Payment of the costs of any action in any court in this state including, but not limited to, the payment of court reporter fees, shall not be considered an acquiescence in the judgment or any order of the court so as to prevent an appeal by the person or persons paying such costs. This act shall not apply to any pending question arising out of such payment heretofore made, but otherwise this act shall apply to all actions heretofore or hereafter filed.
