Say you have two awards and the criteria for each is 10, and 20.
Once the user reaches 10, that user will get the award for 10 posts. Now, when user gets 20 posts, and gets the award for 20 posts, should the award for 10 posts be removed, or stay?

For ease of coding, they'll be left with both awards. That alright?

If it's in the same award category then it will be replace with a better one

Yes that is fine, maybe make a future option to remove the old award.

Post count award is great... what's also greatly needed is these...

-Specific award for specific usergroup promotion
-Specific award for a certain lenght member

Our site really needs those Especially when we are massively promoting new users.

I don't hava a screen shot and its the same on default style

Award Tab is attached to bottom Bar where (Contact Us Home of Nikon-Digital Photography Enthusiasts Admin Mod Archive Top) all those links are located
This worked fine in prevues version

one of the user categories was getting pushed down
User Profile Field Categories
its all the way at the bottom at all user profiles

OK fixed that
in
Location on Profile Page
Profile fields will always be shown on the 'About Me' tab, in addition to any location you select here.

I switched from:

Main Column, Last Tab

to

Only in about me tab

and it worked

This was strange

This mod is worthy of a MOTM. Great work with this!

Next time that happens, if you remember grab a screenshot of it I can see exactly what it's doing.

I'm about 70% done with the "Automation System", so that is being worked on. It should be in the RC2 release of the Awards System.

The next update I see after RC2 will most likely be Gold release, as I think this upgrade is running pretty stable on vB 4.0.1.

Of course, if ya'll like this mod, be sure to nominate for MOTM :P
