'Thank you' Hack, boofo, come here

[Boofo]

Sorry to be late. All we really need to display are the names like this:

VBDev, Boofo

Unless it would be better to add the dates like this:

VBDev (3-31-2004), Boofo (2-25-2004)

Would there be a way to add an option tio use the date (as above) or not use the date (like the first quote)? That would it would appeal to more people, I think.

But it would be nice to have them alphabetical and link to their profile. Easier to find.

And it would be nice to have the option to input the name you want as the owner of the tnak you message without it actually having to have a userid.

That, with an option to turn it on or off per forum. Sounds like we have a winner.

For those who don't know what this hack does, here is an explanation.

It will add a Thank You button (like the new reply button) at the top off threads that when clicked for the first time, will make a Thank you post that will add the name of the the user clicking it in the message. Each time it is clicked after the first time, the persons who click it will have their name added to the post.

This is a way to keep threads clean from all of the "Thank you" and "Great Hack" and "I like it" type posts that that can clutter up a thread. Invision Board has a hack like this and it really works great on keeping the threads a little cleaner from "junk posts", as I call them.

I haven't understood this

For date option : no problem
For alphabetical order with link to their profile : no problem too

We need an Admin CP option to be able to only use it in certain forums.

[VBDev]

Ok, that is already done

[Boofo]

Ok, how do we set up who the thank you message is from. Maybe the person who started the thread or a Thank you bot?

[VBDev]

You mean to say who was the first to click on this tank you button in the thread ?

[Boofo]

We would want it from the person who started the thread or a user that doesn't exist, right? Or is there a better way to do that? What is your idea on it?

[VBDev]

??

You want the post to be from the first user who has clicked this button ? It it what you mean ?

[Boofo]

No, the post should be from someone else, like a thank you bot maybe? What do you think?
