1. The PM message title says: "Congratulation! You have got a new award!"

I like it to say "Congratulations" and modify the message somewhat. How would I go about doing this?

2. There appears to be 1 medal available. How do I get more medals and how do I upload them into the system?

3. Request medal does not seem to be activated. No permission message seen when clicking on request. How do you activate?

Thank you so very much!!!!!!!!

I am working out how to sort out #1 - I am guessing that its a phrase somewhere, but when I suss it I will let you know

#2 - In your ACP, check under Award System. There will be an option called Add New Award. Fill in the fields there for an award you have designed (using a graphics program) and uploaded somewhere on the net. Put a name and description in them boxes, the link to a pic you want to use as an icon (the one that will show on the postbit) in its box and the link to a bigger pic you want to use as the main award image in that box. Choose a category (if you want) and where you want it to be on the Awards page (display order) and click the save button. You have to design your own awards, but I remember seeing in the Graphics forum here that someone has released some for use

#3 - Have you allowed your usergroup to request awards? If not, head into the Usergroup Manager in your ACP and edit the usergroup you want to allow. At the bottom of the Usergroup options page there will be Awards Permissions- Can request awards. Choose Yes and save. That should do that

EDIT: Worked out #1 - I was right, it is a phrase. Head into Languages & Phrases -> Search in Phrases in the ACP. Search for award_pm in "Phrase Variable Name Only". You will probably see three sets of results - "vBulletin Settings Phrases Containing 'award_pm'", "Email Subject Text Phrases Containing 'award_pm'" and "Email Body Text Phrases Containing 'award_pm'". Of them, look at the middle two - they are what you want (award_pm). Click Edit on it and put what you want the title to be in the "translation" box. Click save and it will be done
