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.
New option: Remove User's Thanks Count When Deleting Post
New phrase: post_thanks_search_user_gave
FIX User reputation level now updates. (Thanks to liwo for this one.)
NEW Added option to view all posts a user has thanked.
FIX Fixed Special Action - Delete All of a Users Thanks
FIX Should have fixed some 'foreach()' errors.
Version 7.3 (03/15/08):
Updated file: functions_post_thanks.php
Updated template: post_thanks_memberinfo_block
Deleted template: post_thanks_memberinfo_css
New option: Choice to use Markup Usernames or not. (Thanks to Namaless)
New option: Ban User from Getting Thanks
New option: Max Thanks a User can Give Per Day
FIX Fixed repeating bug on vb 3.6.7 forums.
CHANGE Changed where the post thanks info shows on the Profile Page. Moved to same box as statistics. (This will require a template edit if you are running vb3.7 beta 2-4)
Version 7.4 (03/21/08):
FIX: Fixed Profile Stats for vb3.7.0 RC1 users.
Please post your comments or suggestions for this hack. I read ALL posts.
MAKE SURE YOU CLICK INSTALL! You will get an email when a new version is released.
Pictures:
Showing the 'thanks' button and stats in Postbit
Showing post after 'thanks' (user view)
Showing post after 'thanks' with legacy posts (admin view)
I would like to be able to put a 'quick thanks' button in the threadbit template so a user can thank the first post in a thread without neccessarily having to view it - also to mark the thread as read at the same time.
This sounds strange - but but would be VERY useful on my site!
Any chance of a clue how I might go about hacking the hack?
Hello.
I have just installed your product in a vb 3.6.7, and have followed exactly the instructions for the installation.
But now. Whenever I want to see a post. it gives me the following error message:

Is it possible to change the term "thanks" to something else? Long thread, I only briefly searched but didn't find anything in that short period of time.
I run a debate site, so there is no need to say "thanks". But we do encourage cogent argumentation for the opening post. Any way to say "Excellent opening argument!" or something like that? Or "Approve of good argumentation"? I don't know, doesn't really matter how it is said specfically, what matters is that I would need to change it from a "Thanks" hack to some sort of "approval / good job" hack by swapping the terms/phrases.

Yes - it's fully phrased so you can alter all the "Thanks" to whatever you want (or your could directly edit the product xml). You would have to create your own button.
got the latestvbulletin version and the thank you button display on every post but once i click on the thank youbutton ppl cant view who used the thnank you button
