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.

So you are saying, to make this right, after upgrading to vB 3.7 and installing the new plugin version, the post_thanks table on the backup should be copied to the new database then use the Recount feature ? That's all ??
Please unless you really know what you are doing in regards to mysql do not do this. I would hate to be the cause of you blowing something up. I know what worked for me and me alone. I am NOT an expert!
I have a question. I have this hack installed, and all is fine. Except, for some reason in the user CP it's listing under their statistics twice.
See image.
Everything works! Only problem I see is there is no icon for where you click thanks. All there is the word thanks. No thumbs up! Anyone know why and yes i uploaded the image!
You need to copy the post_thanks.gif into your specialized style's folder /images/buttons.

Hi every one, i have this question, incase a post with a 1000 or more users Thanks, then that post page showing very long down, that be slowing down, any thing to fix that problem ? such as Collapse its or some ? Thanks

Upgraded to the latest vB and removed the old 6.4 Thank You hack thinking it would preserve all the data for when I installed this new version and it did not. Spend the last 5 hours putting the data back into the post_thanks table by hand, all 65,000+ entries through mysqladmin.
Now how do I reconnect this data with the users and with the posts so it shows up in the forums?
There has to be a couple of sql commands that will do this, but my brain is dead. Please help!
Make sure you put the post_thanks table back with all the data then run the recounters from the post thanks options.
Does anyone know where I would change the execution order of this plug-in?
Basically, the search link shows up after my google search box, I'd like it to show before that box. Since this uses a hook it's not as straightforward as just editing the navbar template.
If you click to edit the plug-in, it gives you an option on what order to do it in.
I have a problem
when 1 members are delete and other uses are in favour of his argument and uses thank button so they this error
Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in [path]\post_thanks.php on line 57
