- Places an easy to use button next to the edit button
- Separate looks for postbit and postbit_legacy
- Places all Thanks into one small box
- Uses only ONE query every time you view a showthread page!
- Users can’t thank twice
- Option to not allow users to thank their own post
- Guests don’t see ‘thanks’ button
- Counts how many thanks a user gives

I have highlighted, in red, the options I think should be disabled, to ward of any sort of “competition” or “begging for thanks”.
