Current Release: v3.8.4 Newest Release

Thanks....I thought I was running the latest version. I've GOT to start paying better attention.

Well...for me...the problem is now worse. It may have solved the problem with the apostrophe, I haven't tried it yet. But I just tried to issue an award to a member with the & symbol in his name and it says "User Not Found". It's worse now though because if I try to use the member ID number, I now get this error:

Content Encoding Error

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.

* Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

It seems to work OK with a regular username but still having a problem with at least SOME symbols.

UPDATE: It seems that in spite of the above error, it did actually issue the award when I used the member ID number.

This works really nice, and I love that we can place it in the signature. Saves loads of room.

How can i place the awards in a custom place?

[rockintoon]

Can someone help me with any kind of css code or edit that can space the awards from the text, when i use the box it overlaps into the text. any help would be apreciated!

[Xanlamin]

you have an issue with your postbit code, and it is most likely one of your other mods that is causing your issue.

Any chance of making this look like your vb4.0 version. I like that one much better, with the separate page for the awards it looks truly amazing.

Hello,

I am trying to create a new Award and I got a error message saying "Unknown column 'award_allowrecommend' in field list". This also comes while editing existing awards.

I have disabled the point system in my Forum. If I enable it, I also get an error message saying Unknown column 'award_pointvalue' in 'field list'.

I have recently upgraded my forum to 3.8.4 therefore upgraded the YaAS to 3.8.4.

I went to phpMyadmin and noticed these 2 fields (award_pointvalue & award_allowrecommend) are not there in Award table. How can I manually add these 2 fields. Somebody please guide me.

Database error in vBulletin 3.8.4:

Invalid SQL:

	INSERT INTO vb3_award 
		(award_name, award_desc, award_icon_url, award_img_url, award_cat_id, award_displayorder, award_allowrequest, award_allowrecommend, award_pointvalue, award_active)	
	VALUES 
		('xxxxxxxxx',
			'',

This is a very great award system, I really like it, but in your description you said something of award automation.
Could you explain more on how this is done? My board is running on v3.8.5 and I would appreciate award automation.

Thanks!
