It seems that vB 4.0.1 now has Tab Ordering. So, once I get the tabs going again, I'll update it.

Umm the Awards Tab has dissappeared right... But in the last version the tabs appeared. Maybe some change in the template. I'm very new in vBulletin ,but you can try a diferential search in the template in order to find what is changed respect the previous version. Sorry if I am saying stupid things...

[CypherSTL]

I've reverted all of the templates in my Default Style, so they're in sync with vB 4.0.1. I believe this has something do with the "Tab Ordering" that was added into 4.0.1. Still trying to find out how to actually enter in the data for the tab ordering to see if it displays at that point.

Alright, well, I need to heat out to work, so I'll work on this some more when I get back.

All I can say, if you guys haven't updated to vB 4 yet, don't, it's a piece of junk IMO.

hmm so what is the benefit of point system? I mean what does it calculate ? it depends on what ?

I like to see an auto award feature depends on posts number , reputation or points for example, and happy to see it upgraded

Great mod, our members loved it on 3.8 and will do again on vb4, I have set the awards to show on the userinfo left, is there a manual way to place the awards below the instant messaging icons?

[absy]

This is a great mod, should be in the vb4 as default, thanks agian for all your hard work

I'm starting to agree...I pre-bought 2 o the suite versions and I have no plans on upgrading my other forums till I have to or till I can go with a different product. So many bugs and things screwing up it's pathetic.
