You can see (example 1) shows how it looks currently after I changed the setting on the admin panel. You can see this looks awful. Since the style has a fixed width the awards shrink the visible window space of the post.

(Example 2) is how I would like it to look.

I have three categories for awards. Military, Site and Game. I have the display order set as follows; (military 1), (site 2), (game 3). I would like to see the awards set up similar in order of precedence.

As you can see in (example 1) there is a definite space between the ribbons. How do I go about taking that space out. I am trying to go for the look as a military rack similar to this

Is there any way to tie multiple of the same medals into a cluster similar to the posted image?


Thank you for any help you are able to lend.

You would need two separate outputs, 1 for the top row, then another for the remainder, not something very easy to do if it can even be done, so far all my attempts to do it have failed.

Also something you have to consider, doing so where you would show that many ribbons in the postbit makes for a very long postbit, 3-4 post would be equivalent to 10+ post as for scrolling down the page. You would be better off making custom code for your site to have it shown that way in there profile instead of the postbit, and we will not do custom code on a per site bases unless you would be willing to pay us.

I've read through all the posts, and noticed a couple of references to db queries. Is this mod considered server intensive or resource hungry? I plugged it into my test site and never noticed anything out of this world. I do have "display awards in postbit" turned off.
Anybody have any experience with this?

Hi, any plans for a vb 4 version?

[Bouncer222]

Any vb 4 version coming out soon please? Otherwise I cannot upgrade

No, this is not server intensive at all, you will not even know it is there.

Hi, any plans for a hooked on phonics? (in other words, learn to read cause this has already been answered).

As above.

Not to sound rude, but it's not hard to go back a couple of pages and look instead of just coming in and posting questions that have already been answered with no intentions of reading.

Agreed....much needed! Can't wait.

I have YAAS installed on a test board and I am working on proper compatibility for vB4.

Not sure on the time frame, but I am hoping for a release early next week.

[Bouncer222]

Hope you guys can as well implement the option to have different award categories show up differently such as for example found here at www.edgegamers.org , somehow they made it show up in different boxes in the forums, just check out any of their posts under the avatar.

Good idea, but I can wait for a solid vB4 port first. =)
