Here is something I would LOVE to integrate... Image is supplied below..

I have two categories, Awards and Achivements, both contain different medals. When they show up in posbit_legacy in the posts in threads, they all show up together, both categories, I would like them to show up like this EXACTLY...

This image is from www.edgegamers.org



I don't know how they did it , but if this is already possible, please let me know how. Otherwise, please implement this in the Admin CP.

Much thanks.

From the looks it is two different aspects, 1 utilizing the awards system and the other being a link to the awards they are giving in a different manner, it does not look like the two are part of the same hack, this is also apparent since you can hover over the images in each and pull up a drop viewer.

[Drocr]

What part of the code do I have to delete to completely remove the "Icon" section. Since my Icon and Image are the same its redundant.

Any suggestions?

[Bouncer222]

ok so what hack are they using or how are they doing this? kinda new to vb so some help would be appreciated, thanks.

btw can u please implement all they got for their awards?
thanks.

@Drocr: Not sure at this time, when we start digging into the code we will take a look at this.

@Bouncer222: I am unsure of what they are using to accomplish it. It will be something we will look into duplicating.

Have now a copy of vB 4.0.0 Beta 3 suite version, will be installing on our test site so we can tear it apart and see what it all looks like for a coding stand point.

Could we fix 3.8 series first, please?
