Show Thread Enhancements - [AJAX] Post Groan Hack

Post Groan Hack 3.3

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.

Features:

• Uses vBulletin easy Product installer/updater/uninstaller
• Uses AJAX technology so your users don't have to refresh when they groan at a post.
• Places an easy to use button next to the edit button
• Separate looks for postbit and postbit_legacy
• Places all Groans into one small box
• 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
• Shows how many groans a user got
• Shows info in profile
• Search for a users groaned at posts
• Search for all groaned at posts
• Administrator can remove all Groans from a single post
• Users can remove their own Groans (Option to turn it off)
• Turn on and off hack totally
• Turn on and off hack for only some forums
• Option to turn off hack view of date all forums

After Years using both (Thanks and Groan) i have now uninstalled both of them.

In fact for me and a lot of other Admins it makes no sence to use the Post Thanks Hack without the Groan Hack and Groan was not updated for a long Time now.

I have send some PMs about this to Abe1 and everytime i get the same Answer that he will updated the Groan Hack soon. But nothing happens .....

How about a Post Giggle Hack?
"The following users laughed out loud at this post"

[Blumy]

Is there any way I can edit the postbit so it doesn't say groans and instead says something else?
