I gave an award to a certain user but I forgot to insert the reason why giving that person this award.

How can I insert the reason afterwards? I couldn't find any option where to insert the reason afterwards. Is it still possible?

Thanks for helping.

I've uninstalled it, updated the software to 4.06 and re-installed. I've press "go" on the sch task and seems to work now :up:

When you are manually giving an award to a user below the section where you fill in the details for the award to give is a section for users who already have the award, click edit for the appropriate user there.

How do I go about editing the message that YAAS sends when I've selected to PM users upon awarding them?

Edit the appropriate phrase using the phrase manager.

May I make a suggestion for the activity name?

While it can edited via the Online Location Unknown plugin, not a lot people know how to do that.

The current activity name for it is Award System Viewing Award System's. May I suggest Viewing Page Awards? I think that makes much more sense. That's what we have, with the exception of Awards being Medals.

Just a suggestion, though.

I am in the process of transferring our site from phpBB3 to vBulletin. I have run the ImpEx importer. How do I transfer the awards themselves without have to re-enter everyone? And what do I need to do to transfer the awards each member has already received?

Everything would need to be done manually since there's no importing tool to import from phpbb3, or any other software.
