I just read most of this thread because I saw it as a MOTM candidate. This is 99% what I have been looking for a long time and perhaps with a little bit of convincing the remaining 1% can be added by the developer.

It reminds me of the points system reddit uses. What I am missing is:

1. What happens if a post receives a negative points count? 10 thumbs down for example. Will it show -10?
2. Can a threshold be configured if a post receives a certain negative count that it collapses or is greyed out or something to that effect? Example -3 thumbs = post collapsed and can now only be read by pressing small plus symbol to return to normal view. If it receives enough positive thumbs it will be returned to a regular looking post.
3. I noticed in the screenshots that you show the total of thumbs received as a sum of all thumbs but not as a calculated value of positive thumbs minus negative thumbs. Example: 30 ups and 10 downs. You show 40 total, while I would like to see a score of 20 for that user.

In any event I will test drive this and perhaps some of my concerns will be answered by itself that way.

Looks like an awesome addition.

1. Yes, it shows -10. If receives, for example, 10 thumbs down and 4 thumbs up, it shows -6.
2. Interesting idea, but I'm not sure how useful would be a function like this.
3. hmm, what screenshots shows this logic of calculation? The system calculates the thumbs, like you describe on your example: 30 ups and 10 downs = 20 not 40!

There used to be a add-on for vb that did that but it got neglected by its author and never carried over into vb4.x. My users loved it.

I spend lots of time on reddit and they use it. Here is a link to some random thread there. Note how some posts/comments are collapsed because they get enough down votes. http://www.reddit.com/r/science/comm...ter_scientist/ Look for [+]

Nothing happens. At all. The page just stays the same. When thumbs up is turned off - I can edit picture comments.

2. Do you have any edit to the template sc_thumbs_headinclude?
You may try to revert this template, 'cause v1.9 has new code for it.

Ok, I'll have a look and will write about the result.
Thank you!

@scandal:

It would be nice, if you have a solution for this, because it looks sometimes a little weird...

good work.
but
is this a simple bug ?

"Received:0/0" <---but Data is "GIVEN"
"Given:0/0" <---but Data is "RECEIVED".

Ok finally installed this add-on and I love it.

I am asking for an additional option to be added by the author or perhaps someone can point me in the right direction on how to modify this.

Thumps Up? - SCORE is what I am requesting where the sum of the received points gets calculated. Example: Thumbs received 30/10 would yield a score of 20 (30 positive thumbs and 10 negative= 20 positive thumbs)

That way we have single user ranking thumbs score that averages that users ratings.

Perhaps make it an option to enable/disable for that those that find it useful.

Thank you. Awesome hack. Hope you win the August competition.
