Post Thank You Hack 7.4

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.

So what are the installation instructions for 3.6.9 then?

Thanks for this.

It works in my 3.6.9 for the most part. The only thing that doesn't show is the "[username] has been thanked X times". Which is likely me screwing up somewhere again..

I can only tell you that I followed the 3.6.8 upload instructions (and my idiotic mistake was uploading the "upload_via_ftp" folder, rather than uploading the contents of that folder into the appropriate vBulletin folders on my server), and did not edit the templates.

My skin is iSkin from extremepixels.

after that our domain has filtered in our country and we registered some new domains and used "Parked Domains" but vs-hide hack not worked on new domains and we tried to ask supporters to make a key file to use with some other domains (But on one site).
They supporters did not answer me from months ago !!!!
Now I saw new version of your hack support all of our need but the problem is calculated reputations and count on thanks !
I mean if I install your hack can I import all thanks count and reputation level that calculated with thanks and other informations from vs-hide hack?

thanks alot

YOOOOHOOOOO !!!!

The 3.6.8 upload instructions make no sense for 3.6.9 because all the template edits are already done. There are no template edits to do, but the system still doesn't work.
