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.

Hey Abe1 are you aware of any problems with the "Delete All of a Users Thanks" feature in the admincp?
Because on mine, when I use it, it only removes 1 thank they gave each time I do it, so if a user has 50 thanks, I would have to click "Delete All of a Users Thanks" button 50 times.
Thought I'd bring this to your attention that it is not working on my site. thanks.
I have just upgrade from 3.5.4 to 3.6.7 and re-installed this modification but now the post thanks button isn't showing and the thanks in the post bit isn't displaying either although it does show on member's profile

Remove all template edits you made for this hack and make sure you have the latest update to your templates that VB wants you to have.
sorry if this has been posted before but there are 94 pages to check through!!
great hack, seen it on other sites and installed on mine. However, have you any idea why this happens?
and it continues ad infinitum down the page, adding 1 each post!
if i turn the mod off i still get the 'thanked x times in x posts' on the left, but the 'thanks' button is gone.
if i choose to only have the first post with a thanks button then they all have 1 button but multiple 'thanked x times in x posts' at the left.
