I use your product for a long time, and have lots of awards, so removing them would be hard.

I had to disable the automation product, because although I set it to "no" on the settings, it kept working and giving the awards again.

One doubt: once someone gets an award for number of posts, does it stop giving the same one to them?

The automation script is buggy to say the least. I have started on 100% recoding it, but I'm not sure of a time frame on when it will actually be completed.

Currently, I'm working on a few bug fixes and getting YAAS working again properly on 4.0.8; then I'll play with the automation system again.

I'll hopefully have it run more checks, etc, to where it checks if you've manually done the award previously, or not, etc.

Thanks for your consideration, Cypher. Your mod is one of the best out there.

I checked the readme and the thread but couldn't find it:

How can I choose a custom place to display the awards? The vb3 way is not working on vb4...

Hey guys. Just a bit of an update here.

From looking at the vBulletin bug tracker, it seems that Profile Tabs will be changing again in 4.0.9 due to bugs related to the profile tabs in 4.0.8.

So, instead of fixing this in 4.0.8, just for it to break in 4.0.9, I'm going to wait until vB 4.0.9 to release the YAAS Update.

Mod works great on my forum but messed up the awards.php page badly. Can anyone help me correct this page and make it stylise properly so that it fits the current template?
