To test it i have set the option "Individual Forums On Which This Mod Must Be Enabled" in a private forum with many post from different users.
Could any one help me?

Most likely this is a settings configuration problem. Assuming that you have forumids & usergroup permissions set correctly, there are still 3 settings that can prevent the nominate post icon from showing. These are "Disable Nominating Topics Older Than X Days", "Disable Nominating Topics Not Made During Preceeding Month", and "Allow user to nominate their own post?" (which defaults to 'No'). So if you are testing and have not changed the defaults, then you won't see the nominate post button if you are viewing your own posts. But you should see the button if you are viewing others' posts. If you enabled time limits for the other 2 settings, then posts older than whatever time you set will not have the button.

Someone posted a while ago that the solution was to remove the "display:" keyword in the style attribute of the link in the nominate_topic_button template. I'm sure this is not the right solution since it will disable those 3 settings above and always display the nominate post button.

It's a great idea, but this mod is a long, long, long way from being finished. It doesn't really work, and the number of issues is increasing all the time.
I hope it gets finished at some point; but I can't use it in the state it's in.

Users who are automatically logged off have their cookies disabled. The solution is to add $session[sessionurl] to the links, which Data did in the nominate_topic_button template for the button. Either you are talking about another link or button, or another mod is causing the automatic log-off.

1) PM's advising about awards still being titled:
"Could not find phrase 'This is an automatic message to inform you that your post on [post={1}]{2}[/post] is amongst the winners of this cycle time topic nomination contest.'."
This makes the forum look unprofessional

2) The Hall of Fame still does not make sense. To me is should show which topics / forum members have won awards in each month which it doesn't. The HOF is still formatted wrongly (see bottom right image in the attachment)

3) This morning it decided to close the nominations for the previous month and yet created a new topic for the next month with the same heading.

It is frustrating as it is so close to being a damned good mod (one of the best I've installed) but without these glitches being fixed........
Anyway attachments illustrating the problem are attached.

In regards to #1 & #3, see my bug fixes that I will post next.
For #2, as with any Hall of Fame in real life, it shows things that are most distinguished/ most awarded, which it does correctly.

Data never claimed that it was an Awards History page to show topics and members winners chronologically by month. If you ask nicely, maybe he'll consider implementing your suggestion Note that as stated in the Hall of Fame titles, it shows members & topics with the most awards, not the most nominations.

Minor Bug: In the Members with Most Awards block, there is a bug in the phrase "nominated 'x' times in 'y' posts". I tested it with 3 nominations in 3 posts, but it showed "nominated 3 times in 1 posts".
