I cant find anything about the "thanks"link in the admin interface, and clicking on thanks in a post gives "cant connect to server" error. Suggestions?

Clicking the 'Thanks' link uses AJAX to connect to the file ajax_post_thanks.asp.

Make sure that this file is uploaded to your forums root folder.

Is this file not included in the distribution?

Where do I find it?

Yes it is included with Web Wiz Forums, but as you are getting an error it could be that either the file has become corrupted when you uploaded the forum files, or you missed uploading the files.

The first thing you should do is try re-uploading this file again and see if it fixes the issue.

I installed the V10 upgrade for alabamatoy.

I found the problem... It was missing the table ThreadThanks

It was never created during the V9 --> V10 upgrade.

I inject the code into the ajax_post_thanks.asp file and ran it once and it created the table.

'Create the ThreadThanks Table

strSQL = "CREATE TABLE [" & strDBO & "].[" & strDbTable & "ThreadThanks] ("

strSQL = strSQL & "[Thread_ID] [int] NOT NULL DEFAULT (0),"

strSQL = strSQL & "[Author_ID] [int] NOT NULL DEFAULT (0) "

strSQL = strSQL & ")"

'Write to the database

adoCon.Execute(strSQL)

The thanks functionality appears to be working now.

Perhaps a table health check in the admin_server_test.asp might be useful as a future improvement.
