On admincp settings about Thumbs Up? there is the option to Ban Usergroups of using the system:

This option is on settings, not on usergroup manager.

hmm I don't understand the problem.
If the language of your site is set to English, the system works fine, but if you turn to Polish, and try to thumb, the box disappear? What with error message?

(sorry for my bad English :erm: )

This problem You can see when You install mod on language number 1 (in my example polish) and next you change language to number 2 (english). Now try vote. Box with thumbnails disappear and error doesn't appear.

BTW. And what you thing about my proposition about box on forumdisplay?
Example (but in this example looks ugly):

This box can be like optional function

Can you let me know what is your usergroup ID its users has this problem? (no permission). Also check if the problem is only for your test account. Other users on this usergroup has the same problem?

Try this change temporary to see the error: Go to admincp > vBulletin Options > General Settings, and disable All AJAX features. Then try to vote and let me know the error message.

The box you describe is for "thumb up/down" threads, or a sum of post thumbs for each thread?

I test mod on localhost like admin and registered user. Both usergorups have this error.

I disabled ajax features and got the same error:
"admin, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation."

Described box is for sum of thumbs up for first post. Of course You can do this box for others options like counting every thumbs in topic or displaying sum of thumbs up and sum of thumbs down.

Very strange
What your vBulletin version?

If you couldn't thumb a post, the buttons would be "grey" ("not allowed"). Has anyone the same problem?

hmm, do a right click on a button (up or down), copy the url and paste it here.

I use 3.8.6 on localhost but in few minutes I install and check mod on my forum.

EDIT: On my forum I have the same problem (I use vBulletin 3.8.7 Patch Level 3).

Let's do some edits, just for testing.
1. Open file thumbs.php and delete the lines:

// check security
if (!verify_security_token($securitytoken, $vbulletin->userinfo['securitytoken_raw'])) {
print_no_permission();
}

then try to use the system.
2. Open file includes/functions_sc_thumbs.php and find the function:

function thumbed_already_check

change the line:

return false;

to

return true;

then try to use the system
3. On the same file, find the function:

function is_in_banned_usergroup()

change the line:

return false;

to

return true;

then try to use the system
4. On the same file, find the function:

function is_in_banned_list()

change the line:

return false;

to

return true;

then try to use the system
5. On the same file, find the function:

function is_a_banned_forum($forumid)

change the line:

return false;

to

return true;

then try to use the system
