squidsk,
Had a feeling that is what you were going to say. But had to ask anyway.
Thanks.

The latest version.

Question,

Do you have any plans to port this to vB5? We really like the features of vB5, but extensively use this plugin. It's one of the key things preventing us from upgrading.

Yes I do, but to be honest it isn't a high priority at the moment. I have a bunch of features and improvements I want to add to the vb4 version before considering porting it vb5.

No problem. Just wanted to know if there were plans. Thanks again for continuing to work on this. We at 21CW love it.

hi, in the postbit the user without a signature not see awards, how to fix this?
Thanks

[invitezone]

Hi,
is it possible to have a certain award that when awarded to a user, it also adds 1 to their rep?
I know to do this it will obviously require me to change some code and that this mod doesn't do it as a standard feature. Could anyone give me some pointers on how I could achieve this.

Thanks very much.

Updated to 4.0.6 and its looking really good mate. Thanks for the update and your effort

Thanks, this is what I did and it also opened up a new level of modifying my forums to me, which is why it's taken me so long to reply =). Thanks for this add-on, it works very well! Looking forwards to seeing what other gadgets you have in store!
