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.

This isn't working for 3.8 - causes a strange error where if you thank once, it records twice.
If I uninstall then reinstall, will it delete the existing thanks count for members?

I can't even uninstall it

It's working just fine for me with 3.83 (on two separate installations). If it's working for you, I don't see any reason to disable it.
I can't tell you why it's not working for some people, although I suspect some sort of conflict with another add-on and/or a custom style.
if sql query is run for update post counters will we loose the thanked post count ??
we use thank count to b added to post count as the option was available
Try searching for "secjurity token" here and at vbulletin.com. I recall that this was added to vB a while back and that several add-ons were affected by the change. There was a fix posted somewhere... just can't recall where now.
I got a small problem. I downloaded a template of my other forum and placed it on my new forum. But now i got in "Statistics" 2 Thank and 2 Groan blocks.
How do i delete them? I dont know in which file i cant find that so i can change it so i only got one.
