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 mean all Thanks are there, below of each post except those (see attachment), even if the use has hundreds "Thanks"
Any help please.
P.S. Thanks are given after the re installation are counting normally.
Use the recounters found in the ACP.

I know about this. It should be fixed in next version.

Is it okay if i post the contents of my 'postbit " and "memberinfo" template here.....?
No need to. Just look over the template edits and make sure they are 100% the same as you have in your templates.

No way to do it. I tried but threads were not being marked read unless they had a poll in it.
I'm running 6.0 gold because my templates aren't updated. I am getting this error in the memberinfo area.
For every member it says "Thanked %1$s Times in %2$s Posts" rather than the actual thanks info.
I think it is because I installed 6.1, but upon realizing my templates weren't updated I replaced the files and installed 6.0 on top of it. Should I just wipe everything and reinstall freshly or is there something else I should do to fix it?
