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.

Please post your comments or suggestions for this hack. I read ALL posts.
MAKE SURE YOU CLICK INSTALL! You will get an email when a new version is released.
Pictures:
Showing the 'thanks' button and stats in Postbit
Showing post after 'thanks' (user view)
Showing post after 'thanks' with legacy posts (admin view)
I'd like to ask that when an admin uses the "Remove All" function, although it removes all the thanks given to that particular member in a post, but does it also reduce the bonuses (such as post count, reputation, etc) given as well?

If you are using a custom template, different from the default vbulletin one, you will need to manually edit the template using the text instructions given in the download. You also need to make sure you have the correct directory for the thank button image.
Hi, Thanks for your advice, worked a treat putting the code below instead of above. My only other problem is with:
By doing this it ends up looking massive as shown in the attatchement. Ive tried moving the code around but without any luck. Heres a section of my code before and after:
Ive removed it for the moment until hopefully im able to get this bit sorted. So close to getting it working!
From having a look and a read around im guessing the layout in the attatchement is standard. I managed to alter the text to reduce the size of the box, however it still seems to large.
Is it possible to have "The Following Users say thank you to XXX for this useful post" running along the top, rather then down the side?
IE - There will be no line seperating the two sections of the box? That way it will make the box a lot smaller and less intrusive.
Ive searched around, but not sure what I would need to edit. If anyone can help I would be really really appreciatve as I cant wait to go live with this mod.
Thankyou works great (I still have two thanks buttons for some bizarre reason but will work that out at some point I'm sure - thanks for the hint inciaro )
I have this hack installed together with the 'link hiding hack' and it's working 100% but there is just one small add-on function i want this hack to do.
I want it to bump the thread when someone press thank you
How would i be able to do so ?
No way.
