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.
[FIXED] Bug with AJAX if you had the date showing.

I have this hack already installed and it works perfect!
Thank you for sharing, I pressed "Installed"!
Yet another question: In the ACP-options I can select, if a user
get something added to his/her postcount, if he/she pressed Thanks!
Now would I need, that an additional ACP-option exists, to add to user's reputation if he pressed Thanks!
Is it heavy to implement? I want let you know, that I would pay for it,
if you would add such feature for me, cause I need it in a project urgently.

Thanks. Ran the first 3 recounters - made no difference. Running the last one and with 121,000 members, it's still going after about 10 hours.
2 questions. First, is this the recounter which will make the difference?
And second, is it possible to speed up the counter? Or do something else to fix this? Would hate to have to uninstall.

I think the first 3 should have done it. The user one would make that error. Did you run them on order? Does the error show an every page?

I ran them in order, the error does not show up on every page.
My server is rebooted daily in the early hours. The 4th recounter had been running for over 16 hours before it hung because of the reboot. And the problem persists. It's definitely the Thank You hack cos when I disable it the problem goes away.
Update : I re-ran the first three and again it made no difference.
I have switched off the thank you hack for now.
One example of where we are having problems is on the last page of this thread.
