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.

Hi What should i do ? I can't log into my admin cp nor fix this error when i tried to install this hack, and i recived this error
This hack has too many bugs " a hack like that to cause a forum to crash " I think it should be Dropped
Many ppl experienced that fatal error and no one wrote warning on the first post of this hack, I think there should be warning on the first page so some ppl don't have to lose their sites and back up the forum that is if they luckly did it before installing that hack
Fatabase error in vBulletin 3.6.7:
Invalid SQL:
SELECT thanks.*, post.userid as postuserid, user.username
FROM thanks as thanks
LEFT JOIN post as post ON (post.postid = thanks.postid)
LEFT JOIN user as user ON (user.userid = thanks.userid)
ORDER BY thanks.dateline DESC;

It seems like you edited something yourself. I do not have a table called 'thanks'. It is called 'post_thanks'. How can this query call post thanks?
Anyways, this did NOT crash your forum. All you have to do is to disable plug-ins. You can do that via the config file I believe.
I installed it and everything works except it does not show the thanks button for all the forums, just a few of them. I have all the forum ID's filled in to allow it, but they do not show the thanks button. Is there a different code that I need for that?
I dont know why. I would have to look at your forum.
This has probably already been discussed, but I really wasn't up for looking though 97 pages to see.I have the problem of having a half dozen buttons and like the poster above this...
