I am also getting a database error with the latest version. I have disabled the plugin for now. I am only getting this error if I click on a users name to view their profile.

Anyway to fix this?

Seems fine with mine... Maybe a MySQL time Limit issue with your host?

You might of forgotten to overwrite the product when installing ...that's the case most times ...

well what i did was go into the upload folder, selected everything inside and uploaded it to /public_html/forum which is my forum root. I have a admincp folder and a modcp folders in the forum root, i never renamed them either

Yeah I have had issues like that as well... Not with just this but a few others... Shared hosting sometimes has it's hiccups for me that is!

hey, we have a forum with over 7000 People, we are trying to use the system

Award: first 2 weeks registered on the site, this works fine, but when we add 6 months member of the forum, it removes people from that first 2 weeks award

Also, can you make it so we can add more options to the auto

example is the fact we dont want guests/trials/banned to be a part of the 6 months activity....

So allow us to only include X usersgroups

could you help us via skype or something? as this is quite frustrating!

In the current version there's no way to avoid this without editing the cron job that adds the awards. In the current version awards in a category are made to superceed previous awards in the same category, where category is posts, days as member. In the next version, no ETA on it, this is changed by allowing awards to be set as permanent, which will prevent them from being removed when the next level of automation is given.

Someone a few pages back posted about a fix for this, which is just commenting out the part where previous awards are deleted.

Good suggestion I'll work on including them in the next release. Thanks.

I don't usually provide the level of customization that would be required for the changes you're asking for.

Been using this mod for a long time now and love it

There is one thing i would like some help with and thats the number of awards displayed currently five are displayed on a line and i would like each line of awards to display only four.
So if someone has 8 awards they would display in two lines of 4 instead of 5 on the top and 3underneath.

thanks for your help in advance

Hi there.

This is to let you know that the latest update to the YAAS mod has broken something.
It seems the medals are not aligned to the left anymore when a member has a long user title ? I uploaded two pictures to show you. The medals for user title "SFK's Prince Consort are aligned properly, but not the ones for "Super Moderator of the Round Table". Also, only 5 medals per line now ? All medals were on the same line before. It looks very bad now.

Can you please fix it ? Or please send me a link to the previous version I had (I think it was 4.0.4). Thank you.

EDIT : I found the 4.0.4 version on another forum.
EDIT #2 : It's the 4.0.6 version that brought the bad change.

Still hoping you will fix it though.
