About this hack:
This hack was requested by users who like my "Post Thank You Hack". Both can run together on the same forum.

This hack adds a "groan" button to all posts. Any user can "groan" at a post. This will reduce the amount of "junk" posts your forum gets.

• Uses only ONE query every time you view a showthread page!
• Users can't groan twice
• Guests don't see 'groan' button
• Counts how many groans a user gives
• Counts how many groans a post gets
• Shows how many groans a user gave in every post of his
• Shows how many groans a user gave in profile

Does not longer work with 3.7.1!

[redlabour]

Works again with Post Thank You Hack 7.6 and vBulletin 3.7.1.

But Abe1 - please update this.

[GPTB]

Agreed - an update would be great for this

[GPTB]

This doesn't work properly with the latest Post Thank You hack and vB 3.7.1.

A number of my members have reported the following error in my header:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in
[path]/includes/functions_post_groan.php on line 183

And in the body:

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.

This is exactly my problem, in exactly the same circumstances. I (being in a usergroup which can't be groaned at) groaned at one post and this error started to occur to members.

Running vB 3.7.1 + Post Thank You Hack 7.6.
