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.

With the v5x I was getting server loads of 15.00-20.00. With this new update I run my usual 1.00-0.50, almost like it's not even there.

Thanks again Abe for working with me on this and I hope my situation was able to help you out with this.

Should I go ahead and install this RC version over my pre-release test version or wait for a final v6? I really don't need the new features.

You can wait then.

Thanks for the update Abe.

After upgrading this I now do not see the names of the people who thanked a post and when clicking REMOVE all it doesnt do a thing.
with the new template edits are we supposed to REPLACE whats already in the templates from the previous version or are we to add all the new edits with the old ones?

I wouldn't have time to do a total update. If you had it installed, I can try to figure out the problem.
