The option is set I still receive that error message when any usergroup(even admin) tries to request awards.

That was the issue. However the text for that option is very misleading.

If you want to create award request as a new thread in your forum, please enter the forum ID that contain new request.
Leave it 0 if you dont want to create new thread.

Leaving it 0 breaks the request option.

glad u got it working ... my forum members love the awards - we have ones that only staff can give out and then fun awards that they need to earn and then can request them -- we then ( staff ) vote on them with the poll option

[Scarface Claw]

Any plans for this to have automated functions that can tie into things like posts counts and number of years they have been a member etc?

[Tanpapasmurf]
