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.

No, it will find all the posts that that user thanked another user.
If you want to change the way it displays (i.e. "Thanks"), you can search for in the phrases and change it there. For my site I have put "Received Thanks" and "Gave Thanks". I was also confused on how ti was worded so I changed it :P
When someone clicks on the Thanks button, it disappears but no bar is added under the post and if they go back to see if it "took," the Thanks button re-appears as if they never thanked in the first place.

nope.it [find all thanked posts by X user] is showing posts in which user has been thanked.
Hello, thanks for this great mod. Actually i want to remove the part that displays in the postbit. I disabled the related hooks postbit_display_start and postbit_display_complete but this disable the whole mod. Is there any solutions to this?
