The groans arent displaying under the posts. It records them in the postbit fine....also the text in the admin cp for this isnt there. It works if i click on it though.

Yes, i already re-imported the product.

Sounds interesting. I might give it a whirl.

If you are using postbit_legacy, then the template was not going. I updated the zip file with a fix.

how does this reduce the amount of "junk" posts your forum gets? to me it seems like they get a lot more junk with a bunck of goans after a bad post.

If I knew that users can groan at me, I'm not sure I would make a stupid post.

Matter of opinion.
