The bug with some boards having a Forum ID of "0" for the Award Request Forum ID, I do believe I have figured out why.
You have to have either one of the following filled out for users to request awards
- Award Request Forum ID
- Award Request Thread ID
- Award Request PM Address
- Award Request Email Address
If all of those are left blank, the end-users will not be able to request awards as the script will error out. Possibly I could rework the request system; but for now this is the current way the original author coded it.
