stupid question im sure, but will this work for Vb4.1.5

[cen1]

I don't want to read through 62 pages so I'll ask.

We're still using this system for 3.8 version but we're moving to vb4 soon.

In 3.8 we allowed the awards to be given from modcp. We assigned a new usergroup with permissions which show the Give award link in modcp to certain moderators. But this did not work at all... even the lowest level mod (normal subforum moderator without award permission) could simply enter modcp and add /awards.php and be able to use it.

This is especially a problem because we have an option to create clan subforums where any regular user can get mod, thus opening the award system to public.

Are these permissions fixed in vb4 version or not?

Found out anything yet? I just wonder if we set the permissions wrong or there is an actual flaw (speaking for 3.8, it might have transfered to v4).

most likely it has something to do with your theme did you check other themes to make sure it is just that one? It could help them narrow down the problem.

Are you taling about 3.8 or vb4?

Anyway, good to know that there are people out there with the same problem.

[chrissyplum79]

there is the back tab on profiles for Visitor Messages, About Me, and Friends but when I see the awards there is no back tab it just says awards. Other than that this is a really good mod if anybody knows how to fix that please tell me.
