Post Thank You Hack 4.5




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.

Features:
  • Uses vBulletin easy Product installer/updater/uninstaller
  • Uses AJAX technology so your users don't have to refresh when they thank.
  • Places an easy to use button next to the edit button

Its not a super large forum but it is growing and we get 600 yo 800 posts a day.. It just started being too much showing all the handles of the posters thanking and I had the groans also installed? This is a very nice hack - it just did not work out on my site?

I may come up with a way to hide them. It would be released for the vb3.6 version though.

I have 3.6.2 so if you do I can use it, that would be great... I will keep an eye on the 3.6.2 thread for any updates...

Thx

Great Hack

I think Carl's idea is a really good one and would love to see it implimented.

That aside, is there any idea when a vB 3.6.3 compatible version will be realeased? I could not see if the current version is compatible.

Thanks,

John

I`m not shure is this the right place to ask but...

I have installed Post Thank You Hack 2.0 GOLD on my 3.5 forum but i get this error when i merge posts into one thread or separate threads:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/class_postbit.php(251) : eval()'d code on line 125

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/class_postbit.php(251) : eval()'d code on line 135

How can i fix this? I reinstalled the hack but it removed all thanks from all my users. And this is my second question: can i bring back the oldest counts?

Just some questions, WIth this can you hide stuff with this mod and when the user clicks thanks the user cna see what's hidden
and also does it display how many thanks the user has recieved and how many it's given/
CAn you also check all the posts the user has been thanks in?

Would it be possible to only allow the OP to thank?

Reason im asking is because ive been thinking of creating a question forum, where questions are submitted by a form, and replied to by people that know the answer. However, I'd kinda like it if only the person that posted the question can thank the person, or people that replied. Think this would prevent thank you boosting by having anyone who read it to thank him/her.
