hmmm....was hoping for some feedback on my issue noted above by now...does anyone have any idea why that is happening?

If I refresh the page, they reappear in the original window, but nothing is happening? If I click the Thank You button in that same window, everything works as expected. I tried reverting my postbit template, but that didn't help either.
Any advice?
Thanks,
KF

Is no one monitoring/supporting this thread??? I need some help here...please if you can.
Thanks,
KF

Bumping the thread is no the good idead and doesn't mean that we will run here and help you...
Try to clean your browser's cache and be shure that your vBulletins templates are up to date.

What are you talking about? This is the Groan thread, I didn't bump it anywhere. I simply asked for help again, and had the courtesy to put my previous post to insure whomever finally did reply knew what I was talking about.

As far as your recomendations, thank you, but been there and done that. Tried on several different computers with clean browser histories. This is a fresh vBulletin install from around January 2, 2008. Templates are up to date...and the Thank You hack works fine. It is the Groan hack with which I am having problems...it is currently disabled due to the problems stated in my original post.

What you have set for option "Integrate this hack with Post Thanks Hack?"
Did you try to disable Thanks hack?
Did you try to reupload the files?

Reuploaded Post_Groan.php to the forum root directory...that seems to have fixed it. Who would have thought files would not upload correctly....weird.

Thanks,
