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.

Pictures:
Showing the 'thanks' button and stats in Postbit
Showing post after 'thanks' (user view)
Showing post after 'thanks' with legacy posts (admin view)
The arrow appears when you replied in the thread (ie. posted). I think it's usefull if the arrow button also appears when you thanked a post in a thread but didn't post a reply (thanked only). On my board the thanks kinda replaces the reply system as a meaning of showing appreciation.

I tried but can't. Unless there was a poll, then the thread was not getting marked read.

I have a vb3.0.7 forum where a custom thanks hack was made by a member. I do not know if he used your version as a basis. The thanks system is there since begin 2005. It does work well and has some extra features:
- show thanks on content posts only (ie. show thanks on image or attachment posts)
- has a thanks all buttons (thanks all posts in a thread)
- marks thread as 'replied' when a thanks is made
A copy of that forum is now migrated to vb367 with your thanks hack, hence my questions. If you are interested I can give you access to that forum.
