Post Thank You Hack 4.5




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.

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

Hi I am using this hack and it is one of the best .-)

However I have some problem with GARS and Post Thank you. If the article has too many replies I am getting this error:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/class_postbit.php(251) : eval()'d code on line 136

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/class_postbit.php(251) : eval()'d code on line 146

Can anybody suggest what is wrong here? I have asked at TheVbGeek but Geek is saying that his code is not that long and that there might be conflict with other hack. I persume that conflict is with PostThankYou hack.

Thank you!
