However, a few questions:

1) When do you recommend recounting the Achievements? How do you know when you should recount them?

In normal case - never. This is just required if you changed something, for example added a new achievement.

With this setting you can define multiple awards like first, second and third place

btw, thanks for the terrific support. Like others have said...it's probably the best supported mod here.

How many awards did you enabled for one user? Depending on that setting it can be that a user gets another award.

vBExperience is only recounting via cronjob.

It seems your server or just the SQL server is not able to handle it. I got this "server gone" error whenever MySQL reached the limit for open connections. Did you tried already to use persistent connections? ("usepconnect" in config.php)
