I'm guessing the
http://forumurl.net/thumbs_center.php is not added automatically onto the navbar ?

Also maybe another bug

Unknown Location
/thumbs_center.php?do=received

on Who's Online view

something maybe to consider the


Thumbs Up Received x
Thumbs Down Received x
Thumbs Up Given x
Thumbs Down Given x

being in the postbit where
Join Date ,Location is etc

However a very useful and enjoyable mod

Installed and imported previous 'thanks' for Post Hack Hack effortlessly.

This looks very promising - some stats for the postbit would be a welcome addition in the future as would integration into the Activity Stream and/or a forum sideblock for latest thumbs up/down.

I'm quite confused.
I can't find the "My Thumbs Center" in the User CP although it's enabled in the ACP settings.
Where can I find it? It is there If I enter /thumbs_center.php in the browser. But how can i
retrieve it in vbulletin?
I guess there should be a link in the navbar, but I don't have one...

Edit: If I click on the Thumbs-Box I got directed to the CMS Main Page of my vBulletin

Do you pick up any report to thumbs down votes (for example to Thumbs Up? Center or to the box), when they are disabled?
The only one I have in mind is that the down votes displayed on the "latest" page of Thumbs Up? Center, if you disable them "later" and the members has catch some "down" votes.

Sorry, I did not realize there were settings for Thumbs Up? Center:..... which may have confused the issue. What I was trying to say and most likely still trying to say...

I wish to only use the Thumbs up.

Enable "Thumbs Down"?
Do you want thumbs down system enabled?

when it's set to No
I was hoping not to see the faded thumbs down.

The centering I was talking about refers to the result of the images after removing the thumbs down rather than having a big space between the count and the thumbs up.

0 :down::up:

if this happens.

On your own Screenshot you can see:

the font size of "Recent Thumbs received" is not the same as of "Recent Thumbs sent".
I think this is a bug?

If you're using vB4.2.X+ the Thumbs Up? Center link is on the "What's new" tab:

If you're using vB4.0.X-4.1.X should add the link manually. Also a link to the Thumbs Up? Center is on the notifications box when user has new thumbs.

I'm not sure I understand, but how about the unset of "thumbs up" votes? You propose to disappear altogether the thumb down (red) button if thumbs down are disabled? Or just to appear only one box (red or green accordingly)?

[Mr_Running]

Yes,
Ability to turn off "thumbs down" votes = disappear the thumb down (red) when thumbs down is disabled.

Yes, appear only one box.

aah okay found it. I didn't expect that it is on the "What's new"

My translation is nearly done, think I will upload it tomorrow

While it looks great, I was hoping that the Background color can be set per style. Further more, I'm sad to see that each page refresh takes up extra seconds to load the thumbs up / down boxes on each and every single post.

When you load a thread you've never seen before, the thumbs up and down loads instantly. But after you reload the thread, it takes longer to load them every time.

Another suggestion. When you thumb someone up, the thumb up icon will be gray and the red one will stick being red. I suggest making the red gray and the green green.. Reason is that is looks like you've thumbed down the post rather than up.

And is there anyway I can add this within the title icon bar? in postbit_legacy? I try to, but it breaks the title icon page.

Other than that. Awesome plugin!
