I also updated my ranks mod last night w/ this info and it should hold true for the Awards mod since they are virtually identical (say to yourself ohh ok everywhere I see Rank or Ranks I replace w/ Award or Awards respectively )

Basically here's the short on this:

• Edit your usergroups, for each usergroup set whether they can request and recommend ranks.
• Setup the mod options in AdminCP > Ranks System > Rank System Settings.
• If your having the requests or recommendations posted as a New Thread OR New Post within a existing thread please ensure that the members usergroup has permission to do so, in other words they can't post a new rank request into a private admin-only forum or a new post in a admin only thread correct? Bingo . You can create a new forum and only allow viewing to normal members .
• If your having users requesting ranks every min or two, adjust your minimum time between posts to be one minute.
• Try disabling the Points System, do you still have a issue?

Other issues:

• What is the minimum version of MySQL Required?
  - The core of the ranks sytem will function on MySQL 4.1. However, in order to use the Points System you must be running at least MySQL 5.0+
• I'm seeing output like "-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: ranks_rankusers_bit -->" before it displays members. Why?
  In your AdminCP > Settings > Options > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments = OFF
• Styling issues? - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....58&postcount=2
