    Hi,
    Was just wondering is it possible (for regular users) to order a list of posts in a thread by amount of thanks - it would be a good way to get the best posts in a thread - such as that "anything nervy or creepy happen to you" in AH.

    SQL wise I'd imagine it's a very simple query, however stress wise on the boards dbs I can imagine it's something restricted to mods.

    If so could one request a query ?

    Actually that's another idea, a Petition Query system on boards ... hmmmm...

    There's actually a way to sort all the posts if you search the thread between 2 dates and select sort by most thanks in the top right. You have to click on the posts to read any longer ones.

    Not ideal or pretty but it will put the posts in order of thanks.

    Hey hulla, thanks for that.

    I tried that myself, and all I got was the usual red X with no hits. Then I remembered I was using the old unsupported White skin, which it definitely doesn't work with.

    @the_monkey: I've deleted my reply above as it's out and out wrong. Follow hullaballoo's directions and it should work without problem.

    -Shield.
