  • Thanks Hack

    On PreCentral.net's forums, I've noticed a quite useful hack which allows users to thank other users for posts (or threads). It cuts down on useless responses while allowing users to show gratitude without wasting space and making threads unreadable. Here's a link to the hack on vbulletin.org: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=122944

    Would someone be so kind as to install it?

    Weird mod. Can't the same thing be achievable by using the thread rating system?

    Also, while poking around there it seems VBulletin 4.0 is finally out and stable. Want that installed?

      Hmm...if it can be done without destroying us all, yes

      As for the Thanks system, it's per post, and it amounts to a list of people that thanked the poster being displayed right after the post. Take a look at http://forums.precentral.net/canuck-...r-utility.html for an example.

        It can. One of the release candidates has already been installed on the testing sub domain, and surprisingly most stuff worked fine.. even the user permissions we base off of VB for the main site.

        Only problems were none of the 3.8.X modifications or styles worked with it, so you will have to get JNABK to update the skins he made.

          Something I think is worth mentioning things like a "thanks" feature. My observations are that either people don't care enough to use them, or do use it almost reflexively due to the common situation of poking "thanks" being somewhat required at some places with it.

            Ace: He'd probably be fine with that.

            LMZ: I've seen that as well, but I have seen places (PreCentral included) that have large user pools using it voluntarily.So, if no one uses it, we can always remove it later.

              OK, I finally got around to doing this stuff.

              LMZ and I upgraded the vBulletin to version 4.0. Also made some temporary logos for the themes.
              FYI, Search Engine Friendly URLs are disabled atm due to them (for some odd reason) not working correctly. If enabled in any form they will redirect to nothingness. I will try and fix this later.

              Added the following modifications:
              Members who have Visited
              Post Thank You Hack
              Separate Sticky and Normal Threads
              Who Has Read a Thread

              Added the DarkVision style.

                Fixed the "Search Engine Friendly" URL's feature.

                  I've now thanked you for adding the Thank You hack

                  Heh, even though I think only Mir and I have used it so far, I quite like having it around. Whenever an active topic of discussion comes about, I think it will be quite useful.
