About this hack:
This hack allows users to thank someone for a post without making a big mess on your forum. I'm sure most of you HATE when people just make a post that says 'thank you'. Also, for those people who don't like making the 2 word post, this gives them a chance to say thanks. It's also good for users of your forum who post something helpful and want to see if people really used their information.
There is a similar hack called 'Automatic Thank You Hack'. That hack only lets you thank the first post of a thread not just any post. It's also unsupportive and was release for an older version of vbulletin.

Places an easy to use button next to the edit button
Separate looks for postbit and postbit_legacy
Places all Thank Yous into one small box
Users can't thank twice
