I have just gotten around to updating one of my test sites to 4.0.2. I've found a few glitches that I have already begun to dig into fixing. One of which is the Awards link displaying on every tab within the Profile.

Just an FYI to everyone; I am also using this mod on a live production 4.0.2 board (http://www.clan82ndairborne.com), so any bugs/glitches encountered should be able to be confirmed more quickly, and an updated posted more quickly.

For those of you having issues with the display of the awards on the postbit_legacy, try selecting the "postbit_right_after_posts" location and it should display more neatly.

Double check in the AdminCP -> Award System Settings that you have a location set for award requests to be sent to (Email, PM, Forum ID, Thread ID, etc....).

Just an update on the installation of the Awards System with columns not being created, on a fresh 4.0.2, for some reason they wern't created. I'll be going through the upgrade scripts to see if I can track this down.

I'm getting exactly the same problem

Is there any way to make this mod have awards that expire? and to tie in a promotion when they have so many awards? and demoted when the awards expire?

I love this mod, great work!! I have not installed it yet cause i kind of unsure... I'm actually looking for a way to post a badge for participating members. I was wondering if this w3ould be able to retrofit my need. I have a site of graphic developers and i want to put a badge on certain members that belong to the development team. Would it be fair to say that i could substitute the medals with a badge. Or better yet now that i think about it i wouldk like to keep the reward system in tact and use it for every submitted art piece and give a reward base on that.... But I still with have the problem of the badge being displayed in the postbits. I'm definitely going to install this mod now... Can anyone shed light on the badge situation?

you add whatever images you want to it, you can have as many categories that you wish, each category can support an unlimited number of awards (images), you can automate an award to be given when a user is in a certain usergroup, there are a lot of options.
