nice one, Tiny thing when thumbs up! given the icon turns into thumbs down for a user. it's a little confusing. lots of my users PMed me and asked to fix it cos they though the pressed Up! but antecedently pressed Down Can we have something else instead?

Or at list a function to allow or dissalow to take off given Thumbs.

[fishmaster]

Any ideas..

Had to uninstall to make the forum readable again.

You're free to change the file of the red button with something you like. For example you can use this:
Attachment 140332
(it is an inverted green button)
... just rename it to down.png and replace it with the already file.
You can use every button you like, by replace the down.png.

A notice: you should reupload the normal red button if you decide to enable the Thumbs down votes.

However, if you have use facebook, you'll see that normally it has not "dislike" choice for contents BUT if you push "like", to undo it you must push a phrase named "dislike". That may means that we dislike ALL content of facebook since we push a "like".

Are you sure you had upload correctly the necessary files to your forum directory?
On your forum root there are these directrories:
/admincp/
/clientscript/
/images/
/includes/
.. you should upload the files as there are in the folder packet of *zip attached to the first post. Files thumbs.php and thumbs_center.php must be to the same "root" directory with the above folders.

PS: Thank you all for your suggestion and ideas! I'm already working for the next release!

I see what do you mean. But yesterday ev things gone so weird I had to change the button in template to up_dis.png. Most of my users don't have any idea of facebook (who cares of fb, right? ).

But any way imo it would be really useful to have a function to disable ability to take off "Thums!" given. Ones given it stays grey and disabled, end of story.

pretty please

Working like a champ..

Very nice work and love it.

I use post-legacy style and just some minor issues.

With the people who are listed as thumbs up is there a way I can put in a right-margin it as the last letter is cut off on the right hand side.

Also, when the hover over the number of thumbs up, it's fine for posts with 4-5 lines but where there is a post with 1 lines it goes really weird. Just when I hover it, but otherwise it's fine.

[fishmaster]

Some issues with the display cutting off on the numbers...

Very cool, works on 4.2.0

First let me thank you for sharing this!

I've set it up so everyone can see the "+1 hand" when they don't have access, or to use it on them self.
The problem i'm having is that sometimes on some posts (not from themself) users complain that there is no hand, or there is but when they click it they get a "you don't have access to this page".

It's happing randomly, and it doesn't happend to all the users on the same post, i mean some users will get a you don't have access, but other will be able to thank for that post without any problem.

Do u have any clue what could be wrong? Thanks for your help, and sorry about my sucky english.

I made some 'сosmetic' changes for thumbs box.
Decrease the width from 150px to130px and aligned icon in box - now it's in the middle of the upper block.

<img src="images/buttons/up.png" border="0" alt="" style="vertical-align: middle" class="inlineimg" />
