thanks.
Do you have GARS installed? Can I take a look at your ACP? Others have been reporting it but I would like to get down to how it happens exactly.
