    Is it possible to do a search for the most thanked posts in a thread or forum? Trying to find some useful posts in a particularly large thread regarding Chicken Wings.

    Edit: I just see there is now, yes. Feck. Check first, then ask.

    Where exactly are you seeing this? There's no option in the search subsystem for thanks that I can see (since thanks is a plugin and doesn't really play with search).

    Are you sure you are finding Thanks and not number of posts?

    Example is spammer thread:

    Just search for my posts on the thread. If that doesn't work search for Thaedydal's. Still no results? Nobody got thanked.

    In the Search part at the bar on the top it says find all thanked posts. Don't think it can be narrowed down to a particular thread though.

    That just returns the 500 most recently thanked posts. Not really that useful.

    No, it isn't. So I guess this leaves it back to square one.
    Is it possible to do that or is it a pain in the jacksie?

    Writing the query to do that is easy.

    On the other hand, wrapping it up in some UI to present it to ye will take time and to be honest I can't see myself having time to do it any time in the near future, sorry.
