We are facing a few issues with the Advanced Thanks/Like mod.
Users can click on more than one button inspite of assigning exclusivity such that no user can click on more than one button on any post on our forum.
Its been setup such that at any point a user can click only one button, but few people have found a work around it. Here are a few ways to do it:
1. Click 2 buttons as quickly as possible. A vote gets counted on both like and thanks.
2. Click 1 button on a post, click Back on your browser, click another button and both like and thanks show up again.
3. Open the same post in two different tabs. In tab 1 click like and in tab 2 click thanks.
Ideally what should happen is when a user tries to click a 2nd button in any of the above 3 methods, it should display an error message instead of casting multiple votes on different buttons.
Here is an example of a post with both like and thanks from the same user, though the settings shouldn't allow a user to click more than one button at any point of time.

See how the user Wildweasel has thanked and liked the same post.
A sincere request to look into this issue asap. We use the points allotted to the like and thanks button to determine our usergroup promotions and reputation. A bug like this could lead to the reputation system being severely mis-used.
Thanks in advance.
