Entirely un-tested but:
Edit template dbtech_thanks_postbit_entries

Under the line:

<vb:if condition="$show['dbtech_thanks_area']">

Add the following:

<div id="dbtech_thanks_block_{vb:raw post.postid}" <vb:if  condition="$entries==false">style="display:none;"</if>>

Now go to the bottom, and ABOVE the line:

</vb:if>

Add the following:

</div>

Now to edit the javascript - open the file dbtech/thanks/clientscript/thanks.js

ABOVE the line:

YAHOO.util.Dom.get('dbtech_thanks_entries_' +  this.postid).innerHTML = (entries[0].firstChild ?  entries[0].firstChild.nodeValue : '');

Add the following:

YAHOO.util.Dom.get('dbtech_thanks_block_' + this.postid).style.display = "block";

See if that works for you

I think the JS instructions are a bit out of date since I believe I switched to jQuery, but if you're still running an older version it should work.

We'll look into adding it as standard in a future version

yeah i'm running the 2.02 version I can't find the .js entry you suggested.

In that case it doesn't work anymore, I'll change this to a feature request
