Well, I dont like the way of showing awards that the current vB hackdoes either. I guess I will make it more like the other one, but mytesting steps might include the old fashion too

The way the existing vb hack works would mean and insanelylong list of names and medals, that would go on for ever, whereas thePhPbb version does a far better job of displaying theinformation.

Just because that hack manage awards different. my award database is more or less the same as the phpBB one,

Obviously what is of interest to many of us is that the hack be easy toinstall/uninstall or be version non-dependent (next to impossible) soit does need to have an uninstall option,

Will make install/uninstall script after when I finish all otherthings. There is NO way avoid editing files. The install/uninstallscript will only make changes in the database. If you really want tohave the files changed automatically, contact me, and I will show youhow to do it (after when I release). I myself actually have almost allmy hack implemented "automatic".

but also that there is a cohesive format for displaying medals / awards.

I will go in the way that phpBB display for the hack. As I stated inthe first post, there're two things (from phpBB) that I will hold offare award category (which, I think, will soon be implemented), andaward moderator (which I dont think important in vB)
I myself really want it to be release, in some use-able form first, andget feed back for more advance development. You wont be able to makedetail suggestion until when you see it, you know.

I am also aware of others who would make contributions to the hack andstill obviously allow it for free use to others if we can be sure it'sgoing to tick all the boxes.
What do you think?

it depends on if all the boxes are good. if it's good. I surely will implement.

Thanks for all of your supports.
