Paid Membership and Post thanks

[daBIGKAHUNA]

I have a couple of things I would like to do with my site and could use some help with at maybe someone coud link me to a thread that can help.

First - I have a lot of commercial sellers that want to post there gear for sale on my site. I was hesitant to do this but have decided that I will create a forum where commercial sellers can post there gear but in order to do so they will have to pay a membership fee.

I need to find a to set up the paid subscription for only one forum on my site. In addition to this I need to set it up so that only paid members can start threads but all members can post within threads - any help getting this done would be greatly appreciated.

Second - can someone link me up with the post thanks hack and the post like or dislike hack?

Thanks to any and all that are able to help!
