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 have a little problem though, i have my own customized postbit_legacy,
as will as another plugin " Chief First Post - Every Page [Forum Based] " to keep the first post at the top, on all pages.
for some reason the addon is not showing on the first post.
is there any possibility to add the addon manually to the postbit legacy?
Check the settings in this Mod, there is a option to not allow the thanks for the first post of a thread. Insure this option is not active.
however the same problem, the first post doesn't have the Post Thank you
i am sure it is something to do with my customized postbit_legacy, i may have deleted some needed coding by the hack, if i use the default postbit_legacy it works perfectly... however i still need to use a customized one
I had an old version of the hack and for some reason spam bots like thanking every post they could is there a way to delete all thanks from members with 0 posts and if not could i just reset or clear all the thanks. also after I upgraded to the newest version of the thank hack half my styles lost the thank you button and the list of thank yous , any clue why?

Running 7.7 and got tons of these spam/hack emails from my board today. Not sure if there is a hole, but found it not good they are trying to execute SQL here:
