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.

Please post your comments or suggestions for this hack. I read ALL posts.
MAKE SURE YOU CLICK INSTALL! You will get an email when a new version is released.
Pictures:
Showing the 'thanks' button and stats in Postbit
Showing post after 'thanks' (user view)
Showing post after 'thanks' with legacy posts (admin view)
But the current situation is the info is piling up for each user who posted in the thread, so by the last post the info is displayed mulitple times.
The patch would also nullify these "template hooks" replacment somewhere while executing the plugin!
I haven't installed the patch yet, but I'm also facing that the thanks box is being displayed on every post of the thread !! isn't being solved by the patch?
Best Regards
After installing new patch, the thank box shows after every single post. please help me, I don't know why it happens.
I am using VBB 3.8.7 PL1, even with default template, problem still there
It has to do with the vb template hook. You can move the hook and all hack will place buttons there.
I presume this means I have to edit a template? In that case I rather leave it where it is because I want to do as less template edits as possible.
Thanks for the quick answer!

You may want to move it since it is one edit and it will move all controls that any coder added to your forum.

Not sure what your fist question is but search phrases for 'post_thanks' and it will come up with all the post thanks phrases.
