• Users can't groan twice
• Guests don't see 'groan' button
• Counts how many groans a user gives
• Counts how many groans a post gets
• Shows how many groans a user gave in every post of his
• Shows how many groans a user gave in profile
• Shows how many groans a user got
• Shows info in profile

This hack, together with Thank hack, gives users opportunity to "vote" a single post as "good" or "bad" according to their taste. I find it useful for my board, as user received groans will be more careful in his / her next post...

Thank you for great addon. Been waiting for this version too long Plz consider integrate thank and groan in one packet, though

Great! Absolutely awesome.

But why is the Groan Button appearing before the Thanks Button? How to switch this Order?

Solved - changed the Order of processing the PlugIns.

Installed. Thanx Abe1.

I am using the vBulletin 3.6 groan hack on vBulletin 3.8 forums. Would I see any benefit in updating? If its not broken why fix it.

[Fynnon]

Usefull mod but can the groan be changed to something better understood like "bad post" or smth ?
i mean i know english but groan just don`t get this word...i don`t understand it and i have an international forum so many members will find out asking themselves : What is "groam" meaning ?

Thank You!

[hitmann]

Is it possible to have another image to display after someone clicks the Groan button?
