It's being triggered by a bug in the automation, but you can work around that by removing the apostrophe from the issue reason.

In the automation system, say i have 4 awards for posts. It seems to be deleting the awards for any previous post count requirements and adding the latest award. So for example

Award 1 - 50 posts
Award 2 - 100 posts.

I'll already have the Award 1 50 post award but when i finally get to 100 posts the auto systems takes a away the 50 posts award 1 and adds the 100 post award 2 in its place. Is their a way to get it not to take away a previously rewarded award?

Never mind i figured out how to get the trophies to stack up instead and instead of delete.

Have you set the setting so that a post or thread is generated and does the forum/thread the settings is pointing to actually exist and can the user granting the award post in that forum/thread?

Hello squidsk,

Is it possible to add feature to delete mass awards for a member?

Also, would it be possible to log who gives awards in the admin logs?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Guys,

Scenario is I want to have:

1 medal for Top 100 finishes, so all the medals are the same. However, I also want to show the actual ranking when you hover over the medal.

Top 100 medal - hover shows '2nd Overall (2013)'
Top 100 medal - hover shows '4th Overall (2013)'
Top 100 medal - hover shows '99th Overall (2013)'

The most obvious but LONG way is to make 100 awards and just change the Name/Description but that would mean I have to do 100 links to icon and images, name and description; which is not practical.

Is there a way I can show the actual rank, such as putting the rank in the 'issue reason' box? At least, it's just one box rather than replicating 100 award with links to icon, images, name, description etc.

Right now it shows all with the medals as Top 100 (2013), which at the last resort I'll just have to accept. But it's weird as the guy 2nd Overall did exceptionally well whereas the guy who finishes 99th did good.

The reason why I can't replicate the awards 100 times, is there due to the fact that I have Top 1000 medals

thanks all

Now I have skimmed through all the posts since my last visit and haven't seen this question raised.

How difficult would it be to set it up to automatically add a user to a usergroup upon issuing a certain award?
