Seems a typo in user delete hook

on "userdata_delete", find

Code:

delete_groans($postinfo, $this->existing['userid'], false);

replace with

Code:

delete_groan($postinfo, $this->existing['userid'], false);

For some reason one of my usergroups is not able to groan even though they are not listed in the groups that aren't allowed to groan.

Hi, occasionally (but not always) a groaned post will not show the list of people who groaned, unless you actually groan it yourself. Is this a known issue?

Post Thanks Update for 4.0 is released - what about Post Groan?

Of course! It's the burden of writing good hacks. That'll teach ya.

The Post Thank You Hack is only half complete without Post Groan

But appreciate your work Abe1!
