I can't thank you enough for taking the time to update YASS to be compatible with vB3.7. We have many contests throughout the year on my tennis site, and these awards have become a very popular feature of my forum. I've delayed the upgrade to vB3.7 waiting for this, because I feared mutiny on my forum if the awards were no longer available.

The upgrade went smoothly, all awards are there. Just a bang-up job!!

Thank you so much!

It's useless to me now.. I've removed everything and tried reinstalling and still get the same error.. now, since that error won't let the settings page load, I can't allow users to request awards... guess I'll wait for this to come out of beta.

thank you

Was there a particular reason you had not?

It is just a blank avatar for those who do not have avatars set.

I love this mod, and I'll be installing it momentarily. The only thing I wish it had was something like this:

User 1 gets an award, does what it currently does but it has a numerical value associated with it. That way, users can get a running score of how many achievements they have, and total gamerscore (Yeah, this is a rip off of Xbox Live haha).

[edit] To remove that line, just remove the two fieldsets within the code. (that's what it normally is, if not try "legend")

The instructions are posted, if you do not have any of the stated ways of backing up the tables you can ask someone to help you install the hack. (we can do that )

The postbit is a cached variable from within the awards_postbit_display template.

Could you elaborate more on this, I think I know where your going with this but not 100% sure.

Since I am still in progress of adding awards to my current board this is my current awards graphics dir, there are alot of awards in here, mainly military based but thats just me. you can weed out what you like/dislike, I will get more and post them as well over time. Also a lot of these are not yet dark background friendly, I still need to have CyhperSTL make them transparent, as soon as he does I will link ya to those as well...
