I do.

I'm getting close to releasing a new version. ANY bug reports need to get sent to yaas-bugs@kd0igo.com

Please make sure you specify what version of the mod you have, (VB3 or VB4). All emails get added to Redmine for easier bug tracking. Redmine is MUCH easier than trying to read though 60+ pages.

Thank you for your reply, I have emailed you a couple of days ago. But as it is more of a case of lack of information and needed assistance then bugs I'm not sure that the mail is a bug report.

But I wonder does that mean I will get a reply and the help I need through email or will you post it here or will you only make a note about it in you bug log?

Getting a database error

Resolved the error by make the tables my self but it seems the installer isnt willing to create the tables on a 4.1.10 install (clean)

i now have this issue:

 is Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in C:\xampp\htdocs\vbulletin\awards.php on line 47

(but that is a php issue since i use a higher version on my local host)

[squidsk]

To resolve the deprecation error go to line 47 in awards.php and delete the & from before the equals sign.

CypherSTL, what an absolute star you are - this mod could have so much potential but has been lying at the side of the road for quite some time now.

What we're looking for is an awards system where you can add and remove customised awards and they'll appear below a users signature which we could limit to a set amount and the user could prioritise their awards through their profile. Will the new mod you're releasing have this capability or are you keeping it under your hat until release?

Thanks in advance.

I still haven't seen anywhere an explanation on how to use the auto reward feature. Does anyone know how to use it?

Already does this.

Already does this.

Global ordering is what is used now, user specific ordering is not possible.

Wondering if I can see some support for this mod. I've used this mod since vb3 and it's one of the best things I've ever added to my forums.

Here's my problem. In my users profiles the My Awards tab is not showing up. It's there and clickable but it's invisiable. If you need an example of what I'm talking about go here:

http://www.suicide-kings.net/forums/member.php?1-Cledus

Right next to the My Ranks tab you can see the area for the awards tab is clickable but not visiable.

Also, is there any way to rename that tab to something else besides My Awards?

Any help to fix the problem would be greatly appreciated.
