I believe I suggested this idea one Page 3??? I would like to see this too.

Personally, I would like it for awards such as "Get X Posts in the ____ Forum" to help promote activity in different places for members.

Just doing some final bug testing, hack should be updated within the hour.

Nice job, looking forward to the updates.

Any idea on when the update would come that would be dealing with points per award, and maybe other things?
