I love this mod and have been using it for several years now! After the last vb upgrade, I notice and error flash when I issue and award- it only shows for a second but it is a warning and has to do with mySQL-tried to get a screenshot but it happens too fast. Everything seems to be in working order- but thought I would let you know just in case.

Without the error message it's hard to diagnose what's going on. Check your server logs as the error should also be located there.

Does anyone know of an easy way to exclude certain categories from appearing on the page which lists the awards?

Me dont know.
You can hide specific awards but not categories.
May sound stupid, but why hide categories?

Currently there is not way of doing so.

There are some awards, such as awards given for x amount of time, that don't need an explanation or need to appear on the page. I'd rather not clutter it up.

Anyone know of a way to disable the admins/mods approval? I'd like the award to go straight through and be given to the user...

There is no way to do so short of making changes to the code nor do I have no plans to add such a feature. If you were to make changes to do that I'd look at creating a custom cron job.

A bit of an early Christmas gift for everyone.
