Post Thank You Hack 7.4

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 guaranteed liking by ALL the members of your forum.

*Installed* Thankyou =0) vBulletin 3.6.5

Got everything to work alright except for one thing and I'm pretty sure that's cause of me LOL It's the part where we are chaning the navbar template... I've totally customized it so it's always different - I'll figure out that one eventually - Everything else was VERY easy and worked perfect from getgo =0)

Always, Bree

Make sure you installed it perfectly. Check to make sure you redid the template edits correct. Also, if you customized any of the post thanks templates, you have to revert them.

Here is what I am getting. I need help. I made the template changes, imported the product and am getting this in my postbit:

Join Date: Mar 2006

See the colon with the number of "thanks" as 0?

There is no button to give thanks. I uploaded the buttons though to my buttons/ folders.

Can anyone help a moron?

Oh, I am running 3.5.4 Will it work on this ?

I've got the same prob Abe...
I did all the template edits twice.
None of the post thanks templates have been customized.

I fixed it somehow...
I set "Integrate this hack with Post Thanks Hack?" to "No" in "Post Groan Hack" options.

Any way to color the list of people who have thanked? Like with the who's online list. Would be a nice edition.
