I had that error way back when, as I recall 'hacknho' was the listed mod author then, and I was only able to fix it with his(her?) help. This time, I get no error showing in the members list, but I also do not get a listing of awards showing there.

My biggest request in the automation dept. involves member anniversary dates. I have members who have been around for 8+ years now, and I wish there was a way to indicate that, with an award that changes on their anniversary date. I do have a nice little system using Ranks that adds a star in the postbit for every 1000 posts, but some of the long-term members are pretty quiet. I wish I could reward longevity some way....

Oops. I really came here to say that sorting does not appear to work for me, as I understand it.
I wanted to only show one award in the postbit, since I have rather larger icons in use, and after I awarded bunches of people for various things, decided I wanted a defferent one to actually show. So I changed the sort order, assuming that would change the display, but no go... even the display orer in the admincp stayed the same.

We use this to nominate folks for outstanding posts on our site. What I'd like to see is the ability to nominate a post (I put the link to awards.php in the pull down menu in postbit_legacy) and have it snag the URL of the post as part of the message that's sent with the nomination. Doable?

Can I give the SAME award to a user multiple times? Meaning... I want to give out awards on my forums based on tournament results. There have been several hundred tournaments already, and I dont want to make an award for each tournament. I just want to have a general 1st, 2nd and 3rd place trophy... that I can award multiple times... Is this possible?

[Subah]

Great mod , but it is still in beta stage right ??

[Neo_Angelo]

a suggestion for future versions, if a user is awarded the same award more than once it'll show the image with (x2) or whatever the number of times that award has been issued to them for,

also maybe a grouping awards feature that catagorizes awards so members can have an awards showcase that has the options to filter out awards by catagory, for example:

Cometition awards
Forums achievements
Arcade Awards

which admins can add and remove catagorys and mass move awards into catagories to fit their style.

Installed, all works, except that there isn't an entry in the user profile.

I checked and the default theme as well as the custom theme are not showing that tab. Any suggestions?

I just stumbled across this mod and wanted to ask the following - I'm using "Yet Another Award System 3.5 version 2.1.2" and it is running fine on 3.7.3, but I am about to upgrade to VB 3.8.

What do I need to do with this mod to upgrade the version I am currently using or is that not possible with this version?
