Installed!

I have been playing around with it and so far, its great!

One Suggestion -

When making a new award, we should have the option of giving that award to a specific group also.

Like group 6 (admins) will get a special award for being an admin. :)

Thanks for the great add on!

May I request that exclusion of usergroups from awards needs to be set per award. Otherwise you cant give awards to board staff for helpfulness, if they are excluded from awards ... It would give a lot more flexibility too ... like allowing new members to be given encouragement awards until they progress to the next promotion.

LOL. Looks like I missed the last post before mine :p We agree!

BUG:

I made an award for all admins (had to manually add them to the award) but for some reason it will not show the award for me. User account 1.

If i go back to the award edit screen, and i click save, it will show the award for a few minutes then it will go away.

I tested this on FF to make sure it wasnt a browser problem.

Any Suggestions?

May somebody tell me if this mod have any effect on performance or not? I am on a shared server with about 10000-30000 members, 300-1000 members online at the same time. I dont want to overload the shared server by increase unnecessary mods.

I installed this last night and Im a little lost as to the activity calculation even on reading the original post.. Please could you let me know if this is a big or whether I have calculated it incorrectly..

My top ten posters in the last 30 days are:

User Posts
Sarah 814
laura_3173 530
siberian_wolf 474
r1ch4rd 347
Dunc 312
stokie 206
lesley 164
Marc 144
bingnblaze 136
Alex T 135

This gives me an average of 326 ..... So surely Sarah (at the top of the list with 814) should have 100% however she doesn't, she has 99% .... Am I missing something?

I noticed very little change. Im on shared hosting also so i have to be careful also. You should be safe with this mod. It doesnt run constantly so your server load is minimal.

Mine said 0% the first day. Now, it is working. It must have something to do with it populating the info but dont ask me how. All i know is its working now. :)

I have to say,

...the stupidist un-install method ever.

These guys program for months to produce modifications for our forums free of charge working for nothing. I'm sure it doesnt take you months to uninstall. Its not stupid, its just different that your personal preference

For admins you can set manually a specific award.

Yes, awards bound to promotions would be a great addition. I will think about it for the next bigger version.

Did you generated awards after saving them?

Cannot confirm this. Where exactly does this happen?

Depends on your hardware. There are board with for example 320000 users running this mod without side effects. Read the file "readme_optimization.txt"

Who has the 100%?

You mean with the kill file? You know what is stupid? Losing all awards, statistics, shop items and categories only because of a reinstall. I could move all uninstalls into the product xml, but the user would lost everything doing an upgrade. THAT would be stupid.

vBExperience is not a little addition, it is a major addition that needs some time to set and to tweak.

Thanks for your support.
