Additional permissions: Un-click a button. Control how many stats show on the statistics page, set permissions per subforum.

Buttons in First Post Only: This allows you to only make the first post thankable. If you forum is based around news, releases or anything similar this will allow your users to easily see the quality of the thread in question.

Post Colour Thresholds: Ever wanted an easy way for members to tell if a post is helpful or trash?

We currently have no plans to backport the looks due to the fact that the Thanks Bar is deeply integrated into the functionality of the old version, but that's not to say plans won't change

Nice! Only thing I would mention is that there's now two links that users can use for liking a post.

See your screenshot :P

Much nicer then an easy to abuse reputation system.

But, I notice that regardless of what buttons are active, all the stats are still shown under the usernames in posts.
I only want to use the Like button on my forum so disabled the Dislike and Thanks buttons, but it still shows their stats.
