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 post after 'thanks' (user view)
Showing post after 'thanks' with legacy posts (admin view)
1. Can I make the thanks only on first post to be the opposite, e.g. the first post cannot be thanked but the rest can.
2. Can you put a thankyou count somewhere in the post template so I can see how many thanks are made per post? (rather than use the additional box that appears after the post itself).
hmm.. installed as mentioned here. No failure messages, Forum works finde, BUT NO THANKS button, no nothing.... any idea, what I did wrong? My vB Version: 3.6.4 - installed hack version here: post_thanks_6_3_vb3_6_0-3_6_5.zip
checked again all instructions. All done, at ACP I can see ist as well, its activated, but: no button or anything in any thread. Could somebody pls. tel me if I maybe used the wrong hack? (see post above), as it is really confusing with this 4 downloads above to find the right one...
There is a little bug on last release.
When you use AJAX to edit a post, when edition is complete, all Thanks dissapears. Just reload the page and appears again.
Any idea about this?
Regards!
Something to do with vb's AJAX.

No option now. Dont think i would add it. You should be able to make an easy add-on using the hooks in the hack.

You should be able to use the variable: $post[post_thanks_amount_formatted]
