And should be out by the end of the week.

Any consideration on the mass award handout option for the next version?

i want to insert a button to link to user?s awards....

i mean a direct link, (actually this mod uses "awards.php-userid-etc" (for example)

im using this mod https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228507 and it only works with links without variables like userid..
i would like to insert button "My Awards" without needing specification of userid (so...link is available to any user..not only one user).

tell me if you dont understand what im saying xD...im not english speaker, so is a bit difficult to me explain well...but i can do it better

Sorry I keep pushing the release of RC2.

Currently, I'm at my brothers house and have been most of the week as my car is having some problems and we're working on getting that fixed. Hopefully it isn't too much longer guys.

anybody know if you can award users in batches? say, a script or something to award the same award to multiple users, instead of doing it user by user?

That is on my list to add. It might not make it into RC2, but it will be in a future release.

[iDCamps]

awesome... it would be sweet to enter a string of user id's or usernames into the input box, instead of only one. but honestly i've no idea how to go about it.

Is there an option to show 'some' awards in posts or not ? For example, I gave an award for someone and showed it in posts for one month. After that, I wouldn't it to be shown in posts but I want it to be shown in the user profile 'In awards tab' .

However, thanks for this great mod and we are waiting YaAS-4.0.0-RC2 .

On the same line of thought, I have awards that I want to ALWAYS show in the postbit, and at a specific position. For instance, I have leaders for various groups that after a while retire. I'd like to honor them and their work with an award that shows this, but if they do something that gets them other awards, it'll fall off the postbit. I could raise the number of icons, but... it'll be too much if they get too many awards (which is possible).

Anyway, someone else I'd like to see if you guys can add it in. =)
