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 granted liking by ALL the members of your forum.

It can't be the hack as it works flawlessly on my site. I've tested with both PC and MAC, all sorts of browsers and I have 2200 users who love this hack.
I did have a guy on my site say the Thanks button went away for him, he turned off his ZoneAlarm Pro and everything came back.
those users sure would like a groan button though..
HAH! I found the answer for sometimes the button not appearing! (at least for Zone alarm users)
Here is what you do if you want to fix it:
Open up your Zone Alarm control panel
Under the PRIVACY tab you have to disable the following
Cookie control > OFF
AD Blocking > OFF
Mobile Control Code > OFF

Does this have to do with the button leading to a pop-up?
This is a great mod and thanks for releasing it. I do have a question though what happans if there is around 20 to 30 thanks per thread ? How is it formatted ?

Each post gets it's own box. In each box shows all users who gave thanks. The box only shows once a user has thanked a post.
