From an older version change log, it appears it should already be in. Did you follow everything?

Is there anyway that you can thumb up/down users ONLY of the first post and disabled on other replies?

Yes, there is an option on admincp.
Check the option "Only first post" (set to YES).

Hi Scandal

Is there any plans to add your great mod to the famous products like vbtube and photopost?

[tr1cky]

Can you add an option to hide posts when they have a negative count of X and then users can they decide to expand the post or not.

Hi, lovin this Mod.

Is it possible to change the position of the Thumbbox?
Would be nice to have it left of the edit-button.

[Draffi]

maybe it is a good idea, when a Thumbs up/down is combined with the vb renomme System?

You can Enter the Value for this (per usergroup) in the admincp.

E.g a Thumbs up is +10 Points in the vbulletin Renommee System.

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.

I don't believe I have received a response but maybe my post was unclear.



The top image has an error indicated by the arrows as when you hover over the number it pushes the number/thumb to the left, but the bottom image you can see it perfectly aligned. The top image moves to the left as when the post has only 1-2 lines, but the bottom image doesn't as it has 4-5 lines in the post.

Is there a way that the right slider bar doesn't appear for the top image. Even better would be that if the right and bottom slider bar be removed completely, is that possible?

You can't see it but the top image continuous changes and moves back and forth from the top image to the bottom image to the top image to the bottom image.

Also is there a way to add a title to the image to say 'Vote Here' or 'Thumbs Up' so it makes it clearer to the reader that the thumbs up means you can vote there.

Thanks, Jay

PS - if the above is a result of my VB skin, could you just show how to put the 'thumbs up' after the content of the post? Thanks

Will you be adding the guest accessibility?

I would like to see that as well.

I am not fussed if the guest can use it but i would like them to see the number of thumbs up/down votes and if they hover over the thumbs it comes up with something like You are not logged in or you do not have permission to use the Thumbs up/down rating system.

One other thing is there a setting to have one thumbs up/down per post so you can not give a post a thumbs up and a thumds down on the same post?.

The thumbs graphic shows up like this on my forum:


Does anyone know how I could modify the size/graphic to my liking?

Thank you!
