Post Thank You Hack 7.4

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.

Features:

• Uses vBulletin easy Product installer/updater/uninstaller
• Uses AJAX technology so your users don't have to refresh when they thank.

Upload is done via FTP.

if it says "After" why are you asking me if you should replace???

I would say replace if I wanted you to replace.

Are you checking other users posts? or just your own?

I updated post thank you on my forums today (had a previous version). Initally when uploading the plugin, it just kept loading and loading. I stopped it because I had no choice and it wiped out all of my thanks records.

I then found the suggestion of uploading the product.xml and it installed from there. My thanks records still gone but that's life.

The problem that I am having is that my "quote" feature is outta whack now. Either I did something when doing template edits or the mod may be affecting it, my quotes within post look like the attached graphic (look at the yellow highlighted portion): see where the quote runs off the post text area?

I reverted my postbit and legacy post bit and did the template edits again yet I am still having this problem.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled but have the same problem.

The only other mod I installed today was the limited view (goes with the welcome header mod that I have had all along with this Post Thank You hack).

This issue is driving me nuts. Anyone have any idea what is causing this quote text issue?

Thanks in advance.

Check the template edits.

I've installed this hack and works just fine, but I'd like to ask you guys if you know any hack who does exactly the opposite job. Let's say a "Post No Good Hack" :down:. I really need something like that...
Thanks
