There is no awards tab on vb 4.2 unless you manually add one and point it to the awards.php page.

Okay I understand that, but when I point the tab/page to the awards.php file, for some reason doesn't link the file to the tab.

I can reach that page (mydomainname).com/forum/awards.php but when I click the award tab the page is blank and is listed as (mydomainname).com/forum/index.php?page=awards

I am also using vBadvanced CMPS so there might be an issue there, but there shouldn't be.

Do you think its something I'm doing wrong? I see that other people have got it working.

From what I can tell it has a portal management system included, which seems likely to play around with the navigation system. Disable vba (and all modules) and see what happens.

Given I've manually created a tab on a default install and vba is another product you have installed and it changes the portal (i.e. navigation) . . .

I'd also bet to get it to work with vba you'd need to change/add some setting in vba for it to recognize the page.

Awesome.

So no need for that CSS you added in additional.css anymore?

Did this also fix the date order thing I asked about earlier or would our owner still have to do that manually?

Yes you can now remove that fix from additional.css, and no the ordering was not fixed, its on the list for the next release.

Once our owner updates it, I will remove it. Thanks!

Regarding the date order, you wouldn't happen to have an ETA on the next release, would you?

Also, I know this is trivial, but if you could add a comma between the date and time, that'd be appreciated.

• Currently, it's like this: 1/29/2013 12:00 AM
• With a comma: 1/29/2013, 12:00 AM
