Thanks!

Do you want this award to be shown in postbit?
Can you add this option in award options?

If you don't want it displayed, make the award Inactive.

When I can get around to finishing up the automation system. I've been busy this past week and haven't had time to do much of anything with it.

I want it to be displayed in user profile but I don't want it to be shown in postbit. "I want this option to be available for every award"

thank you, my mods are screaming for it.

I am just about to upgrade my forums form 3.8.4PL2 to v4.0.1 I am running YAAS 3.8.

I have downloaded the latest version.

I am unable to find a recomended install/upgrade process.

I am hoping not to have to reissue the awards to my members; but have them migrate over with the upgrades.

As best I can glean, I disable YAAS 3.8, upgrade the forums to 4.0.1, & then install YAAS 4. Is this correct?

I've heard that there will be awards automatically issued to people based on criteria met, which is basically your site looking for specific integers, like post count.

So, does will this mean we could possibly do our own criteria based awards that would automatically be issued based on an integer inside the a users profile or actions on other various mods?

Specifically speaking, I'm thinking of the arcade mod. Whereas if a user were to gain a high score, which would be an integer entered into the database that the award program could point to, that user would automatically get an award?
Something like this would unlock so many possibilities for this mod. It would be awesome if you might have something like this planned. Please LMK.
Thank you!

When I click on the awards tag I get a very long page of this:

Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: awards_awardusers_bit in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 3893

This is on an 3.8.4.2 upgraded to 4.0.1 forum. With YAAS 3.8 disabled then upgraded to download of YAAS today. PHP 5.2.10 MySQL 5.1.37

Everything else YAAS wise works fine.
