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 granted liking by ALL the members of your forum.
[FIXED] Bug with AJAX if you had the date showing.

I've searched this thread, but maybe I missed it so please bear with me
Is there a way to see in the Admin control panel who has been thanked the most - or say, the top 10 thanked users etc.? I'm running the 2.6a version I believe.
I'd like to use incentives to prompt people to make posts that are worthy of being thanked - it would really help to be able to track these be being able to tell which members are being thanked the most.
Are you looking at other users posts or yourse? Do you have more then one style? You have to do the template edits to each one.
I'm looking at everyone's posts. I can see the written words in the post bit and profile just can't see the thanks button.
Yes, I have more than one style and I've only edited the default style as the other styles aren't live yet. Do I need to edit the templates on the other styles for this to work as well?

You need to have the edits in any style that you want to see it.

I've been hunting for something like this for my forum and I'm on the brink of installing this as it is, but since you asked for suggestions I thought I'd give it a try.
I'm looking for the ability for my users to click a button to either "Agree" or "Disagree" with a post. Each click would display a thumbs up or down for the post. With the ability to click and see a list of who's clicked which.
Clearly this hack would go some way to achieving this, I'm no coder so have no idea how much extra work would be involved, but I'm sure it something a lot of people would be very interested in.

Nice Idea It has been asked a few times already. I will be coming out with a hack soon called "Post Groan Hack". It will not ba part of this hack but you will be able to run them both together. This one will just have the same type of image just called "groan" and will have a thumbs down.
You need to have the edits in any style that you want to see it.
OK, well I only want it to show on my default style at the moment as the other styles aren't live yet so I've only edited the templates for the default style but the thanks button isn't showing up?
